Let
P
be a set of points in the plane and
S
a set of non-crossing line segments with endpoints in
P
. The visibility graph of
P
with respect to
S
, denoted
$\mathord{\it Vis}(P,S)$
, has vertex set
P
and an edge for each pair of vertices
u
,
v
in
P
for which no line segment of
S
properly intersects
uv
. We show that the constrained half-
θ
6
-graph (which is identical to the constrained Delaunay graph whose empty visible region is an equilateral triangle) is a plane 2-spanner of
$\mathord{\it Vis}(P,S)$
. We then show how to construct a plane 6-spanner of
$\mathord{\it Vis}(P,S)$
with maximum degree 6 +
c
, where
c
is the maximum number of segments adjacent to a vertex.
