Abstract

We show that every graph of maximum degree three can be drawn in three dimensions with at most two bends per edge, and with 120° angles between any two edge segments meeting at a vertex or a bend. We show that every graph of maximum degree four can be drawn in three dimensions with at most three bends per edge, and with 109.5° angles, i. e., the angular resolution of the diamond lattice, between any two edge segments meeting at a vertex or bend.
