We explore several problems related to ruled polygons. Given a ruling of a polygon P , we consider the Reeb graph of P induced by the ruling. We define the Reeb complexity of P , which roughly equates to the minimum number of points necessary to support P . We give asymptotically tight bounds on the Reeb complexity that are also tight up to a small additive constant. When restricted to the set ...
