Beyond Degree Four: Near-Orthogonal Planar Drawings
Patrizio Angelini, Sabine Cornelsen, Giordano Da Lozzo +2
Orthogonal planar drawings constitute a classical and mainstream research topic in graph drawing due to their clarity and wide applicability. In an orthogonal planar drawing of a g…
Upward-Planar Drawings with Bounded Span
Patrizio Angelini, Sabine Cornelsen, Giordano Da Lozzo +4
We consider upward-planar layered drawings of directed graphs, i.e., crossing-free drawings in which each edge is drawn as a y-monotone curve going upward from its tail to its head…
Grounded String Representations of Series-Parallel Graphs without Transitive Edges
Sabine Cornelsen, Jan KratochvÃl, Miriam Münch +3
In a {\em grounded string representation} of a graph there is a horizontal line and each vertex is represented as a simple curve below with one end point on su…
Hypergraphs as Metro Maps: Drawing Paths with Few Bends in Trees, Cacti, and Plane 4-Graphs
Sabine Cornelsen, Henry Förster, Siddharth Gupta +2
A hypergraph consists of a set of vertices and a set of subsets of vertices, called hyperedges. In the metro map metaphor, each hyperedge is represented by a path (the metro line)…
Planar Stories of Graph Drawings: Algorithms and Experiments
Carla Binucci, Sabine Cornelsen, Walter Didimo +5
We address the problem of computing a dynamic visualization of a geometric graph as a sequence of frames. Each frame shows only a portion of the graph but their union covers $G…
The Price of Upwardness
Patrizio Angelini, Therese Biedl, Markus Chimani +8
Not every directed acyclic graph (DAG) whose underlying undirected graph is planar admits an upward planar drawing. We are interested in pushing the notion of upward drawings beyon…
