NAME

       snappea - for creating and studying hyperbolic 3-manifolds

SYNOPSIS

       snappea
       snappea-console

DESCRIPTION

       SnapPea  is  a  program  for  creating  and studying hyperbolic 3-manifolds.  It is accessible via Python
       scripts as well as through a traditional graphical user interface.

       Running snappea will invoke the GUI.  Running snappea-console will invoke a  Python  console  from  which
       low-level operations can be performed.

       Note  that  the SnapPea Python bindings require Python 2.1, since SnapPea does not yet support Python 2.2
       or higher.
