Caption: Fig. 8.
Top: Asterisks indicate the best‐fitting values of μ and σ to the complete sample of LGA spirals, assuming a lognormal distribution of disk ellipticities. The heavy solid line, light solid line, and dotted line indicate the ﹩P=0.5﹩, 0.1, and 0.01 isoprobability contours. Red indicates shapes deduced from Ks data; blue indicates shapes from B data. Dashed lines show the scatter in the Tully‐Fisher relation; contours are drawn, starting at the lower left, at 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 mag. Middle: Same as top, but for spirals of Hubble type Sc or later. Bottom: Same as top and bottom, but for spirals of type Sbc or earlier. A indicates best fit to data of Andersen et al. (2001); R indicates best fit of Ryden (2004).
