Graphs with large total angular resolution

The total angular resolution of a straight-line drawing is the minimum angle between two edges of the drawing. It combines two properties contributing to the readability of a drawing: the angular resolution, which is the minimum angle between incident edges, and the crossing resolution, which is the...

Descripción
Sumario:The total angular resolution of a straight-line drawing is the minimum angle between two edges of the drawing. It combines two properties contributing to the readability of a drawing: the angular resolution, which is the minimum angle between incident edges, and the crossing resolution, which is the minimum angle between crossing edges. We consider the total angular resolution of a graph, which is the maximum total angular resolution of a straight-line drawing of this graph. We prove tight bounds for the number of edges for graphs for some values of the total angular resolution up to a finite number of well specified exceptions of constant size. In addition, we show that deciding whether a graph has total angular resolution at least is NP-hard. Further we present some special graphs and their total angular resolution.
