Abstract

Canonical ordering is an important tool in planar graph drawing and other applications. Although a linear-time algorithm to determine canonical orderings has been known for a while, it is rather complicated to understand and implement, and the output is not uniquely determined. We present a new approach that is simpler and more intuitive, and that computes a newly defined leftist canonical ordering of a triconnected graph which is a uniquely determined leftmost canonical ordering.
