Abstract: In this paper we construct a compactification for the parameter space of convex projective structures on a fixed n-manifold M. This parameter space is a closed semi-algebraic subset of the variety of characters of representations of the fundamental group of M in SL_{n+1}(R). The boundary is the inverse limit of an inverse system of logarithmic limit sets of this semi-algebraic set, in a sense it is the tropicalization of the parameter space. The interpretation of the boundary points can also be given using tropical geometry. This construction is a generalization of the construction of compactification of the Teichm"uller spaces.
