<p>The “Light curve” dialog is used to make a light curve of an object. The light curve is
common output of the reduction of CCD frame.</p>
<div class="section" id="activating-the-dialog">
<h2>Activating the dialog<a class="headerlink" href="#activating-the-dialog" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>The dialog can be activated:</p>

<p>(1) The list of available data sets is displayed here.</p>
<p>The actual data set is shown here.</p>
<p>Click the “Save” button (3) to save the light curve to the file.</p>

<div class="section" id="context-menu">
<h2>Context menu<a class="headerlink" href="#context-menu" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>You can select an individual point by a right click, you can also

and drawing a rectangle in the graph. Then, click the right mouse button
on a point in the selection to open the context menu. It provides following
functions:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Show frame - it shows a preview to a selected frame. It is not allowed

<li>Show properties - it opens a new dialog with properties of selected frame.
It is not allowed when more than one frame is selected.</li>
<li>Delete from data set - selected measurements are removed from the
current curve, the data will be shown again when you make a new curve
or <em class="guilabel">Rebuild</em> the actual curve.</li>
<li>Remove from project - source frames corresponding to the selected
measurements are removed permanently from the list of input files and
such measurements won’t be included in any other output. It is not allowed
to remove a reference frame.</li>
