No, it's not clearer; this is basically the same EPS that I got, so it
gives me no new information. What do you get with the new aspect? If
it's not what you want, you'll have to explain what you want more
clearly. Also, don't make the panel borders transparent, as it makes
it difficult to understand what's going on.
