Isothermic parameterizations are synonyms of isothermal curvature line parameterizations, for surfaces immersed in Euclidean spaces. We provide a method of constructing isothermic coordinate charts on surfaces which admit them, starting from an arbitrary chart. One of the primary applications of this work consists of numerical algorithms for surface visualization.
