Manual/Graph

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 thread tied in the knot. More fine-tuning is allowed to change some details bot at knot level and at a selection level.

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

In the graph the edges are usually where the crossings occurs but they can be styled and this behaviour is changed.

The approach used by Knotter is described very well in Celtic Knotwork: The ultimate tutorial.
