The problem of representing acyclic digraphs in the plane is considered. We present algorithms that construct planar drawings of acyclic digraphs such that all edges are straight-line segments flowing in the same direction, e.g., from the left to the right or from the bottom to the top. The time complexity for constructing such upward drawings is O (n log n), where n is the number of vertices of the digraph. For covering digraphs of lattices (Hasse diagrams), the complexity is reduced to O(n). We also show that the planar digraphs that admit an upward drawing are exactly the subgraphs of planar st-graphs.
