This program visualizes the Whitehead link as it sits in the 3-sphere S^3, stereographically projected to Euclidean 3-space. The Whitehead link is a two-component link that is not a torus link and whose complement admits a complete hyperbolic metric of finite volume. The visualization renders both components of the link as tubes, showing their linking structure after projection from S^3, where the geometry is more symmetric than in the standard R^3 presentation.
