Given the surface with pentagonal boundary from Figure 3 as the input (a), the DMflatten algorithm produces a flat map (b) with no edge-crossings, satisfying criterion C4. Although this flat map is optimal, it is significantly distorted (E = 33.0%), which is not surprising given the small boundary of the input surface, relative to its surface area.
