How to Draw Tropical Planes

The tropical Grassmannian parameterizes tropicalizations of ordinary linear spaces, while the Dressian parameterizes all tropical linear spaces in TP. We study these parameter spaces and we compute them explicitly for n ≤ 7. Planes are identified with matroid subdivisions and with arrangements of trees. These representations are then used to draw pictures.

How to Draw a Planarization

In this thesis we study the problem of computing a straight-line representation of a planarization with a fixed combinatorial structure. By the results of Mnëv [Mnë88] and Shor [Sho91] this problem is as hard as the Existential Theory of the Reals (∃R-Complete). We present a heuristic called Geometric Planarization Drawing to compute a straight-line representation of a planarization. We take an...

On Not Being Able to Draw a Mousetrap

A hundred years ago officers entering the Royal Navy took an exam where they had to draw a mouse-trap. At the time there was much discussion, and some despair, about competence, and about teaching. For amateurs, drawing manuals provided instructions on how to render a still life in 3D, or draw a running figure, tasks that would now be effortless given current software. Today much debate about d...
