Specific examples of the construction of a single-cell order parameter. The value shown in the inset is the magnitude of the order parameter of the seed cell highlighted by an orange boundary. The cell colour and arrows indicate the magnitude and phase of the single-cell order parameters, respectively (colour bar at the bottom right). The colour and thickness of the bonds between the seed cell and its neighbours indicate the relative weight with which each bond contributes to the sum defining the order parameter (colour bar at the left): a highly ordered cell
