Caption: Figure 6.

Same as Figure 5, but this time showing the final eccentricity in terms of the final pericentric distance. The color code identifies the initial eccentricity of each planet: black for those initial conditions with e < 0.25, red for 0.25 < e < 0.5, green for 0.5 < e < 0.75, and blue for e > 0.75. The orbits of real exoplanets are labeled by orange squares.
