Abstract

Trees are usually drawn planar, i.e. without any crossings. In this paper, we investigate the area requirement of (non-upward) planar straight-line grid drawings of binary trees. Let T be a binary tree with n nodes. We show that T admits a planar straight-line grid drawing with area O(n) and with any pre-specified aspect ratio in the range [1, n驴], where 驴 is a constant such that 0 驴 驴 O(n log n) time.
