concept, so any position you could move the knot into without breaking the string is a valid representation - hence I can also praise the creator for choosing particularly clear forms to illustrate them in. It is admittedly true that it does help if you're a topology geek, or at least an amateur one,

I wasn't saying this image was wrong... but, I don't tend to like adding sources to someone else's image since they should, ideally, source exactly what they used... not something found afterwards. Since you are the creator if you used that page could you just add it saying you used it to help

and it's also admittedly true that it's a very basic drawing. Still, we shouldn't knock things just because they're simple, particularly in cases like this where the simplicity aids in understanding, so I must support.
254: 469:: I wish this picture could be more interesting to everyone, but I feel that adding color or something else would be distracting and detract from its encyclopedic value. 430:
Alexander-Briggs notation is just an arbitrary ordering of the knots, the large number is the number of crossings, and the subscript is just the arbitrary order used by
191:. I've chosen to change my vote, because I have little expertise in this area. The image does not look particularly striking to me, but that's not for me to decide. :) 554: 544: 17: 64:
I think this diagram meets all of the applicable criteria, it helps readers visualize the differences and similarities between different knots.

I think some colour would make it more interesting and engage the viewer more. Nothing fancy, perhaps make the captions coloured.

I think this diagram does a superb job at illustrating a somewhat-difficult topological concept clearly and cleanly. Knots are a

I've made the lines thicker now, and also made sure all the ends look like they would meet under the crossing.

It's simple and informative, but also uninteresting. It is not an example of Knowledge (XXG)'s best work. 421: 372: 348: 308: 268: 300:

I agree with Jkasd. I would prefer that the lines be a bit thicker in the knots.
