Hi Ellie,

I don't have any suggestions for further tweaks.  Combining the central two
points would look compelling but the x bin would be quite large.  We should
have a slide as backup for the PAC, but I think its ok to leave separate
for now.

Is it possible to post or send the .agr files?  I think I can make them
behave and produce clean plots...

-Karl
