(For In[1] see Setup)

Thus here's a thin unknot:

Here's the same unknot, made thicker and not as smooth:

Let's play with the framing now:

Here's an example that uses a prelude and passes options on to Graphics3D:

The last example serves as the basis for the definition of TubePlot[TorusKnot[m, n]]. Here's a final example:

\subsubsection{Standalone {\tt TubePlot}}

There may be some independent interest in the routine {\tt TubePlot}, and hence it is available also as an independent package. \latexhtml{See the online version of this manual.}{Here it is: \hlink{../Extras/TubePlot.m}{\tt TubePlot.m}.}
