    $\begingroup$ This is likely doable. However, I'm sure this is also one of the things that would give Tufte quite a fit; you could do just as well with all three ribbon plots in two dimensions, perhaps in separate plots if combining them proves interfering. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 11, 2015 at 21:41
  • $\begingroup$ Well I tried multipanel plots before - it's just that in the article where I would like to use this I will not have the space to do this (I have 5 groups, which would be 5 panels, and the curves and points also overlap too much to be able to overlay them in one 2D graph, even when using transparency). So the 3D way that I show would be the only way to combine everything within the space that I have. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 5:12

    $\begingroup$ And to be able to read the Y values more clearly I would still like to add Y grid lines at the back and maybe invert the X scale so that the high Y values would be at the back (it's only the values at the endpoint that matter really for me). $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 12, 2015 at 9:02
  • $\begingroup$ Instead of assembling 2d to 3d, one can fit directly to 3d with a curvature in third axis direction. $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 14, 2015 at 4:53

    $\begingroup$ Ha no but the different groups are not logically ordered, so it wouldn't make sense to also do a fit in the 3d axis direction - it's separate categorical groups really that I want to show next to each other $\endgroup$ Commented Jun 14, 2015 at 7:16
