Do galactic bars drive the formation of inner/outer rings and spiral arms?
We study the pitch angles of spiral arms and the frequency and dimensions of inner and outer rings as a function of disk parameters and the amplitude of non-axisymmetries in the S 4G survey. We provide observational evidence for i) the role of strong bars in ring formation/evolution and ii) the dependence between bar and spiral strengths. Yet, the
