  • Closed Rectangle-of-influence drawings for irreducible triangulations
    Computational Geometry, 2011
    Co-Authors: Sadish Sadasivam, Huaming Zhang
    Abstract:

    A (weak) Closed Rectangle-of-influence (RI for short) drawing is a straight-line planar grid drawing in which there is no other vertex inside or on the boundary of the axis parallel Rectangle defined by the two end vertices of any edge. Biedl et al. (1999) [1] showed that a plane graph G has a Closed RI drawing, if and only if it has no filled 3-cycle (a cycle of 3 vertices such that there is a vertex in the proper interior). They also showed that such a graph G has a Closed RI drawing in an (n-1)x(n-1) grid, where n is the number of vertices in G. They raised an open question on whether this grid size bound can be improved (Biedl et al., 1999 [1]). Without loss of generality, we investigate maximal plane graphs admitting Closed RI drawings in this paper. They are plane graphs with a quadrangular exterior face, triangular interior faces and no filled 3-cycles, known as irreducible triangulations (Fusy, 2009 [2]). In this paper, we present a linear time algorithm that computes Closed RI drawings for irreducible triangulations. Given an arbitrary irreducible triangulation G with n vertices, our algorithm produces a Closed RI drawing with size at most (n-3)x(n-3); and for a random irreducible triangulation, the expected grid size of the drawing is (22n27+O(n))x(22n27+O(n)). We then prove that for arbitrary n>=4, there is an n-vertex irreducible triangulation, such that any of its Closed RI drawing requires a grid of size (n-3)x(n-3). Thus the grid size of the drawing produced by our algorithm is tight. This lower bound also answers the open question posed in Biedl et al. (1999) [1] negatively.

  • 4-labelings and grid embeddings of plane quadrangulations
    Discrete Mathematics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Lali Barrière, Clemens Huemer
    Abstract:

    A straight-line drawing of a planar graph G is a Closed Rectangle-of-influence drawing if for each edge uv, the Closed axis-parallel Rectangle with opposite corners u and v contains no other vertices. We show that each quadrangulation on n vertices has a Closed Rectangle-of-influence drawing on the (n-3)x(n-3) grid. The algorithm is based on angle labeling and simple face counting in regions. This answers the question of what would be a grid embedding of quadrangulations analogous to Schnyder's classical algorithm for embedding triangulations and extends previous results on book embeddings for quadrangulations from Felsner, Huemer, Kappes, and Orden. A further compaction step yields a straight-line drawing of a quadrangulation on the (@[email protected]?-1)x(@[email protected]?-1) grid. The advantage over other existing algorithms is that it is not necessary to add edges to the quadrangulation to make it 4-connected.

  • Graph Drawing - 4-Labelings and grid embeddings of plane quadrangulations
    Graph Drawing, 2010
    Co-Authors: Lali Barrière, Clemens Huemer
    Abstract:

    Finding aesthetic drawings of planar graphs is a main issue in graph drawing. Of special interest are Rectangle of influence drawings.The graphs considered here are quadrangulations, that is, planar graphs all whose faces have degree four.We show that each quadrangulation on n vertices has a Closed Rectangle of influence drawing on the (n - 2) × (n - 2) grid. Biedl, Bretscher and Meijer [2] proved that every planar graph on n vertices without separating triangle has a Closed Rectangle of influence drawing on the (n - 1) × (n - 1) grid.Our method, which is completely different from that of [2], is in analogy to Schnyder's algorithm for embedding triangulations on an integer grid [9] and gives a simple algorithm.
