This can be accomplished by a simple press of one of the <guibutton>Rise</guibutton>, <guibutton>Set</guibutton> or <guibutton>Transit</guibutton> buttons. When one of these buttons is pressed, a filled colored circle will be marked on the curve. The color used for Rise, Set and Transit dots are: red for Rise, blue for Set and green for Transit time. For a more intuitive way of using these buttons, they are marked with the color of their specific dots. This way, the user can easily understand the plot and make the association between a certain color and its significance. +Another useful feature that Altvstime tool provides is its ability to compute +and mark the Rise/Set/Transit times.
