Every planar graph can be drawn in the plane with straight edges Fáry-Wagner planar graph
Every 3-connected planar graph is the skeleton of a convex 3-polytope. Steinitz 1922 3-connected planar graph
Every 3-connected planar graph can be drawn with straight edges and convex faces. Rubber bands and planarity Tutte (1963)
outer face fixed to convex polygon edges replaced by rubber bands Energy: Equilibrium: Rubber bands and planarity Demo
G 3-connected planar rubber band embedding is planar Lifts to Steinitz representation if outer face is a triangle Maxwell-Cremona Tutte (Easily) polynomial time computable
p F F’ p’ If the outer face is a triangle, then the Tutte representation is a projection of a Steinitz representation. If the outer face is a not a triangle, then go to the polar.

There is no non-zero stress on the edges of a convex polytope Cauchy Every simplicial 3-polytope is rigid.
If the edges of a planar graph are colored red and bule, then (at least 2) nodes where the colors are consecutive.

Every triangulation of a quadrilateral can be represented by a square tiling of a rectangle. Schramm

A planar triangulation can be represented by orthogonal circles no separating 3- or 4-cycles Andre’ev Thurston Representation by orthogonal circles
Polyhedral version Every 3-connected planar graph is the skeleton of a convex polytope such that every edge touches the unit sphere Andre’ev
