Figure 8
Collagen orientation polar plot. The aligned collagen scatter (from fibrils preferentially oriented over and above any underlying randomly oriented collagen) is represented as a polar vector plot. The length of a vector from the plot centre to edge in any direction is proportional to the relative number of collagen fibrils preferentially oriented at that angle. In this example the orientation distribution of the fibrils is approximately orthogonal bimodal.
