Abstract

We study compact straight-line embeddings of trees. We show that perfect binary trees can be embedded optimally: a tree with n nodes can be drawn on a √n by √n grid. We also show that testing whether a given binary tree has an upward embedding with a given combinatorial embedding in a given grid is NP-hard.
