Knotter uses [[Wikipedia:Knots_and_graphs|graphs to represent knots]].
This allows a very quick and intuitive editing of the basic shape of the knot. 
More fine-tuning is allowed both at the knot level and at a selection level.

Crossings are located at the center of each edge but this can be changed with styling.

The approach used by Knotter is described very well in [http://www.entrelacs.net/ Celtic Knotwork: The ultimate tutorial].
