We extend the notion of canonical orderings to cylindric triangulations. This allows us to extend the incremental straight-line drawing algorithm of de Fraysseix, Pach and Pollack to this setting. Our algorithm yields in linear time a crossing-free straight-line drawing of a cylindric triangulation G with n vertices on a regular grid ℤ/wℤ×[0..h], with w≤2n and h≤n(2d+1), where d is the (graph-) distance between the two boundaries. As a by-product, we can also obtain in linear time a crossing…
