Feb 15, 2012 at 17:44 comment added Szabolcs @Daniel I found that function, but it requires a set of points (coordinate pairs) as input and it simply shows a Delaunay triangulation of these points. It does not seem to take a graph as input without explicit point coordinates. I only have the graph (e.g. as an adjacency list), I can test using PlanarQ that it is indeed a planar graph, and now I would like to show it as a planar graph (i.e. without intersecting edges)
Feb 15, 2012 at 17:14 comment added Daniel Lichtblau Have a look at Help > Documentation Center > ComputationalGeometry/ref/PlanarGraphPlot
Feb 15, 2012 at 15:43 comment added Szabolcs @kguler Even the graphs returned by GraphData don't contain vertex position information, so it doesn't solve the visualization problem. Testing planarity is not a problem, PlanarQ does that. Also, lookup tables with graphs are really problematic because they require a lot of isomorphism testing (which can be slow---and version 8.0.4 IsomorphicGraphQ is still buggy unfortunately)
Feb 15, 2012 at 15:37 comment added Szabolcs This paper, posted by @halirutan in chat, seems to suggest this is not a trivial thing to do: math.uni-hamburg.de/home/schacht/2011/untangle.pdf
Feb 15, 2012 at 15:14 comment added kglr GraphData["Classes"] returns 163 classes of which oneis "Planar" and GraphData["Planar"] returns 2923 graphs. Perhaps, this list could serve as some sort of look-up table?
Feb 15, 2012 at 15:02 comment added rm -rf @kguler I tried that and other options... it gives the correct plot for the first example and for a few in the second bigger list of graphs, but not all...

Feb 15, 2012 at 14:53 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation On the other hand, GraphData["TetrahedralGraph"] is drawn such that it is obviously planar...
Feb 15, 2012 at 14:48 comment added kglr Did you try selecting RadialDrawing in the right-click context menu under Graph Layout. For this example it gives the graph on the left.
Feb 15, 2012 at 14:47 comment added Szabolcs @Mr.Wizard The full documentation of Combinatorica` is not included. It has to be bought separately.

Feb 15, 2012 at 14:35 comment added Mr.Wizard What do you mean: the documentation is not included with Mathematica?
