      A divide is the image of a generic immersion of a finite number of copies of the unit interval or the unit circle in the unit disk. Divides were introduced by \textit{N. A'Campo} [Ann. Fac. Sci. Toulouse, VI. Sér., Math. 8, No. 1, 5-23 (1999; Zbl 0962.32025)] as an extension of complex plane curve singularities. In this paper the author constructs regular knot diagrams of the knots of divides by using half plane models and presents a systematic algorithm for making Dowker-Thistlethwaite codes of the knots from the divides.
