\section{introduction}
This is the very first try of drawing knots. The package uses the \PS\
subroutines of the file \LFile{psMath.pro} from Matthias Buch-Kromann.)
Currently there are only two macros for knots.
\section{\nxLcs{psKnot}}
The macro \Lcs{psKnot} has one optional and two mandatory arguments, the origin
of the image and the knot type. The following list shows all available knot types.
\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psKnot}\OptArgs\Largr{\CAny}\Largb{knot type}
\end{BDef}
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=red](0,0){0-1}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(8,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=red](0,0){3-1}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](4,0){4-1}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(8,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](0,0){5-1}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](4,0){5-2}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(10,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](0,0){6-1}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](4,0){6-2}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](8,0){6-3}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(10,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=red](0,0){7-1}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](4,0){7-2}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=green](8,0){7-3}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(10,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=red](0,0){7-4}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=green](4,0){7-5}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](8,0){7-6}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-2)(2,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=blue](0,0){7-7}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\section{Special settings}
There exists three special optional arguments for the macro \Lcs{psKnot}.
\subsection{Scaling}
The image can be scaled with \Lkeyword{scale}, which can take one or two
values for x and y scaling. For only one value it is scaled for x and y
with the same value. The default is 1 1.
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-4,-4)(4,4)
\psKnot[linewidth=5pt,linecolor=blue,knotscale=2](0,0){6-1}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\subsection{Border color}
The background color of the border can be controlled by \Lkeyword{knotbgcolor}.
It can use any possible color value and it makes
only sense for a colored background to get the same color for the crossing.
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(6,2)
\psframe[fillcolor=black!20,fillstyle=solid](-2,-2)(6,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=5pt,linecolor=red!50](0,0){7-4}
\psKnot[linewidth=5pt,linecolor=red!50,
knotbgcolor=black!20](4,0){7-4}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
Pay attention that black!20 is the same as 0,8 of gray.
\subsection{Border width}
The width of the border is controlled by the keyword \Lkeyword{knotborder} and
it is preset to 5\Ldim{pslinewidth}. The border width is added
to the current linewidth.
\begin{LTXexample}[pos=t]
\begin{pspicture}(-2,-2)(6,2)
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=cyan!60](0,0){6-3}
\psKnot[linewidth=3pt,linecolor=red!50,
knotborder=5\pslinewidth](4,0){6-3}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
\section{\nxLcs{psBorromean}}
The macro \Lcs{psBorromean} draws the so called Borromean rings.
It has one optional and three mandatory arguments, the origin
of the image, the inner and outer radius. The following list shows all available knot types.
\begin{BDef}
\Lcs{psBorromean}\OptArgs\Largr{\CAny}\Largb{circle radius}\Largb{inner radius}
\end{BDef}
\begin{LTXexample}
\begin{pspicture}[showgrid=true](-2,-3)(10,4)
\psBorromean(0,0){1cm}{1cm}
\psBorromean[linewidth=8pt,knotborder=2\pslinewidth,
bmcolor={blue,yellow,magenta}](6,0){2cm}{1.5cm}
\end{pspicture}
\end{LTXexample}
