Hi David,
Maybe someone else has a more elegant solution, but here is what I do: sage: f(x) = x^2 sage: g(x) = (x-5)^2 sage: fp = plot(f, (x, -10, 10), rgbcolor = (0,0,1)) sage: gp = plot(g, (x, -10, 10), rgbcolor = (1,0,0)) sage: (fp+gp).show() The plot commands now only create the two plot objects fp and gp, without displaying them. The last line combines them into one plot object and displays it.
