For any set A of n points in
2,
we define a (3n - 3)-dimensional
simple polyhedron whose face poset is isomorphic to the poset of

non-crossing marked graphs

with vertex set A,
where a marked graph is defined as a geometric graph together with a
subset of its vertices.
The poset of non-crossing graphs on A appears as the complement of
the star of a face in that polyhedron.
The polyhedron has a unique maximal bounded face, of dimension
2n
i + n - 3 where n
i is the number of points of A in the interior of
conv (A). The vertices of this polytope are all the
pseudo-triangulations of A, and the edges are flips of two types:
the traditional diagonal flips (in pseudo-triangulations) and the removal or
insertion of a single edge. As a by-product of our construction we prove that all pseudo-triangulations are
infinitesimally rigid graphs.
