Fundamental domains of congruence subgroups of SL₂(ℤ)

This mode is a port of Helena A. Verrill's Fundamental Domain Drawer (Java applet, 2001): the choice of groups, the walk that lays out the triangles, the side-pairing table, the edit and link modes and the triangle explorer are hers, following her Algorithm for Drawing Fundamental Domains (January 2001).
