Abstract
We present theoretical infrared images for Be star disks as projected on the plane of the sky. These images span a range of Be star spectral types and a wide range of disk properties and viewing inclinations. We extract the sizes of these disks at different IR wavelengths. As a test of these images, we compare our calculated disk sizes with available interferometric observations of the Be stars α Ara and ζ Tau. We use our calculated disk sizes and the observations to constrain the disk parameters of these stars.
