enumerating embeddings #107

Closed jonaprieto closed 4 years ago

jonaprieto commented 4 years ago

Is there a possibility or even something closer to get all embeddings of a given graph to be planar? From what I saw in the documentation so far, there is a method to check if a given embedding corresponds to a planar graph.

There is no functionality to enumerate all embeddings, or all planar embeddings, of a planar graph. However, if the graph is 3-vertex-connected, then there is only one embedding.

IGraph/M can check if an embedding is planar. Note that a planar graph can have several embeddings, some of which are planar, and some which are not.


I would like to keep the issue tracker for bug reports and feature request only. For future support questions, please use either the forum, https://igraph.discourse.group/, or https://mathematica.stackexchange.com/ Just add the appropriate tags, and I will respond eventually.
