  Graphic statics is undergoing a renaissance, with computerized visual
representation becoming both easier and more spectacular as time passes. While
methods of the past are revived and tweaked, little emphasis has been placed on
studying the details of these methods. Due to the considerable advances of our
mathematical understanding since the birth of graphic statics, we can learn
many interesting and beautiful things by examining these old methods from a
more modern viewpoint. As such, this work shows the mathematical fabric joining
different aspects of graphic statics, like dualities, reciprocal diagrams and
discontinous stress functions.
