Does anyone know of a method to transform an arbitrary triangulated
surface into a plane? (I am only considering simply connected surfaces).
Pointers to papers would be appreciated.  Note that for arbitrary
surfaces projection does not work in general and breaking the surface
into a set of curves (which then could be made isoparametric curves in
2D) which extend between two boundary points of the surface does also
not work in general. One can think of a mushroom shaped surface where
both of these method fail. 

Thanks in advance,
Helgi Hjalmarsson
