Yes, thanks, I first learned about StackGraphics in Wickham-Jones.
However, when I try to reproduce their example:
1) Fills works on FilledPlots made individually
2) Fills *doesn't* work on lists of plots made using Map or Table.
3) Although StackGraphics makes the stacked plot, it first gives an
error message
StackGraphics::"bdpts": "Error in non-convex triangulation."
4) The examples in W-J all use the syntax "ListFilledPlot" instead of
"FilledListPlot",which I believe is the correct form . . . ??
For what I want to do I'd just as soon use ListPlot3D instead, if I
could just turn off the mesh lines in one direction and keep only the
mesh lines that are in the stack plots. (And, ListPlot3D seems to run
significantly faster.)
