Compare in Plugin Menu

Instructions:

Click on the icon in the lower left of the My.Eyedro.com display and select Compare.
The graph has cost or consumption on the left, and time on the bottom.
Hovering your mouse over a bar in the graph provides more details about that section.
Clicking on the dot representing the color on the graph turns that part off in the display.
Select the desired Display group in the dropdown menu.
Select the date you want to compare before and after in the date picker.
Select the time units you want to view in the dropdown menu.
The number of time units viewable can be adjusted.
The details pane can be collapsed for a larger view of the graph.
The details pane states the Max, Min, Average, and total of both items being compared, as well as a percentage difference between the two items.
In Options, you can display data as either cost or consumption, and comparison type as either Before/After or Compared To.
If Compared To is selected, you can select the other Display Group from the dropdown menu as well.
