Abstract
An ortho-polygon visibility representation (OPVR) of an embedded graph G is an embedding-preserving drawing that maps each vertex of G to a distinct orthogonal polygon and each edge of G to a vertical or horizontal visibility between its end-vertices. An OPVR Γ has vertex complexity k if every polygon of Γ has at most k reflex corners. A 1-plane graph is an embedded graph such that each edge is crossed at most once. It is known that 3-connected 1-plane graphs admit an OPVR with vertex complexity at most 12, while vertex complexity at least 2 may be required in some cases. In this paper, we reduce this gap by showing that vertex complexity 5 is always sufficient, while vertex complexity 4 may be sometimes required. These results are based on the study of the combinatorial properties of the B-, T-, and W-configurations in 3-connected 1-plane graphs. An implication of the upper bound is the existence of a O˜(n107)-time drawing algorithm that computes an OPVR of an n-vertex 3-connected 1-plane graph on an integer grid of size O(n)×O(n) and with vertex complexity at most 5.
