@Nicholas

From your description it seems plausible you refer to /stacked plots/.  Have a
look on gnuplot's example gallery, section «page layout», entry «multiplot
layout»

https://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/demo_5.2/layout.html

examples four and five.  If I recall correctly, «Gnuplot in Action» by Philip
Janert (Manning Publications) equally describes the stacking curves for the
simultaneous presentation of multiple time series, in one of the later
chapters.  On occasion, it equally is a valuable technique for the visual
comparison of 2D histograms in a column in common if both plots share the same
over all interval, bin size, etc.  (Of course, you have the distributions
mean, median, kurtosis, skewness, etc. as a numeric tool.)
