y= Eddington-Finkelstein v-r [what Hartle calls t-tilde ... Schwarzschild time far away from the horizon.]
[Also for a brief section offer the equations of the same light rays taking simply y = v. Plotting t-tilde = v-r on the vertical axis is more natural since it is asymptotically the Schwarzschild time. The other is available just in case one wants a straight plot of v vs. r. Be careful not to confuse the two representations! Only one should be plotted at a time.]
