The analysis of the internal structure of star clusters can provide us important information abouttheir formation and dynamic evolution. Using data from the VISCACHA survey, we studied the spatialdistribution of the stars in clusters located at the peripheries of the Large Magellanic Cloud and theSmall Magellanic Cloud. We characterized their internal structure through the construction of thecorresponding minimum spanning trees. In each case, we used m, s and Q parameters to distinguishbetween radial symmetry, homogeneous or substructured distributions. The dependence of theobtained parameters with field stellar contamination and with the different characteristics of theclusters, such as their dynamical ages and spatial distribution, was also investigated.
