Straightening out planar poly-line drawings
[article]
2014
arXiv
pre-print
We show that any y-monotone poly-line drawing can be straightened out while maintaining y-coordinates and height. The width may increase much, but we also show that on some graphs exponential width is required if we do not want to increase the height. Likewise y-monotonicity is required: there are poly-line drawings (not y-monotone) that cannot be straightened out while maintaining the height. We give some applications of our result.
