Level-Planar Drawings with Few Slopes
Abstrak
We introduce and study level-planar straight-line drawings with a fixed number $λ$ of slopes. For proper level graphs, we give an $O(n \log^2 n / \log \log n)$-time algorithm that either finds such a drawing or determines that no such drawing exists. Moreover, we consider the partial drawing extension problem, where we seek to extend an immutable drawing of a subgraph to a drawing of the whole graph, and the simultaneous drawing problem, which asks about the existence of drawings of two graphs whose restrictions to their shared subgraph coincide. We present $O(n^{4/3} \log n)$-time and $O(λ n^{10/3} \log n)$-time algorithms for these respective problems on proper level-planar graphs. We complement these positive results by showing that testing whether non-proper level graphs admit level-planar drawings with $λ$ slopes is $\textsf{NP}$-hard even in restricted cases.
