Drawing Halin-graphs with small height
Vol. 26, no. 4, pp. 473-502, 2022. Regular paper.
Abstract In this paper, we study how to draw Halin-graphs, i.e., planar graphs
that consist of a tree $T$ and a cycle among the leaves of that tree.
Based on tree-drawing algorithms and the pathwidth $pw(T) $, a well-known graph parameter,
we find poly-line drawings of height at most $6pw(T)+3\in O(\log n)$.
We also give an algorithm for straight-line drawings, and
achieve height at most $12pw(T)-1$ for Halin-graphs, and
smaller if the Halin-graph is cubic.
We show that the height achieved by our algorithms is optimal in the worst
case (i.e. for some Halin-graphs).
