Waterfall plot

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Waterfall plot is a three-dimensional plot which shows grid lines for only one of the axes. The result is a series of "mountain" shapes that appear to be side by side, resembling a waterfall. The waterfall plot is often used to show how two-dimensional information changes over time or some other variable. The term waterfall plot is sometimes used interchangeably with spectrogram
