Description
This example shows how to make a plot of multiple lines with a residual difference panel below the main plot.
Is this something that is common enough that we could have a dedicated function for creating it?
For example, plopp.residual_plot(b, c, reference=a) would show 3 lines in the main panel and b-a and c-a in the residuals panel.
I guess it would be most useful if it could be used as a view in a graph of nodes, and not just a single purpose function.
This would mean that it could be used in combination with a slider, where both the main panel and the residuals would update when moving the slider.

Research direction
Start with the linked “Axes placement” example to understand the existing multi-panel approach, then inspect the APIs for graph views and sliders mentioned in the issue. Define how a residual plot would combine multiple main lines, reference differences, and synchronized updates before identifying the implementation and tests needed.
