 * From Wikipedia: "An OuterPlanar Graph is a graph that can be drawn in the plane without crossings in such a way that all of the vertices belong to the unbounded face of the drawing.
 * Alternatively, a graph G is outerplanar if the graph formed from G by adding a new vertex, with edges connecting it to all the other vertices, is a planar graph."
