Drawing Knot Diagrams with LaTeX and Xy-pic
Abstract
During Fall 2002 I attended a seminar on Knottheory, held by Prof. Koschorke. I wanted to produce some foils, showing knots and their polynomials with LaTeX.
After some research on the web, I found out that Xy-pic was the right tool for me. After a few weeks studying the manuals and in vain searching for better documentation about the knots and link feature, I was able to held my seminar.
During Christmas holidays 2002, I found time to write down a small introduction or tutorial, showing how to typeset mathematical knots and links with Xy-pic. This introduction is intended for Xy-pic - beginners. It is not a replacement for the reference manual, it is an addition with many examples.
