I like it! Are those cylinders and spheres, or a mesh? I'm guessing cylinders
and spheres.

Thank you Bob!
The whole output contains only the tori and cylinders ofthe knotwork. I
tought about adding a bitmap export feature so that you also can create
an image map or a material map. Does this suit your needs?

I'll publish the source under the GPL. But don't be disappointed about
it's lousy style :-)

Fantastic... but are you going to account for the over-under aspect that is
traditionally associated with knotwork?

You are right. The algorithm takes care of that (just follow one line
and change the kind of crossing. It should work out.) but I implemented
the plain
version first. This way I can still improve it. :-)

Possibly. The image could then be painted in at the spaces, differently colored
for each so that it would be like a stained glass panel when all put back
together. Not so much a need of my own exactly, I was thinking of others who
often want to do such things.

Looks great, wish I could motivate myself to getting round to doing
some programming.

I've got a lot to read so I skipped the techy section, but as a math whiz
(euphamism for nerd) I'll say it's intriguing, and as an artist I'll say it's
harmonious. (Or harmony expressed mathematically, because math is present in
nature and gives order to the universe...)
I hope you realize I'm not entirely serious when I say this kind of stuff...
