This is an expository paper on singular flat metrics on surfaces induced by quadratic differentials: trajectories, curvature, Gauss-Bonnet formula, etc. The author emphasizes the polyhedral, the Riemannian and the graphical aspects of such structures and gives examples of surfaces embedded in 3-space.
