No-bend Orthogonal Drawings of Series-Parallel Graphs

چکیده
In a no-bend orthogonal drawing of a plane graph, each vertex is drawn as a point and each edge is drawn as a single horizontal or vertical line segment. A planar graph is said to have a no-bend orthogonal drawing if at least one of its plane embeddings has a no-bend orthogonal drawing. Every series-parallel graph is planar. In this paper we give a linear-time algorithm to examine whether a series-parallel graph G of the maximum degree three has a no-bend orthogonal drawing and to find one if G has.

Capturing Lombardi Flow in Orthogonal Drawings by Minimizing the Number of Segments
Inspired by the artwork of Mark Lombardi, we study the problem of constructing orthogonal drawings where a small number of horizontal and vertical line segments covers all vertices. We study two problems on orthogonal drawings of planar graphs, one that minimizes the total number of line segments and another that minimizes the number of line segments that cover all the vertices. We show that th...
متن کاملHigher-Degree Orthogonal Graph Drawing with Flexibility Constraints
Much work on orthogonal graph drawing has focused on 4-planar graphs, that is planar graphs where all vertices have maximum degree 4. In this work, we study aspects of the Kandinsky model, which is a model for orthogonal graph drawings of higher-degree graphs. First, we examine the decision problem β-Embeddability, which asks whether for a given planar graph with a fixed or variable embedding, ...
متن کاملSpirality and Optimal Orthogonal Drawings
We deal with the problem of constructing the orthogonal drawing of a graph with the minimum number of bends along the edges. The problem has been recently shown to be NPcomplete in the general case. In this paper we introduce and study the new concept of spirality, which is a measure of how an orthogonal drawing is “rolled up,” and develop a theory on the interplay between spirality and number ...
متن کاملBend-optimal orthogonal graph drawing in the general position model
We consider orthogonal drawings in the general position model, i.e., no two points share a coordinate. The drawings are also required to be bend minimal, i.e., each edge of a drawing in k dimensions has exactly one segment parallel to each coodinate direction that are glued together at k − 1 bends. We provide a precise description of the class of graphs that admit an orthogonal drawing in the g...
متن کاملTwo-Bend Three-Dimensional Orthogonal Grid Drawing of Maximum Degree Five Graphs
Some recent algorithms for 3-dimensional orthogonal graph drawing use no more than 3 bends per edge route. It is unknown if there exists a graph requiring a 3-bend edge route. In this paper we present an algorithm for 2-bend 3-dimensional orthogonal grid drawing of maximum degree 5 graphs. In addition 2-bend 3-dimensional grid drawings of the 6-regular multi-partite graphs are given.
