A ribbon graph is a mathematical structure used primarily in the field of topology and combinatorial structures. It is a kind of graph where edges are represented as ribbons, which have a specified width. Ribbon graphs can be thought of as a generalization of planar graphs and provide a way to encode information about embeddings of graphs in surfaces.
