Hi, i want to make a plot like this type:

```
If[Abs[angle1] < 10, ListPlot[angle1]]

```

How is it possible to do with Mathematica?

That’s a way

```
ListPlot[RandomReal[{-20, 20}, 100] /. x_Real :> If[Abs[x] > 10., 0, x], PlotRange -> {Automatic, {-11, 11}}]

```

please note, if `angle1` is a list (because it appears in `ListPlot[]`) then `Abs[angle1]` threads over the list `angle1` and `Abs[angle1] < 10` is meaningless and comes back unevaluated. Just try subexpressions before using them:

```
In[9]:= l = {1, -2, 3, -4, 5, -5, 7};

In[10]:= Abs[l]
Out[10]= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7}

In[11]:= Abs[l] < 10
Out[11]= {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7} < 10

```
