Ridgeline plot

From HandWiki
Short description: Data graphic

A ridgeline plot (also known as a joyplot[1][note 1]) is a series of line plots that are combined by vertical stacking to allow the easy visualization of changes through space or time. The plots are often overlapped slightly to allow the changes to be more clearly contrasted.[2][3][4][5]

Notes

  1. ↑ The name Joyplot is derived from the use of a Ridgeline plot of the intensity of pulses from a pulsar on the front of Joy Division's album Unknown Pleasures.
