A linear-time algorithm is presented to recognize and embed rectilinear graphs which are embeddable on the plane. Previously, only the \(O(n^ 2)\) time algorithm of \textit{G. Vijayan} and \textit{A. Wigderson} [SIAM J. Comput. 14, 355-372 (1985; Zbl 0568.05024)] was known. The algorithm described here uses a different and surprisingly simple strategy.
