Profiles of emission lines from an opaque rotationally supported accretion torus (top panel) and a geometrically thin optically thick accretion disk (bottom panel) viewed at different inclinations i. The torus dynamical parameters are n = 0.21 and rk = 12  rg. The inner boundary radius of the torus rin = 8.486  rg and the outer boundary radius rout = 20.246  rg. The disk has the same values for the inner boundary radius and the outer boundary radius as the torus. In both cases, the black-hole spin parameter a = 0.998. The line emissivity is proportional to r-2, where r is the radial distance from the central black hole. The line profiles are normalised such that the flux F(E0) = 1 at the view inclination angle i = 60°, where E0 is the rest-frame line centre energy.
