Linear Axis for Planar Straight Line Graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
A linear axis is a straight line skeleton for a polygonal shape. The concept of a linear axis ε-equivalent to the medial axis has been introduced and studied for simple polygons and for those with holes. In this paper, we generalize the notions of a linear axis and of ε-equivalence to the case of planar straight line graphs. We show that for some graphs, a linear axis ε-equivalent to the medial axis does not exist, for any ε > 0. However, if the graph vertices are in general position, a sought linear axis does exist for any ε > 0, and can be computed in O(n log n) time in the absence of certain correlations in the graph structure.

Straight-Line Drawability of a Planar Graph Plus an Edge
We investigate straight-line drawings of topological graphs that consist of a planar graph plus one edge, also called almost-planar graphs. We present a characterization of such graphs that admit a straight-line drawing. The characterization enables a linear-time testing algorithm to determine whether an almostplanar graph admits a straight-line drawing, and a linear-time drawing algorithm that...
متن کاملOn a Class of Planar Graphs with Straight-Line Grid Drawings on Linear Area
A straight-line grid drawing of a planar graph G is a drawing of G on an integer grid such that each vertex is drawn as a grid point and each edge is drawn as a straight-line segment without edge crossings. It is well known that a planar graph of n vertices admits a straight-line grid drawing on a grid of area O(n). A lower bound of Ω(n) on the area-requirement for straight-line grid drawings o...

We investigate the problem of constructing planar straight-line drawings of graphs with large angles between the edges. Namely, we study the angular resolution of planar straight-line drawings, deened as the smallest angle formed by two incident edges. We prove the rst nontrivial upper bound on the angular resolution of planar straight-line drawings, and show a continuous trade-oo between the a...
متن کاملStraight-line Drawings of 1-planar Graphs
The classical Fáry’s theorem from the 1930s states that every planar graph can be drawn as a straight-line drawing. In this paper, we extend Fáry’s theorem to non-planar graphs. More specifically, we study the problem of drawing 1-planar graphs with straight-line edges. A 1-planar graph is a sparse non-planar graph with at most one crossing per edge. We give a characterisation of those 1planar ...
