Drawing Simultaneously Embedded Graphs with Few Bends
No full textWe study the problem of drawing simultaneously embedded graphs with few bends. We show that for any simultaneous embedding with fixed edges (Sefe) of two graphs, there exists a corresponding drawing realizing this embedding such that common edges are drawn as straight-line segments and each exclusive edge has a constant number of bends. If the common graph is biconnected and induced, a straight-line drawing exists. This yields the first efficient testing algorithm for simultaneous geometric embedding (Sge) for a non-trivial class of graphs
On the Recognition of Fan-Planar and Maximal Outer-Fan-Planar Graphs
No full textFan-planar graphs were recently introduced as a generalization of 1-planar graphs. A graph is fan-planar if it can be embedded in the plane, such that each edge that is crossed more than once, is crossed by a bundle of two or more edges incident to a common vertex. A graph is outer-fan-planar if it has a fan-planar embedding in which every vertex is on the outer face. If, in addition, the insertion of an edge destroys its outer-fan-planarity, then it is maximal outer-fan-planar.
In this paper, we present a polynomial-time algorithm to test whether a given graph is maximal outer-fan-planar. The algorithm can also be employed to produce an outer-fan-planar embedding, if one exists. On the negative side, we show that testing fan-planarity of a graph is NP-hard, for the case where the rotation system (i.e., the cyclic order of the edges around each vertex) is given
Disjoint Edges in Topological Graphs and the Tangled-Thrackle Conjecture
No full textIt is shown that for a constant t ∈ ℕ, every simple topological graph on n vertices has O(n) edges if the graph has no two sets of t edges such that every edge in one set is disjoint from all edges of the other set (i.e., the complement of the intersection graph of the edges is K t,t -free). As an application, we settle the tangled-thrackle conjecture formulated by Pach, Radoičić, and Tóth: Every n-vertex graph drawn in the plane such that every pair of edges have precisely one point in common, where this point is either a common endpoint, a crossing, or a point of tangency, has at most O(n) edges
Stress-Minimizing Orthogonal Layout of Data Flow Diagrams with Ports
No full textWe present a fundamentally different approach to orthogonal layout of data flow diagrams with ports. This is based on extending constrained stress majorization to cater for ports and flow layout. Because we are minimizing stress we are able to better display global structure, as measured by several criteria such as stress, edge-length variance, and aspect ratio. Compared to the layered approach, our layouts tend to exhibit symmetries, and eliminate inter-layer whitespace, making the diagrams more compact
Drawing Graphs within Restricted Area
No full textWe study the problem of selecting a maximum-weight subgraph of a given graph such that the subgraph can be drawn within a prescribed drawing area subject to given non-uniform vertex sizes. We develop and analyze heuristics both for the general (undirected) case and for the use case of (directed) calculation graphs which are used to analyze the typical mistakes that high school students make when transforming mathematical expressions in the process of calculating, for example, sums of fractions
A New Perspective on Clustered Planarity as a Combinatorial Embedding Problem
No full textThe clustered planarity problem (c-planarity) asks whether a hierarchically clustered graph admits a planar drawing such that the clusters can be nicely represented by regions. We introduce the cd-tree data structure and give a new characterization of c-planarity. It leads to efficient algorithms for c-planarity testing in the following cases. (i) Every cluster and every co-cluster has at most two connected components. (ii) Every cluster has at most five outgoing edges.
Moreover, the cd-tree reveals interesting connections between c-planarity and planarity with constraints on the order of edges around vertices. On one hand, this gives rise to a bunch of new open problems related to c-planarity, on the other hand it provides a new perspective on previous results
