In physical VLSI design, network design (wiring) is the most time-consuming phase. For solving global wiring problems, it is proposed to first compute from the layout geometry a graph that preserves all shortest paths between pairs of relevant points, and then to operate on that graph for computing shortest paths, Steiner minimal tree approximations, or the like. For a set of points and a set of simple orthogonal polygons as obstacles in the plane, with
