k-noids with handle

It is possible to build a handle in the k-noids of Jorge-Meeks between the two points with vertical normals. This works for all k > 2. The larger the number of catenoid ends, the smaller gets the handle compared to the surface as a whole. The fundamental piece contains four planar geodesic lines. Two of them are horizontal the others are vertical.





How do I get the complete surface from the symmetries when using GRAPE?

The input file name of these surfaces is tornoids.am.

As in the case of k-noids without handle you have to carry out k+2 operations of reflection to get a complete k-noid with handle. First reflect along one of the horizontal planar symmetry lines. Then reflect along one of the vertical planar lines. The result has to be reflected k times along one of the vertical boundary lines.
