Angles of arc-polygons and Lombardi drawings of cacti

We characterize the triples of interior angles that are possible in non-self-crossing triangles with circular-arc sides, and we prove that a given cyclic sequence of angles can be realized by a non-self-crossing polygon with circular-arc sides whenever all angles are ≤π. As a consequence of these results, we prove that every cactus has a planar Lombardi drawing (a drawing with edges depicted as circular arcs, meeting at equal angles at each vertex) for its natural embedding in which every cycle of the cactus is a face of the drawing. However, there exist planar embeddings of cacti that do not have planar Lombardi drawings.
