CP chart setting: "Show Power Profile"

[TT]

Hi,

Apologies in advance if this has been answered elsewhere, but I can't seem to find this info anywhere.

Does anyone know what the faint additional 10 blue, 2 black, and 1 central red power curves are, that appear when you select this option?  If I had to guess, it would be a %ile distribution bands of user power curves for all GC users.  Or is it some kind of additional curvefitting info related to my personal power curve? 

The red curve seems to approximate my personal curve but then again, my CP is at 50th %ile in the user database, so it's not clear to me what these are.

Thanks

.  My personal curve seems to have a completely different shape compared to the extra curves turned on by this setting.

I had to look to source code, we should add this to the wiki

They represent percentiles from contributing GC users, coloring separates the central (50%), medium (>50% but < 95% or <50% but >5%), and extremes (>=95% or <=5%)
