Abstract
After a brief introduction to the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation, so me of its important features in two space dimensions are reviewed. A c omprehensive study of the various phases observed numerically in large systems over the whole parameter space is then presented. The nature of the transitions between these phases is investigated and some theor etical problems linked to the phase diagram are discussed.
