| Mar 29, 2020 at 16:47 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | @ShadyPuck Yes, that's the idea. You could post that bit as an answer here. (That's quite a tome on knot theory that you're building there!) | |
| Mar 28, 2020 at 20:00 | comment | added | Shady Puck | @AndrewStacey Although I have read the entirety of the documentation, I had not considered using Section 3.3. I implemented an MWE in my KnotNotes repository on GitHub for the 7_4 knot (the diff between my old and new code can be found here and the result is displayed in Figure 1.21b of the PDF). Is this what you were thinking? BTW, thanks for building this tool -- it was tremendously useful throughout my knot exploits. | |
| Mar 27, 2020 at 23:21 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | If your knots are very structured, like the trefoil, to the point where you know where the intersections are then you can build your knot around them and not have to use the knot environment at all. Take a look at Section 3.3 of the knot package documentation. If that sounds interesting but you're not sure what it would look like, I could whip up an example or two. Any particular knots you're looking at? | |

@AndrewStacey Yeah, I worried that that was the case. Based on my own toying around, it looks like knots obscures parts of a path rather than creating multiple. Do you have any plans to adjust its functioning, possibly as an option? BTW, I did find a rather crude solution in using multiple strands, but I had to manually create a number of the intersections using the double feature of TikZ.

| Mar 27, 2020 at 20:36 | comment | added | Andrew Stacey | (Sorry - only just seen this.) The difficulty here is that colours and decorations have to be applied to paths as a whole, but the knot library is designed for when we are trying to draw strands as entire paths which cross over each other at possibly unknown places. So there's a basic tension between the two. I'm not sure of the best way to solve this one. | |

| Sep 2, 2019 at 10:48 | comment | added | Sebastiano | With lot of sincerity I should to read the manual and I'm not very able to give you an answer. Surely there is my +1. My best regards. | |
| Sep 2, 2019 at 10:45 | comment | added | Shady Puck | @Sebastiano I have seen this link. I am not sure how that code works, though. If you believe that this could be the solution, can you write up an answer explaining it? I'm still rather new to TikZ, sorry... | |
