Frequencies of the basic outer-disk profile types along the Hubble sequence. This plot uses data from the combined sample, including the early-type barred galaxies from Paper I and the late-type galaxies from PT06. Error bars represent 68% confidence intervals, based on the Wilson confidence interval for binomial statistics (see the text).
