Abstract

The method to construct an arrangement of n lines having a monotone path was presented. It was observed that k parallel horizontal lines and k parallel vertical lines uses n lines and has a length n=2k. It was found that a path is monotone in direction (a,b) if its sequence of vertices is monotone when projected orthogonally along the line with equation ay-bx=0.
