Abstract

In diagrammatic representations of hierarchies the minimization of the number of crossings between edges is a well-known criterion for improving readability. An efficient algorithm for testing if a hierarchy is planar (i.e. if it can be drawn without edge crossings) is proposed. A complete combinatorial characterization of the class of planar hierarchies is also given.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
