How to plot using STACKEDPLOT in MATLAB

i'm hoping to reproduce a plot like this using the function STACKEDPLOT.

In the description https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/mlc-downloads/downloads/submissions/24368/versions/4/previews/Stackedplot.html#description here, is says that in order to plot

figh = stackedplot(z,style,spacing,labels,varargin) Z needs to be an array defined as follows

• "z" is a two dimensional array to plot.
• First dimension is the spectroscopic axis.
• Second dimension has the various spectra or plots (e.g. along time)."

However, i'm stuck trying to figure out what that means. What does it mean when it says that the second dimension (presumably)

I have 22 different arrays that i'm hoping to stack together to produce the plot, but i don't see how i can combine them all into an array of Z and it be expressed as an array?

Thanks

The core MATLAB version of stackedplot was introduced in R2018b. The posted plot image seems to be more like a waterfall or ribbon plot, or perhaps even a surf plot.

If the arrays (and I assume that means vectors) all have the same lengths and independent variable values, it would likely be easiest to just concatenate them into a matrix and then use that as the ‘z’ argument to whatever plot function you choose.
