Adiprasito and Nevo (2018) proved that there exists a set of 76 points
in $\R^3$ such that every triangulated planar graph has an
infinitesimally rigid realization in which each vertex
is mapped to a point in this set.
In this paper we show that there exists a set $A$ of 26 points
in the plane such that every planar graph which is generically rigid in $\R^2$ has an
infinitesimally rigid realization in which each vertex
is mapped to a point in this set.
It is known that a similar result, with
a set of constant size, does not hold for the family of
all generically rigid graphs in $R^d$, $d\geq 2$.
We show that for every positive integer $n$ there is a set of
$c(\sqrt{n})$ points in the plane, for some constant $c$, such that every generically rigid graph
in $R^2$ has an infinitesimally rigid realization on this set.
This bound is best possible.
