Examples of cell nuclei and cytoplasm shapes. Figures (a, c) show polygons without any randomness for k=10 for the (a) stromal and (c) epithelial cells. Figures (b, d) show the corresponding shapes with dislocated vertices after spline interpolation [21]. Figures (e) and (g) show randomised polygons initialised as circles for k=5 and k=20, respectively. Figures (f) and (g) show the corresponding shapes after spline interpolation. Here α=0.2,β=0.05, μ l =2μ w and the major axis is shown in the horizontal direction
