We survey the use of continued fraction expansions in the algebraical and topological study of complex analytic singularities. We also prove new results, firstly concerning a geometric duality with respect to a lattice between plane supplementary cones and secondly concerning the existence of a canonical plumbing structure on the abstract boundaries (also called links) of normal surface singularities. The duality between supplementary cones gives in particular a geometric interpretation of a duality discovered by Hirzebruch between the continued fraction expansions of two numbers l >1 and l/(l - 1).
