Abstract

A rectangular drawing is a plane drawing in which every face is a rectangle. In this paper we give a simple encoding scheme for rectangular drawings. Given a rectangular drawing R with maximum degree 3, our scheme encodes R with 5/3m + o(n) bits where n is the number of vertices of R and m is the number of edges of R. Also we give an algorithm to supports a rich set of queries, including adjacency and degree queries on the faces, in constant time.
