Cumulative number of individual galaxies for which the absolute value of the difference between observed and computed oxygen abundance at the optical edge of the galaxies’ R25 isophotal radius is less than a given value. The cumulative number is normalized to the total number of galaxies. The computed oxygen abundances are obtained from the one-dimensional relation O/H = ﹩f({{{\rm \Sigma}}_{{{L}_{W1}}}})﹩ (Equation (12)) (dotted line), from the two-dimensional relation O/H = ﹩f({{{\rm \Sigma}}_{{{L}_{W1}}}},{{h}_{W1}})﹩ (Equation (13)) (solid line), from the two-dimensional relation O/H = ﹩f({{{\rm \Sigma}}_{{{L}_{W1}}}},{{f}_{B}})﹩ (Equation (14)) (long-dashed line), and from the two-dimensional relation O/H = ﹩f({{{\rm \Sigma}}_{{{L}_{W1}}}},T)﹩ (Equation (15)) (short-dashed line).
