Abstract

We show an approach for constructing grid patterns on the Costa surface and a torus with three points removed, which can be conformally mapped to each other. The orthogonal grids on the Costa surface and the torus are mapped from a common domain of a flat torus. When the slope of the mapped lines is rational, the generated orthogonal grid has finite length and can be constructed from two wire ropes orthogonally intersecting with each other.
