Abstract: | It is a well-known result that testing a graph for planarity and, in the affirmative case, computing a planar embedding can
be done in linear time. In this paper, we show that the same holds if additionally we require that the produced drawing be
symmetric with respect to a given automorphism of the graph. This problem arises naturally in the area of automatic graph
drawing, where symmetric and planar drawings are desired whenever possible.
