If a planar graph is nodally 3-connected or triangulated then every such mapping is an embedding (Tutte, Floater). We give a simple characterisation of nodally 3-connected planar graphs, and generalise the above result to any planar graph which admits any convex embedding.27 pages Latex, 11 postscript figuresComputational GeometryNodally 3-connected planar graphs and convex combination mappingstext
