    AbstractWe show an algorithm for constructing O(dnlogn) area outerplanar straight-line drawings of n-vertex outerplanar graphs with degree d. Also, we settle in the negative a conjecture (Biedl, 2002 [1]) on the area requirements of outerplanar graphs by showing that snowflake graphs admit linear-area drawings

    Every Collinear Set in a Planar Graph is Free

    We show that if a planar graph G has a plane straight-line drawing in which a subset S of its vertices are collinear, then for any set of points, X, in the plane with |X| = |S|, there is a plane straight-line drawing of G in which the vertices in S are mapped to the points in X. This solves an open problem posed by Ravsky and Verbitsky (in: Proceedings of the 37th International Workshop on Graph-Theoretic Concepts in Computer Science, arXiv:0806.0253). In their terminology, we show that every collinear set is free.This result has applications in graph drawing, including untangling, column planarity, universal point subsets, and partial simultaneous drawings
