The cylinder, the Möbius strip, the torus, and the Klein bottle may each be thought of as a surface obtained from a square in the plane by identifying segments on the boundary. The author shows that if a graph can be drawn (embedded) in one of these surfaces, then it can be redrawn such that all edges are geodesics.
