How to draw tropical planes

Résumé : The tropical Grassmannian parameterizes tropicalizations of linear spaces, while the Dressian parameterizes all planes in n-1 dimnensional tropical projective space. We study these parameter spaces and we compute them explicitly for $n \leq 7$. Planes are identified with matroid subdivisions and with arrangements of trees. These representations are used to draw pictures. This is joint work with Sven Herrmann, Michael Joswig and Bernd Sturmfels.
