/ Abstract

We have analyzed the behaviour of various parameters of PNe in the Magellanic Clouds (MCs) and the Galaxy as a function of their morphology. The luminosity function of different morphological types has been built, finding that elliptical and round PNe dominate the bright cutoff both in the MCs and in the Galaxy. The dependence of the [OIII] absolute magnitude on chemical abundances has been investigated.
