Snapshots of the simulation with a) B/D = 0.01 and b) with B/D = 0.08 are viewed at azimuthal angle φ = 90°, from five galaxy inclinations (i = 90° corresponds the side-on view of the bar). The line-of-node is horizontal. The left panels show the synthetic images, in the middle panel the isophotal contours, separated by 0.5 mags, are overlaid on the images, while the right panels show the unsharp mask images.
