Anyone know if there is a way to do a multiple-surface chart (and if so, how), such as the bottom one shown at https://plot.ly/python/3d-surface-plots/, but using the javascript plot.ly api instead of the python one?

To reproduce any plotly graph you see on the plotly cloud, append .js to the graph's URL:

This is the same example as the document. I still don't understand it.

we take three datasets for three surfaces (z1, z2, z3), and plot them in a single figure, with
showscale set to False for the latter two ..
