hi, I have a set of datapoints such as

```auto
val=3; (*this value is calculated before in the program, so it not known a priori*)
x={0,1,2,3};
data = Table[0, {val}];
For[i = 1, i < val + 1, i++,
 data[[i]] = x+i];

```

Now I can plot each of these data with ListPlot as

```auto
ListPlot[Transpose[{x,data[[1]]}]]

```

and if I want to plot more than one I can do

```auto
ListPlot[{Transpose[{x, data[[1]]}], Transpose[{x, data[[2]]}]}]

```

but how can I plot all of them in one code single line, by considering that val is calculated before in the program  
Is there a way to do something like  
For[i = 1, i \< val + 1, i++, ListPlot[Transpose[{x,data[\*]}]]…]?

I was thinking about the use of Show and overlap the graphs, but probably there is an easier solution

Any tutorial added to the answer is more than welcome  
Thanks

I thought I found the solution with

```auto
ListPlot[Insert[data,x,1]]

```

but the x value is not the right one

Hi,

```auto
 x = {0, 1, 2, 3};

(* do not use For or Do unless it's completely unavoidable *)
data = Table[x[[i]] + i, {i, 1, Length[x]}];
(* note now x and data have the same length *)
Length[x]
Length[data]
(* you can transpose only lists of an equal length *)
Transpose[{x, data}]
(* it's ready to plot *)
ListPlot[%]
(* use Show[] for different types of graphics *)

```

Not sure about a complete tutorial, but F1 can help, at least simple examples can be found there.  
Also try to search the web for solutions, many problems are already solved.

I.M.

Thanks but indeed it is not the answer to my problem.  
I need to plot all the data in different curves but in the same graph

```auto
{{1, 2, 3, 4}, {2, 3, 4, 5}, {3, 4, 5, 6}}

```

with x as common axis  
At the end I want to have a graph with val=3 curves, a kind of static way to plot

```auto
Manipulate[ListPlot[Transpose[{x, data[[i]]}]], {i, 1, val,1}]

```

Thanks
