Straight-line monotone grid drawings of series-parallel graphs. (English) Zbl 1331.68153

Summary: A monotone drawing of a planar graph \(G\) is a planar straight-line drawing of \(G\) where a monotone path exists between every pair of vertices of \(G\) in some direction. Recently monotone drawings of graphs have been discovered as a new standard for visualizing graphs. In this paper we study monotone drawings of series-parallel graphs in a variable embedding setting. We show that a series-parallel graph of \(n\) vertices has a straight-line planar monotone drawing on a grid of size \(O(n) \times O(n^{2})\) and such a drawing can be found in linear time.
