python怎么在一张图上画多条折线_如何在python中直观地堆叠多个折线图？

I was having trouble creating a plot I need which has multiple line graphs.

What I want is a way to graph each of these above the other (say one has a baseline of y=5 I want the next to have a baseline of y=10) and also each of these graphs must block the one above it.

So this will inevitably look like the cover to Joy Divisions Unknown Pleasures here:

Except inverted colors and I also would like an answer that utilizes python or numpy or matplotlib.

Here's one way. The key point is to use fill_between function and offset each plotted line with some margin (i*2 in this case). Also, plotting has to start from the top, hence the [::-1] in the arange slice.

t=linspace(-2*pi, 2*pi, 1000)

for i in arange(1, pi, 0.01)[::-1]:

left = exp(-(t + (i - 1) * 2*pi)**2) * cos(t * i)**2 - 1

right = exp(-(t - (i - 1) * 2*pi)**2) * cos(t * i)**2 - 1

vertical_offset = i*2

fill_between(t, vertical_offset + left + right, facecolor='white')
