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.

       /usr/share/doc/snappea/.  See http://www.geometrygames.org/SnapPea/ for
