Regions used in the analysis based on method 1 are shown. The black dots are regions on the fitted plane. The blue dots are the regions, in front of the plane, while red dots are behind the plane. The green dots are the locations of super giant shells given by Book et al. (2008). The cyan dots are the location of major star-forming regions 30 Dor and N11. The magenta lines are the approximate location of the bar. The magenta hexagon is the optical center of the LMC.
