Installation

Introduction
Torus knots are knots that lie on the surface of a Torus.
Torus knots are defined by a pair of coprime integers.
The script defaults to a 2,3 torus knot, also known as the Trefoil knot. A larger list with examples is here. Note that p and q are reversed in that notation.
The p and q parameters in the script control which kind of knot you get.
- p controls how many times the knot is going around the torus.
- q controls how many times the knot goes through the center of the torus.
The plus options reveal additional parameters which can be used to create all kinds of other funky knot-like things. But if set right they also allow all types of torus knots.
- u and v are multiplicators to parts of p and q, they change the way the knot is twisted around the torus.
- rounds is a split of p. It controls how many times the knot goes around and can be set differently then p. This allows to get many different forms. Torus knots require this to be equal to p.
