Example of a CME (from 7 January 2014) fitted in the solar corona using the cone and croissant models. The top row (a–c) shows white-light data from three viewpoints (Earth/SOHO, STEREO-A, and STEREO-B), the middle row (d–f) shows the same set of data with the cone wireframe (in green) overlaid, and the bottom row (g–i) shows the same set of data with the croissant wireframe (in magenta) overlaid. Both sets of reconstructions were performed using the GCS model, with the difference that for the cone case the so-called half-width parameter (quantifying the half-angular separation between the CME legs) was set to zero.
