Test of the inertia tensor method for estimating the bar angle (top panel) and the b/a axis ratio (bottom panel) for our simulated dataset. The solid black lines represent the simulated, unrestricted view of the Galactic bar for different values of $R_{\text{cyl}}^{\text{lim}}$. The solid color-coded lines show measurements for different $R_{\text{cyl}}^{\text{lim}}$ in the cone view of the Galactic bar. The dashed green line indicates the selected value of $R_{\text{cyl}}^{\text{lim}}=1.75$ kpc used in our observational dataset. The dotted black line in both panels denotes the true value of the bar angle and axis ratio set for the ellipsoidal distribution.
