Plot of folded Light Curves

It is possible to plot the output of the folding programs with the standard MIDAS commands for the plot of tables. However to have a ``standard'' plot for the power spectra the commands PLOT/FOLDING and PLOT/PULSE_PROFILE are available.

These commands plot the folded light curve produced by MAKE/FOLDING and FOLD/LIGHT_CURVE. Each point in the table will be plotted with its error bar in counts. PLOT/PULSE_PROFILE plots the folded light curve in a histogram like style. The syntax of the commands are:

PLOT/FOLDING fold_table  
PLOT/PULSE_PROFILE fold_table lstyle error_bar

where:

fold_table is the name of the input table containing the folded light curve.
lstyle is the line style used to plot the pulse profile default is 1, use solid line.
error_bar flag for ploting error bars [Y/N]. The default is [Y].
