N-body simulations for stars in bar potentials have demonstrated over the last couple of years (e.g., Combes et al. 1990; Raha et al. 1991) that bars growing in z will lead to the presence of a bulge component. In such a scenario a central “bulge” component could develop as a resonance phenomenon caused by a bar and would be distinctly different from any “spheroidal” or “halo” component.
