The Special Collection
These are knots and links that have some intrinsic interest
even though they are not in the
standard catalogue.
You can get a random sampling of some of the knot and links in the
special collection by clicking on the
'Sp' button on the main control
panel.
That button loads a link from
one of the files spe0, spe1, spe2, ... which are just a subset
of the collection.
See this file for a description
of what the spe* files are.
Please note that there are many other knots and links in the
special collection that aren't numbered among the spe* files.
The special collection is located in the special directory in the
KnotPlot distributuion.
