After running Process Lasso for about a year I saw something on the graph on the top of the page I had never seen before and is not on the color key showing what color line stands for what.  It is a white or off white color line.Could anybody tell me what this is?   I took a screenshot but I don't see a way to attach a .jpg or insert an image to this message. Thanks!

The white line represents the historical CPU utilization of the process(es) you've selected in the list. So, if you want to know how much CPU process X was using over time, you simply select that process in the list and the white line is drawn. You can select multiple processes and their cumulative usage is drawn.

The absence from the graph legend is because of these reasons:
1. I couldn't draw white on the graph legend since it has a whitish background
2. The graph legend gets a little large and convoluted with a fifth entry

In the meantime, perhaps I can add a one time message box or something that tells users about it.. Hmm..

Aaahh, now I understand.  Nice feature, thank you for bringing me up to speed!

Wow!  I figured out the white line myself, but I did not know you could select multiple processes at once!!! That is VERY useful.

By the way... I just found out you could make the graph legend disappear by clicking on it. I was always annoyed by how much of the graph it covered up, and now I am happy!!! :)
