Caption: Figure 9.

(Left panel) Distribution in the sky of 3689 confirmed or probable Virgo cluster members from the NGVS. Symbol colors indicate different morphological structural codes, as indicated in the legend. For reference, the large red circles indicate the virial radii of Virgo’s two major subclusters, centered on M87 (A) and M49 (B). The footprint of the NGVS is shown in light gray. (Right panel) Same as the previous panel, except now with symbols showing different star formation codes.
