an
illustration
of HAP's functions for cellular spaces we use them to
obtain a presentation for the fundamental group of the complement of
the
Borromean rings link in Euclidean 3-space. (The method uses no
specialized techniques from knot theory and can be applied to fairly
arbitrary subspaces of Euclidean space.)<br>

function <big><spanstyle="font-family: monospace;">ReadLinkImageAsPureCubicalComplex("link.eps")</span></big>
inputs an image file containing a link diagram and tries to output the
corresponding link as a 3-dimensional pure cubical complex. Ideally the link diagram should have dimensions (line thickness, under-crossing
spaces etc) similar to that of the Borromean rings diagram above. The
function does not always succeed: it applies several checks, and if one
of these checks fails then the function returns "fail".<br>

the Borromean rings as
