Arborescent knots on Snappy

110 Views Asked by At

Let $K\subset S^3$ be an arborescent knot represented by a plumbing graph $\Gamma$ (in the sense of "New Geometric Splitting of Classical Knots and Classification and Symmetries of Arborescent Knots" by F. Bonahon and L.C. Siebenmann). Is there a way to represent the knot K on Snappy using just $\Gamma$, avoiding drawing $K$ by hands? I know that Snappy supports a short of tangle decomposition but it isn't clear to me how to use them.

For example how can I represent on Snappy the knot given by the following graph? (Please note that the integers are -from the left to the right, from top to bottom- -3,-2,0,-5,-7).
