Purpose of Phase selection as a Phase Folding option

Dennis Conti
Hi Karen,

Could you clarify what the purpose of the Phase selection option in the Multi-plot Main Phase Folding section? The legend on the X-axis says Orbital Periods, but I haven't been able to generate any examples where the plot is different from simply choosing Days Since Tc.

Thanks!
Dennis

Sorry, Karen - I figured out the issue, it was my interpretation of the graph since I was only seeing +/- 0.10 instead of +/- 0.5 because I did not have continuous coverage between observations of the star I was analyzing.

Thanks for the update Dennis. One warning as of v5.3.2.01: Transit fitting and spline fitting do not work properly in "Hours since Tc" and "Phase" modes. if you need either of those functions, please use "Days since Tc" mode (or of course Unphased mode). I have recorded a bug report, and hope to soon correct fitting in hours and phase modes.
