Brief guide to KnotPlot:

    --- use the left mouse in the main (view) window to rotate the knot.
    --- use the right mouse to scale it (move left and right).
    --- click on the buttons at the top of the control panel to load a knot at random.
    --- resize the windows as desired.
    --- click on `zoo' to load a bunch of knots and links.
    --- change `ncur', `nseg' to vary the rendering quality.
    --- click on `twfix' button to get rid of the deficit angle.

Fast Demos:

    --- Click the `Demo' button, then `Load Demos'. 
        `Main' returns you to initial control panel.
