Yes, you need to use zip in your case. list_plot takes a list of points, like this: list_plot([ (x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3)]) You were trying to pass it two lists, one of x coordinates and one of y coordinates. This is how you would do things in matlab, but not Sage: list_plot([x1, x2, x3], [y1, y2, y3]) The zip command just converts between these: zip([x1,x2,x3], [y1,y2,y3]) is [(x1,y1), (x2,y2), (x3,y3)] You can see the documentation for list_plot and zip by typing the command name followed by a question mark: list_plot? zip? Having said that, this confusion points to a bug in the list_plot documentation. It should probably mention this and show how to use the zip command.
