Abstract
In a rectangular drawing of a plane graph, each edge is drawn as a horizontal or vertical line segment, and all faces including the outer face are drawn as rectangles. In this paper, we introduce an “extended rectangular drawing” in which all inner faces are drawn as rectangles but the outer face is drawn as a rectilinear polygon with designated corners, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a plane graph to have an extended rectangular drawing.
