Abstract

A monotone drawing of a graph G is a straight-line drawing of G such that, for every pair of vertices u,w in G, there exists a path Puw in G that is monotone on some line luw. (Namely, the order of the orthogonal projections of the vertices in Puw on luw is the same as the order they appear in Puw.) In this paper, we show that the classical Schnyder drawing of 3-connected plane graphs is a monotone drawing on a grid of size f × f (f ≤ 2n−5 is the number of internal faces of G), which can be constructed in O(n) time. It also has the advantage that, for any given vertices u,w, the monotone line luw can be identified in O(1) time.
