• The center of reaction is at the origin.
• The configuration is aligned relative to the coordinate axes
  • The eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue with smallest absolute value is aligned with the x-axis (left image).
  • The eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue with middle absolute value is aligned with the y-axis (middle image).
  • The eigenvector corresponding to the eigenvalue with largest absolute value is aligned with the z-axis (right image).
• These images are orthographic projections.
• The configuration has a squared radius of gyration of 40. This was set for the sake of comparison between configurations and so that the knots can be easily viewed in the software KnotPlot.
