Figure 19.3.10: \imagpart{(\mathop{K\/}\nolimits\!\left(k\right))} as a function of complex k^{2} for -2\leq\realpart{(k^{2})}\leq 2, -2\leq\imagpart{(k^{2})}\leq 2. The imaginary part is 0 for k^{2}<1, and is antisymmetric under reflection in the real axis. On the upper edge of the branch cut (k^{2}\geq 1) it has the value \mathop{K\/}\nolimits\!\left(k^{{\prime}}\right) if k^{2}>1, and \frac{1}{4}\pi if k^{2}=1.
