English term or phrase: piecewise
context:
4. Generation of a piecewise developable approximation
We now describe our algorithm for modifying the sketched input surface to make it piecewise developable. We assume that the user has specified all the desired seams on the surface. Our goal is thus to take each surface panel bounded by the seams and make it developable, with as little modification as possible. To quantify the improvement in developability we measure the distortion introduced by unfolding the surfaces into the plane. The distortion is a natural metric as our final goal is to generate planar patterns for the surface panels. In the ideal case we would like to obtain zerodistortion flattening. However since real fabric can stretch a bit, small distortion is often acceptable. The metrics we use and the unfolding algorithm are discussed in Section 4.4.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Is this mean that every "piece" of the approximation is "develpable"?
