  A quadratic differential on aRiemann surface is locally represented by a ho- lomorphic function element wh ich transforms like the square of a derivative under a conformal change of the parameter. A quadratic differential defines, in a natural way, a field of line elements on the surface, with singularities at the critical points, i.e.
