Visualizing the Template of a Chaotic Attractor
Chaotic attractors are solutions of deterministic processes, of which the
topology can be described by templates. We consider templates of chaotic
attractors bounded by a genus-1 torus described by a linking matrix. This
article introduces a novel and unique tool to validate a linking matrix, to
optimize the compactness of the corresponding template and to draw this
template. The article provides a detailed description of the different
validation steps and the extraction of an order of crossings from the linking
matrix leading to a template of minimal height. Finally, the drawing process of
the template corresponding to the matrix is saved in a Scalable Vector Graphics
