Examples of EFIGI galaxies with the five possible values of the Inclination/Elongation attribute: 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 from left to right. The PGC number and the EFIGI Hubble type are indicated inside each image. For each attribute value, 3 types are shown: pure bulge (cE, cD, E), lenticular and S0a galaxies in the top row, early spirals in the middle row (from Sa to Scd), later spirals (Sd to Sm), Im and dE in the bottom row. Note the very low surface brightness of the Scd, Sd, Im and Sm galaxies in the central panel and the 2 left panels in the bottom row, typical of such objects which are numerous in the EFIGI catalogue. In all images, north is up and east to the left.
