Notes. Null fractions are replaced by “–” for clarity. Fractions are grouped by types having similar values of Inclination/Elongation and Arm Rotation attributes. “All disks” corresponds to types from S0 to Sm. For cE, E and cD galaxies, the Arm Rotation attribute is undefined because none of these galaxies have spiral arms. And very few of the S0, S0, Im and dE have detectable spiral arms.
