Histograms of break radii for Type II and III profiles, in units of R 25, including barred and unbarred galaxies. The left-hand panel uses data from this paper and Paper I (S0–Sb galaxies), while the right-hand panel uses data from PT06 (Sbc–Sdm galaxies). The blue and hashed black bars represent all the galaxies of each type in a given bin range, but are presented with the intervals between them for greater clarity, since we are plotting two histograms together.
