Given a graph G with n vertices and a set S of n points in the plane, a point-set embedding of G on S is a planar drawing such that each vertex of G is mapped to a distinct point of S. A geometric point-set embedding is a point-set embedding with no edge bends. This paper studies the following problem: The input is a set S of n points, a planar graph G with n vertices, and a geometric point-set embedding of a subgraph G′ ⊂ G on a subset of S. The desired output is a point-set embedding of G on S that includes the given partial drawing of G′. We concentrate on trees and show how to compute the output in O(n 2 logn) time and with at most 1 + 2 ⌈k/2⌉ bends per edge, where k is the number of vertices of the given subdrawing. We also prove that there are instances of the problem which require at least k − 3 bends for some of the edges.

Abstract
Given a graph G with n vertices and a set S of n points in the plane, a point-set embedding of G on S is a planar drawing such that each vertex of G is mapped to a distinct point of S. A geometric point-set embedding is a point-set embedding with no edge bends. This paper studies the following problem: The input is a set S of n points, a planar graph G with n vertices, and a geometric point-set embedding of a subgraph G′ ⊂ G on a subset of S. The desired output is a point-set embedding of G on S that includes the given partial drawing of G′. We concentrate on trees and show how to compute the output in O(n 2 logn) time and with at most 1 + 2 ⌈k/2⌉ bends per edge, where k is the number of vertices of the given subdrawing. We also prove that there are instances of the problem which require at least k − 3 bends for some of the edges.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
