  abstract = {A two-dimensional cellular complex is a partition of a surface into a finite number of elements---faces (open disks), edges (open arcs), and vertices (points). The topology of a cellular complex consists of the abstract incidence and adjacency relations among its elements. \par Here we describe a program that, given only the topology of a cellular complex, computes a geometric realization of the same---that is, a specific partition of a specific surface in three-space---guided by various aesthetic and presentational criteria.}
