3D Straight-line Drawings of k-trees

چکیده
This paper studies the problem of computing 3D crossing-free straight-line grid drawings of graphs such that the overall volume is small. We show that every 2-tree (and therefore every series-parallel graph) can be drawn on an integer 3D grid consisting of 15 parallel lines and having linear volume. We extend the study to the problem of drawing general k-trees on a set of parallel grid lines. Lower bounds and upper bounds on the number of such grid lines are presented. The results in this paper extend and improve similar ones already described in the literature.

Straight - Line Drawings on Restricted
This paper investigates the following question: Given an integer grid , where is a proper subset of the integer plane or a proper subset of the integer 3d space, which graphs admit straight-line crossing-free drawings with vertices located at the grid points of ? We characterize the trees that can be drawn on a two dimensional c n k grid, where k and c are given integer constants, and on a two ...
متن کاملComputing straight-line 3D grid drawings of graphs in linear volume
This paper investigates the basic problem of computing crossing-free straight-line 3D grid drawings of graphs such that the overall volume is small. Motivated by their relevance in the literature, we focus on families of graphs having constant queue number and on k-trees. We present algorithms that compute drawings of these families of graphs on 3D grids consisting of a constant number of paral...
متن کاملArea-eecient Algorithms for Upward Straight-line Tree Drawings ?
In this paper, we investigate planar upward straight-line grid drawing problems for bounded-degree rooted trees so that a drawing takes up as little area as possible. A planar upward straight-line grid tree drawing satisses the following four constraints: (1) all vertices are placed at distinct grid points (grid), (2) all edges are drawn as straight lines (straight-line), (3) no two edges in th...
متن کاملStraight Line Orthogonal Drawings of Complete Ternery Trees
In this paper we study embeddings of complete ternary trees in a 2-D lattice. Suppose we are given an n-node complete ternary tree Tn with height h. We can construct an embedding of Th on a 2-D lattice L so that every node in Th corresponds to a vertex in L, and every edge in Th corresponds to a horizontal or vertical path in the lattice. We provide a better upper bound on the area requirement ...
متن کاملTree Drawings on the Hexagonal Grid
We consider straight-line drawings of trees on a hexagonal grid. The hexagonal grid is an extension of the common grid with inner nodes of degree six. We restrict the number of directions used for the edges from each node to its children from one to five, and to five patterns: straight, Y , ψ, X, and full. The ψ–drawings generalize hvor strictly upward drawings to ternary trees. We show that co...
