Let Γ be a straight-line drawing of a graph and let u and v be two vertices of Γ . The Gabriel disk of u, v is the disk having u and v as antipodal points. A pair (cid:104) Γ 0 , Γ 1 (cid:105) of vertex-disjoint straight-line drawings form a mutual witness Gabriel drawing when, for i = 0 , 1, any two vertices u and v of Γ i are adjacent if and only if their Gabriel disk does not contain any vertex of Γ 1 − i . We characterize the pairs (cid:104) G 0 , G 1 (cid:105) of complete bipartite graphs that admit a mutual witness Gabriel drawing. The characterization leads to a linear time testing algorithm. We also show that when at least one of the graphs in the pair (cid:104) G 0 , G 1 (cid:105) is complete k -partite with k > 2 and all partition sets in the two graphs have size greater than one, the pair does not admit a mutual witness Gabriel drawing.","PeriodicalId":159831,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124672772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simple drawings are drawings of graphs in which two edges have at most one common point (either a common endpoint, or a proper crossing). It has been an open question whether every simple drawing of a complete bipartite graph K m,n contains a plane spanning tree as a subdrawing. We answer this question to the positive by showing that for every simple drawing of K m,n and for every vertex v in that drawing, the drawing contains a shooting star rooted at v , that is, a plane spanning tree containing all edges incident to v .","PeriodicalId":159831,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114278529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method uses a generalization of the Euclidean stress function for Multi-Dimensional Scaling adapted to spherical space, where geodesic pairwise distances are employed instead of Euclidean distances. The resulting spherical stress function is optimized by means of stochastic gradient descent. Quantitative and qualitative evaluations demon-strate the scalability and effectiveness of the proposed method. We also show that some graph families can be embedded with lower distortion on the sphere, than in Euclidean and hyperbolic spaces.","PeriodicalId":159831,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127991007","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

At a high level, given a data structure, the goal is to find a linear order of the vertices of the graph and a partition of its edges into pages, such that the edges in each page follow the restriction of the given data structure in the underlying order. In this regard, the most notable representatives are the stack and queue layouts, while there exists some work also for deques. In this paper, we study linear layouts of graphs that follow the restriction of a restricted-input queue (rique), in which insertions occur only at the head, and removals occur both at the head and the tail. We characterize the graphs admitting rique layouts with a single page and we use the characterization to derive a corresponding testing algorithm when the input graph is maximal planar.

In this paper, we present the first study for shape-faithful drawings of general graphs. First, we conduct extensive comparison experiments for popular graph layouts using the shape-based metrics, and examine the properties of highly shape-faithful drawings. Then, we present ShFR and ShSM, algorithms for shape-faithful drawings based on force-directed and stress-based algorithms, by introducing new proximity forces/stress. Experiments show that ShFR and ShSM obtain significant improvement over FR (Fruchterman-Reingold) and SM (Stress Majorization), on average 12% and 35% respectively, on shape-based metrics.","PeriodicalId":159831,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114708602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A rectangular drawing of a planar graph G is a planar drawing of G in which vertices are mapped to grid points, edges are mapped to horizontal and vertical straight-line segments, and faces are drawn as rectangles. Sometimes this latter constraint is relaxed for the outer face. In this paper, we study rectangular drawings in which the edges have unit length. We show a complexity dichotomy for the problem of deciding the existence of a unit-length rectangular drawing, depending on whether the outer face must also be drawn as a rectangle or not. Specifically, we prove that the problem is NP -complete for biconnected graphs when the drawing of the outer face is not required to be a rectangle, even if the sought drawing must respect a given planar embedding, whereas it is polynomial-time solvable, both in the fixed and the variable embedding settings, if the outer face is required to be drawn as a rectangle.","PeriodicalId":159831,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115181308","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a graph story the vertices enter a graph one at a time and each vertex persists in the graph for a fixed amount of time ω , called viewing window. At any time, the user can see only the drawing of the graph induced by the vertices in the viewing window and this determines a sequence of drawings. For readability, we require that all the drawings of the sequence are planar. For preserving the user’s mental map we require that when a vertex or an edge is drawn, it has the same drawing for its entire life. We study the problem of drawing the entire sequence by mapping the vertices only to ω + k given points, where k is as small as possible. We show that: ( i ) The problem does not depend on the specific set of points but only on its size; ( ii ) the problem is NP -hard and is FPT when parameterized by ω + k ; ( iii ) there are families of graph stories that can be drawn with k = 0 for any ω , while for k = 0 and small values of ω there are families of graph stories that can be drawn and others that cannot; ( iv ) there are families of graph stories that cannot be drawn for any fixed k and families of graph stories that require at least a certain k .","PeriodicalId":159831,"journal":{"name":"International Symposium Graph Drawing and Network Visualization","volume":"269 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129902561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We conduct a study where we assess the participants' response times, accuracy, and preferences for different combinations of the graph's structural and temporal representations on typical dynamic network exploration tasks, with and without support of common interaction methods. Our results suggest that matrices provide better support for tasks on lower-level entities and basic interactions require longer response times while increasing accuracy.
