Main Page
Welcome to the new home of the Knot Atlas! This site aims to be a complete user-editable knot atlas, in the wiki spirit of Wikipedia. This site supersedes Dror Bar-Natan's Knot Atlas. It is being developed primarily by Scott and Dror, but any one can edit almost anything, anytime.
As with all new projects, the most important part of the Knot Atlas is the To Do list.
Extra: Tube plots with TubePlot.
See also: Jeremy Green's Table of Virtual Knots, Chuck Livingston's amazing Table of Knot Invariants, Hermann Gruber's atlas of rational knots and Paul Zinn-Justin's alternating virtual link database.
"God created the knots, all else in topology is the work of mortals."

"Among Violet's many useful skills was a vast knowledge of different types of knots"
