The graph K5 and the knot associated with it.

Knotter uses 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.

An example showing how the built-in edge types behave.

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 Celtic Knotwork: The ultimate tutorial.
