Average asphericity, b, acylindricity, c, and relative shape anisotropy, k2, as a function of MC steps from simulations of freely-jointed chains of tangent hard spheres (N = 12 with uniform distribution of chain lengths) at ϕ = 0.61. Global shape measures are averaged over all 1200 coarse-grained ellipsoids, each one having semi-axes as obtained from the eigenvalues of the moment of inertia tensor of the corresponding Voronoi polyhedron.
