Abstract

We show how to embed a 3-connected planar graph with n verticesas a 3-polytope with small integer coordinates.The coordinates are bounded by O(27.55n). The crucial part is the construction of a plane embeddingwhich supports an equilibrium stress.We have to guarantee that the size of the coordinates and thestresses are small.This is achieved by applying Tutte's spring embedding method carefully.
