In part 1, I showed you how to export MS data (MS= Mass Spectrometer/ry): http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/474-exporting-data-from-wsearch32-and.html
In part 2, I showed you how to generate theoretical isotopic envelopes, and how to compare them with observed ones: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/480-ms-data-part-ii-plotting-and.html
In part 3, I showed you how to make contour plots of '3D' data -- in that particular case the extra dimension was cone voltage, but it could just as easily have been time: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/ms-data-part-iii-generating-matrix-by.html
In part 4, we'll use the same data as in part 3, but we'll make a stacked plot of it. This is a short post.
There is at least one other way of making a stacked plot in gnuplot, but it doesn't yield what I'd consider as being publication quality plots. It's also fairly restrictive in the type of data can be plotted. The method shown here is general and applicable to all types of data. You can e.g. use it for time-dependent NMR data...
Here's an example of a gnuplot script:
and here's the plot:
If you want to make it really fancy, try this:
