Sleepyhead "bars" Red vs Green?

In the Daily Graphs mode of Sleepyhead, down at the bottom right there are little two colored bars, with one color green (or red) and the other black.

What do these indicate?

Thanx.

On the lower right corner of the bottom of the graphs....those are for turning off or on the various graphs that are offered for display.
Red is off and green is on.
You can turn them off or on at this level or go over to the Preferences then graphs tab and turn them off or on there.

I use the off function to turn off the graphs that I don't really care to see so that I can get the graphs I want to see show up at a glance with no need for scrolling. Like the AHI graph...I don't need that because I have the events graph at the top.

Wow! Glad you guys discussed this, I never knew you could turn those off! I also found you could turn off session information on daily details, below the graph. I had overlaid the oximetry info on the graphs, but I didn't pay attention to the time stamps. I had hooked up a new mask and tested the fit earlier that afternoon and of course it threw the graphs off. It started my oximeter info at the time of my mask fitting. So, I reloaded the oximetry info, changed the time stamp and imported again and now I had two overlays of the oxygen levels and heart rate on my graphs, that overlapped each other for several hours. Now I see I can turn off the first overlay and see the proper alignment, since I don't know how to remove the first one! Glad to always learn new things on this great forum with a lot of knowledgeable people, willing to answer peoples questions. Thanks Pugsy!
By the way, you wouldn't by chance have been a teacher in a former life, would ya!

Sounds like you're describing the bottom left, not the right? Because the red/green/black bars you describe sound like the sessions bars. At least in my version of SH they're on the left.

If you sleep for a while, then turn the machine off, then restart, you'll have two of those bars (two sessions). You can click on the black slider part of the bar and it will move to one side or the other. When red is showing, that session won't be represented in the graphs. Click it again and the black moves over to show green on the other side. You'll see the graphs change as you click sessions on or off. If I'm mistaken about what you're asking about, then, well, never mind.

There are actually 2 different sets of red/green/black bars.
One on the lower left under the numerical data for the sessions and one on the lower right for the graphs.
The set on the right is very small and easy to miss. First line is Event flags and then a little arrow thing to expand it and you can actually scroll through the list. I have AHI and mask pressure turned off.

No, but my dad was. Does that count?

Did you all know that you can also resize the graphs so that you can bring the graphs you want to see at a glance all into one image?
Take your mouse cursor and hover it along the bottom line of the graph till you see a short double line...then click and drag to resize. SleepyHead will remember any changes that you make. You can shorten vertical height just a little with each graph and this lets the next graph that would normally require scrolling move on up into viewing area.
This way you can get the main graphs in one screen shot if you are posting an image for review or if you are just like me and prefer to see those graphs at a glance and then move on.
I can get 5 graphs easily without impairing the quality of the image.
This one below I cropped the left side during my screen shot because I didn't need the left side data.

SleepyHead is kind of fun to use. I changed all my fonts and colors and sizes of graphs so that I have things the way I like to look at them.

Ah, thanks Pugsy -- I never noticed that drop-down menu on the bottom right, I'd always changed the graphs by going into the Preferences menu. Much easier your way!
