public class Mobius

extends java.lang.Object

A mobius strip with specified number of divisions per strip, number of strips, position, and appearance.

The algorithm was adapted from Tore Nordstrand's Math Image Gallery: http://www.uib.no/people/nfytn/mathgal.htm (This algorithm is not perfect yet: The strips are slightly out of alignment. This is easy to see with a small number of strips
