....edges drawn in the same layer intersecting only at a common vertex and vertices placed in the same location in all layers. A related graph property is geometric thickness, defined to be the minimum number of layers for which a drawing of G exists having all edges drawn as straight line segments [11]. Finally, the book thickness of a graph G is the minimum number of layers for which a drawing of G exists, in which edges are drawn as straight line segments and vertices are in convex position [2] It has been shown that the book thickness of planar graphs is no greater than four [21] As ....

....G can be drawn in the plane with edges as straight line segments, and with each edge assigned to a layer so that no two edges in the same layer cross. Geometric thickness was rst introduced under the name of real linear thickness by Kainen [17] and has recently been studied by Dillencourt et al. [11]. Applications of geometric thickness include multilayer VLSI [1, 2] and graph visualization where layers correspond to colours in a drawing. Geometric thickness is closely related to the (graph theoretic) thickness of a graph, de ned to be the minimum number of subgraphs in a partition of the ....
....1 are precisely the planar graphs. Graphs with geometric thickness 2, called doubly linear graphs, are studied in [5, 16] Hutchinson et al. 16] prove that every doubly linear graph has at most 6n 18 edges, and present doubly linear graphs with 6n 20 edges for all n 8. Dillencourt et al. [11] establish lower and upper bounds for the geometric thickness of complete and complete bipartite graphs. It is shown that d n 1 5:646 e (Kn ) d 4 e. Note that their construction has O(n ) area under the vertex resolution rule [D. Eppstein, personal communication] Since (Kn ) 6 ....

Geometric thickness was rst introduced under the name of real linear thickness [Kai73] Lower and upper bounds are established for the geometric thickness of complete and complete bipartite graphs in [DEH00]. In particular, it is shown that (Kn ) Kn ) for large n. On the other hand, K a;b ) K a;b ) when a b.

....VLSI and visualisation. To measure the area of a drawing we assume a vertex resolution rule; that is, pairs of vertices are at least unit distance apart. A drawing obtained from a book embedding by positioning the vertices around a circle, as discussed above, has O(n ) area. The construction in [DEH00] demonstrating that (Kn ) d 4 e has O(n 6 ) area [D. Eppstein, personal communication ] We prove the following 2 dimensional generalisation of the above mentioned result in [Mal94b] for producing book embeddings. Theorem 1. The vertices of G can be positioned in a 2 n 2 n grid, ....

....linear . Clearly any doubly linear graph has thickness at most two. Hutchinson et al. HSV96, HSV99] study doubly linear graphs. They show that a doubly linear graph with n vertices has at most 6n 18 edges. Other variations of thickness are discussed in [Hob69, H S82, Hor83, Wes83a, PCK89, DEH00] for example. 6 Crossing Number In graph drawing, but also in other application areas such as VLSI layout, we are interested in a drawing of a given graph with as few edge crossings as possible. Here, we do not allow drawings of graphs where a point in the plane belongs to more than two curves ....
