Graphs that Admit Right Angle Crossing Drawings
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider right angle crossing (RAC) drawings of graphs in which the edges are represented by polygonal arcs and any two edges can cross only at a right angle. We show that if a graph with n vertices admits a RAC drawing with at most 1 bend or 2 bends per edge, then the number of edges is at most 6.5n and 74.2n, respectively. This is a strengthening of a recent result of Didimo et al.

Graphs That Admit Polyline Drawings with Few Crossing Angles
We consider graphs that admit polyline drawings where all crossings occur at the same angle α ∈ (0, π2 ]. We prove that every graph on n vertices that admits such a polyline drawing with at most two bends per edge has O(n) edges. This result remains true when each crossing occurs at an angle from a small set of angles. We also provide several extensions that might be of independent interest.

متن کاملSchool of Information Technologies Circular Graph Drawings with Large Crossing Angles
This paper is motivated by empirical research that has shown that increasing the angle of edge crossings reduces the negative effect of crossings on human readability. We investigate circular graph drawings (where each vertex lies on a circle) with large crossing angles. In particular, we consider the case of right angle crossing (RAC) drawings, where each crossing angle is π/2. We characterize...
متن کاملNIC-Planar Graphs
A graph is NIC-planar if it admits a drawing in the plane with at most one crossing per edge and such that two pairs of crossing edges share at most one common end vertex. NIC-planarity generalizes IC-planarity, which allows a vertex to be incident to at most one crossing edge, and specializes 1-planarity, which only requires at most one crossing per edge. We characterize embeddings of maximal ...
متن کاملOn the Perspectives Opened by Right Angle Crossing Drawings
Right Angle Crossing (RAC) drawings are polyline drawings where each crossing forms four right angles. RAC drawings have been introduced because cognitive experiments provided evidence that increasing the number of crossings does not decrease the readability of a drawing if edges cross at right angles. We investigate to what extent RAC drawings can help in overcoming the limitations of widely a...
