D.13.4.6 drawTropicalCurve

Procedure from library tropical.lib (see tropical_lib).

Usage:
drawTropicalCurve(f[,#]); f poly or list, # optional list

Assume:
f is list of linear polynomials of the form ax+by+c with integers a, b and a rational number c representing a tropical Laurent polynomial defining a tropical plane curve;
alternatively f can be a polynomial in Q(t)[x,y] defining a tropical plane curve via the valuation map;
the basering must have a global monomial ordering, two variables and up to one parameter!

Return:
NONE

Note:
- the procedure creates the files /tmp/tropicalcurveNUMBER.tex and /tmp/tropicalcurveNUMBER.ps, where NUMBER is a random four digit integer;
moreover it displays the tropical curve via xdg-open;
if you wish to remove all these files from /tmp,
call the procedure cleanTmp
- edges with multiplicity greater than one carry this multiplicity
- if # is empty, then the tropical curve is computed w.r.t. minimum, if #[1] is the string 'max', then it is computed w.r.t. maximum
- if the last optional argument is 'onlytexfile' then only the latex file is produced; this option should be used if xdg-utils is not installed on your system
- note that lattice points in the Newton subdivision which are black correspond to markings of the marked subdivision, while lattice points in grey are not marked
