Caption: Figure 6.
Isodensity contours for the surface density of the stellar disks for the three galaxy models. The left column shows the retrograde model, the middle column shows the nonrotating model, and the right column shows the prograde model. The stellar bars have been aligned along the horizon. Time increases downward. We plot the contours at t = 3, 6, and 9 Gyr.
