Compact Drawings of 1-Planar Graphs with Right-Angle Crossings and Few Bends
We study the following classes of beyond-planar graphs: 1-planar, IC-planar,
and NIC-planar graphs. These are the graphs that admit a 1-planar, IC-planar,
and NIC-planar drawing, respectively. A drawing of a graph is 1-planar if every
edge is crossed at most once. A 1-planar drawing is IC-planar if no two pairs
of crossing edges share a vertex. A 1-planar drawing is NIC-planar if no two
pairs of crossing edges share two vertices. We study the relations of these
beyond-planar graph classes (beyond-planar graphs is a collective term for the
primary attempts to generalize the planar graphs) to right-angle crossing (RAC)
graphs that admit compact drawings on the grid with few bends. We present four
drawing algorithms that preserve the given embeddings. First, we show that
every -vertex NIC-planar graph admits a NIC-planar RAC drawing with at most
one bend per edge on a grid of size . Then, we show that
every -vertex 1-planar graph admits a 1-planar RAC drawing with at most two
bends per edge on a grid of size . Finally, we make two
known algorithms embedding-preserving; for drawing 1-planar RAC graphs with at
most one bend per edge and for drawing IC-planar RAC graphs straight-line
L-Visibility Drawings of IC-planar Graphs
An IC-plane graph is a topological graph where every edge is crossed at most
once and no two crossed edges share a vertex. We show that every IC-plane graph
has a visibility drawing where every vertex is an L-shape, and every edge is
either a horizontal or vertical segment. As a byproduct of our drawing
technique, we prove that an IC-plane graph has a RAC drawing in quadratic area
with at most two bends per edge
Re-embedding a 1-Plane Graph into a Straight-line Drawing in Linear Time
Thomassen characterized some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden configuration
such that a given 1-plane embedding of a graph is drawable in straight-lines if
and only if it does not contain the configuration [C. Thomassen, Rectilinear
drawings of graphs, J. Graph Theory, 10(3), 335-341, 1988].
In this paper, we characterize some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden
configuration such that a given 1-plane embedding of a graph can be re-embedded
into a straight-line drawable 1-plane embedding of the same graph if and only
if it does not contain the configuration. Re-embedding of a 1-plane embedding
preserves the same set of pairs of crossing edges.
We give a linear-time algorithm for finding a straight-line drawable 1-plane
re-embedding or the forbidden configuration.Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on
