Abstract: A two-dimensional direction-length framework $(G,p)$ consists of a multigraph $G=(V;D,L)$ whose edge set is formed of "direction" edges $D$ and "length" edges $L$, and a realisation $p$ of this graph in the plane. The edges of the framework represent geometric constraints: length edges fix the distance between their endvertices, whereas direction edges specify the gradient of the line through both endvertices. A direction-length framework $(G,p)$ is globally rigid if every framework $(G,q)$ which satisfies the same direction and length constraints as $(G,p)$ can be obtained by translating $(G,p)$ in the plane, and/or rotating $(G,p)$ by $180^{circ}$. In this paper, we characterise global rigidity for generic direction-length frameworks whose associated rigidity matroid is connected, by showing that such frameworks are globally rigid if and only if every 2-separation of the underlying graph is direction-balanced.
