The distributions of the sample clusters in the Galactic coordinate system. The lengths of the blue and red bars are proportional to the ellipticities of the cores and overalls of the clusters, respectively. The inclinations of the blue and red bars indicate the orientations of the cores and overalls of the clusters, respectively. The midpoints of the bars are set to the cluster’s positions.
