User manual: replace heatmap comparison graphic
The new heatmap graphic reflects how the heatmap is now displayed. Also update text describing graphic. Signed-off-by: Rick Walsh <rickmwalsh@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Dirk Hohndel <dirk@hohndel.org>

Since the colours of the heat map are not affected by the gradient factor(s), the heat map is also
applicable when using the VPM-B decompression model.
-The image below shows the profiles and heat maps for two dives to about 45m.
-The inert gas pressures in the fast tissues
-rise much more rapidly, going through the sequence from light blue to light green and orange.
-In contrast, the slow tissues accumulate inert gas at a much slower rate.
+The image below compares the profiles and heat maps for two planned decompression dives to 60m:
+the first using the Bühlmann decompression model, the second using the VPM-B decompression model.
+Both profiles have the same total decompression time, but the VPM-B model requires deeper stops early in the acent phase.
+
+In both profiles, the inert gas pressures in the faster tissues rise much more rapidly than the slower tissues during
+the descent and bottom phase, with the colors transitioning from light blue through blue and purple to black.
+Similarly, the inert gas pressure in the fast tissues reduces more rapidly than the slow tissues at each decompression stop,
+with colors transitioning from red, orange and yellow to green and black.
+
+The comparison of the two profiles and heatmaps shows that by including deep stops, the oversaturation gradient in the
+faster tissues early in ascent phase is reduced.
+However, on-gassing of slower tissues continues during the deep stops, which leads to greater oversaturation gradient
+in slower tissues at the end of the dive.
