Visualization

Abstract

We give a new, inductive proof that every 2-connected planar graph is a bar-visibility graph. Changing from horizontal lines to arcs of concentric circles and from vertical to radial visibility, we obtain a similar result for polar visibility graphs, which naturally embed on the projective plane.
