What is that colorful display under MechJeb's Maneuver Planner, advanced transfer to another planet option?
I've been using MechJeb mod successfully for some time now. But there is one piece of its user interface that is puzzling me.
On the Maneuver Planner, when I select the advanced transfer to another planet option, I get this colorful display below, that apparently can be used to select a maneuver node. I'm saying that because the Δv and maneuver details change as I pass the mouse over the colors on that display. But I have no idea what the colors mean or how the display can be effectively used.

My questions are:
- What is this colorful display showing?
- What do the colors represent?
- How can I use this display to select a particular maneuver node?
I searched but couldn't find information about it anywhere.
I'm using MechJeb 2.5.8 on KSP v1.1.3.1289 (x64).

How do I move to another planet in KSP?
Looking at the graph, click on the location that selects the optimum dV and departure/arrival times for your mission. And then press execute. Same way you would do a mechjeb Mun to Minmus transfer.How do I use MechJeb maneuver planner?
After you have a stable orbit, close Ascent Guidance and open the Maneuver Planner from the MechJeb menu. Go to the map view, and set the Mun as your target. In the Maneuver Planner use the arrows to select 'Hohmann transfer to target'. Then, click 'Create and execute'.How To Get To The Moon Using Mechjeb!! (KSP 1.12.2)
