A plane graph is rectilinear planar if it admits an embedding-preserving straight-line drawing where each edge is either horizontal or vertical. We prove that rectilinear planarity testing can be solved in optimal O(n) time for any plane series-parallel graph G with n vertices. If G is rectilinear planar, an embedding-preserving rectilinear planar drawing of G can be constructed in O(n) time. Our result is based on a characterization of rectilinear planar series-parallel graphs in terms of intervals of orthogonal spirality that their components can have, and it leads to an algorithm that can be easily implemented.
