For given g ${\geq}$ 3, this paper provides an O(1) time and O(n) space complexity algorithm for generation of biconnected rooted colored outerplanar graphs with face size bound g, where the graphs generated contain at most n vertices. The vertices are colored in such a way that each color has a corresponding degree bound. There is also a face size bound for each inner face of the graph. No duplications or isomorphic copies of a same graph are generated.

An upright drawing of a planar graph G on k layers is a planar straight-line drawing of G, where the vertices of G are placed on a set of k horizontal lines, called layers and no two adjacent vertices are placed on the same layer. There is a previously known algorithm that decides in linear time whether a planar graph admits an upright drawing on k layers for a fixed value of k. However, the constant factor in the running time of the algorithm increases exponentially with k and makes it impractical even for k = 3. In this paper, we give a linear-time algorithm to examine whether a biconnected planar graph G admits an upright drawing on three layers and to obtain such a drawing if it exists. We also give a necessary and sufficient condition for a tree to have an upright drawing on three layers. Our algorithms in both the cases are much simpler and easier to implement than the previously known algorithms.
