Possibly, but the example I showed was bound to look a little cluttered
compared to a simple pair of notched boxes, due to the sheer number of
data points on that graph, and my not taking the trouble to clean up the
legend. This version looks less cluttered, I hope.

and at least for now, it's unfamiliar, and forces a
lot of back and forth between the chart and the legend. Don't knock a
"familiar idiom".


Very true.
