Twist is a parameter to measure turning of the field lines around axis of the flux tube. Observations show that each active region (AR) has a pronounced overall twist, following hemispheric helicity rule (Pevtsov et al. 1995; Bao & Zhang 1998). etbest, best-fit single value for a whole AR, is used to characterize the overall twist. Writhe is a measure of the spatial turning of the axis of the f...
