Geometric RAC Simultaneous Drawings of Graphs
Vol. 17, no. 1, pp. 11-34, 2013. Regular paper.
Abstract In this paper, we study the geometric RAC simultaneous drawing
problem: Given two planar graphs that share a common vertex set, a
geometric RAC simultaneous drawing is a straight-line drawing in
which each graph is drawn planar, there are no edge overlaps, and,
crossings between edges of the two graphs occur at right angles. We
first prove that two planar graphs admitting a geometric
simultaneous drawing may not admit a geometric RAC simultaneous
drawing. We further show that a cycle and a matching always admit a
geometric RAC simultaneous drawing.
We also study a closely related problem according to which we are
given a planar embedded graph $G$ and the main goal is to determine
a geometric drawing of $G$ and its weak dual $G^*$ such that:
(i) $G$ and $G^*$ are drawn planar, (ii) each vertex of the dual is
drawn inside its corresponding face of $G$ and, (iii) the
primal-dual edge crossings form right angles. We prove that it is
always possible to construct such a drawing if the input graph is an
outerplanar embedded graph
