.... [9, 19, 38] visibility graph or visibility complex counting [37, 38, 36] covering and separation [41] collision detection [2, 25, 24, 23] stretchability and realizability of pseudoline arrangements [36, 38, 18] and, last but not least, planning expansive motions of polygonal chains [33, 12, 47]. A key feature of pseudo triangulations that is largely exploited in the applications mentioned above is the existence of a ip operation e.g. in Figure 2 the rightmost pseudo triangulation is obtained from the leftmost pseudo triangulation after a sequence of six ip operations (see also left ....

....straight line. Similarly, we wonder whether a cycle linkage (polygon) can always be convexified ; i.e. whether it can be moved to a configuration that is a convex polygon. If a linkage cannot be so reconfigured, it is called locked. These questions have been in the math community since the 1970 s [22] and in the computational geometry community since 1991 [18, 19] but first appeared in print in 1993 and 1995: 20] and [16, p. 270] Initial computational geometry results focused on certain classes of configurations such as visible chains [4] star shaped polygons [9] and monotone polygons ....
