We investigate the relationship between geometric thickness, thickness, outerthickness, and
arboricity of graphs. In particular, we prove that all graphs with arboricity two or
outerthickness two have geometric thickness O (logn). The technique used can be extended
to other classes of graphs so long as a separator theorem exists. For example, we can apply
it to show the known bound that thickness two graphs have geometric thickness O (n),
yielding a simple construction in the process.
