# Three Staggered Values - Visualisation?

I have 3 process parameters that independently cycle between zero and some peak value, as shown on this filled line time-series plot:

Although not a direct control variable, the 'health' of the system can be gauged by the consistency of relative 'stagger' (or difference) between these three parameters at any single point in time. A-B, B-C, C-A.

I am struggling to find an effective way to represent these relative stagger values - on the same timeline. A simple plot of e.g. A - B cycles positive to negative but isn't very intuitive. Ideally I'd like to represent all three relative differences on one discernible plot.

You could compare the relative values over time quite easily with a "stacked" graph, where each of the processes is a layer in the stack. In Pandas' plotting, it is referred to as an area plot.

Here is an example with some dummy data:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

p1, p2, p3 = np.random.random(100), np.random.random(100), np.random.random(100)

df = pd.DataFrame([p1, p2, p3]).T
