    Abstract

    We give an explicit calculation of the Wu invariants for immersions of a
    finite graph into the plane and classify all generic immersions of a graph into
    the plane up to regular homotopy by the Wu invariant. This result is a
    generalization of the fact that two plane curves are regularly homotopic if and
    only if they have the same rotation number.
