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.
