Abstract In order to have a compact visualization of the order type of
a given point set $S$,
we are interested in geometric graphs on $S$ with few edges that unambiguously display
the order type of $S$.
We introduce the concept of exit edges,
which prevent the order type from changing under continuous motion of vertices.
That is,
in the geometric graph on $S$ whose edges are the exit edges,
in order to change the order type of $S$, at least one vertex needs to move across an
exit edge.
Exit edges have a natural dual characterization,
which allows us to efficiently compute them and to bound their number.
