Figure Legend:
Topologically distinct pattern categories and folded shapes from those patterns. The dashed lines represent valley folds and the dotted lines represent mountain folds. (a) Glide-reflection wallpaper pattern on a rectangular grid. (b) Simple pattern on a quad-pattern coverable domain that demonstrates axial symmetry. (c) Locally consistent wallpaper pattern on a planar two-manifold mesh domain with quadrilateral and triangular faces. Note that the pattern in the center square is different than the rest (the center square requires significant bending of the faces to be folded).
