Abstract
The variety of different morphologies of planetary nebulae (PNs) have always fascinated researchers in the field. Recent progress in CCD imaging techniques has resulted in a large number of homogeneous optical images of more than a few hundreds PNs (Balick 1987, Schwarz, Corradi and Melnick 1992). In addition, two major radio surveys using the Very Large Array (VLA) by Aaquist and Kwok (1990, 1991) and by Zijstra, Pottasch and Bignell (1989) have revealed detailed morphologies in the radio, including many compact star-like PNs. This treasure of data sets contains useful information about morphologies, density distributions, formation and evolution of PNs, yet to be fully explored.
