## Abstract In this paper we give a construction that produces exactly those graphs having maximum rectilinear crossing number equal to the subthrackle bound. We then prove a theorem characterizing these graphs in terms of proper circularβarc graphs. Β© 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

β¦ Synopsis
We consider graphs drawn in the plane such that every edge crosses at most one other edge. We characterize, in terms of two forbidden subconfigurations, which of these graphs are equivalent to drawings such that all edges are straight line segments. As a consequence we obtain a complete characterization of the pairs of dual graphs that can be represented as geometric dual graphs such that all edges except one are straight line segments.

## Abstract Let __G__ be a graph drawn in the plane so that its edges are represented by __x__βmonotone curves, any pair of which cross an even number of times. We show that __G__ can be redrawn in such a way that the __x__βcoordinates of the vertices remain unchanged and the edges become nonβcross
In this paper we introduce a new drawing style of a plane graph G called a box-rectangular drawing. It is defined to be a drawing of G on an integer grid such that every vertex is drawn as a rectangle, called a box, each edge is drawn as either a horizontal line segment or a vertical line segment, a
A simple algorithm for drawing 3-connected planar graphs is presented. It is derived from the Fruchterman and Reingold spring embedding algorithm by deleting all repulsive forces and fixing vertices of an outer face. The algorithm is implemented in the system for manipulating discrete mathematical s
