Contents. Method The Beamer class is not the first class for creating presentations, and like many of its predecessors, it has special syntax for defining 'slides' (known in Beamer as 'frames'). Slides can be built up on-screen in stages as if by revealing text that was previously hidden or covered. This is handled with output by creating successive pages that preserve the layout but add new elements, so that advancing to the next page in the PDF file appears to add something to the displayed page, when in fact it has redrawn the page. The list of features supported by Beamer is quite long (unfortunately, so is presumably the list of bugs supported by Beamer).

The most important features, according to the user guide are:. Beamer can be used with pdflatex, latex+dvips, lualatex. Latex+ isn’t supported. The standard commands of LaTeX still work. A tableofcontents will still create a table of contents, section is still used to create structure, and itemize still creates a list. Overlays and dynamic effects can be easily created. The appearance of presentations can be modified using themes.

The layout, the colors, and the fonts used in a presentation can easily be changed globally, while preserving control over the most minute detail. A special style file allows for the use the LaTeX source of a presentation directly in other classes such as article or book. This makes it easy to create presentations out of lecture notes or lecture notes out of presentations.

The final output is typically a file, making it highly portable and worry-free, in the sense that a given presentation will always look the same no matter the machine it is opened on. Source code for Beamer presentations, like any other LaTeX file, can be created using any text editor, but there is specific support for Beamer syntax in. Beamer supports syntax of other LaTeX presentation packages, including and, by using compatibility packages. Output options Beamer provides the ability to make 'handouts', that is a version of the output suitable for printing, without the dynamic features, so that the printed version of a slide shows the final version that will appear during the presentation.

For actually putting more than one frame on the paper, the pgfpages package is to be used. An 'article' version is also available, rendered on standard sized paper (like A4 or letter), with frame titles used as paragraph titles, no special slide layout/colors, keeping the sectioning. This version is suitable for lecture notes or for having a single source file for an article and the slides for the talk about this article. Dependencies Beamer depends on for some of its features.

Technical Support SWP & SW Version 5/5.5 Scientific Notebook TeXnology Document 716 The LaTeX Beamer document class Version: 5.x - Scientific WorkPlace & Scientific Word The LaTeX Beamer document class produces presentations, handouts, and transparency slides as typeset PDF files. The class provides global and local control of layout, color, and fonts; a variety of list and list display mechanisms; and many dynamic transitions between slides. Beamer presentations can contain text, mathematics, graphics, and animations. A single SWP or SW file contains an entire Beamer presentation. You define global formatting with commands in the preamble. You create each slide in the presentation inside frame environments, which are defined with fragments provided as part of the support.

Transitions are also defined with fragments. This illustrates many of the available features. If you have SWP or SW, you can used to create the presentation. Get focusky (4.7.4 for mac. Version 5.5 The Beamer support is included on the CD for program build 2953B and included with build 2960. If you have an earlier build of Version 5.5 you can apply the patch update. Version 5.0 You can a 5-MB self-extracting file that provides support for Beamer. The download includes the Slides - Beamer document shell, a sample presentation, the Beamer User Guide, and the associated fragments required to provided basic support for Beamer in Version 5.x.

The class is installed in the TCITeX/TeX/LaTeX/contrib/beamer directory. the BeamerSupportFiles.exe file to your program directory, usually c: swp55 or sw55 for Version 5.5. Run the program and enter your program directory as the extraction directory. Follow the prompts that appear on your screen.

Notice that the BeginFrame and EndFrame encapsulated TeX fields must be placed around the text for each slide.

Additional information on creating Beamer slide shows can be found in the document PackageSample-beamer.tex in the SWSamples directory. The last page of the sample document includes a link to the Beamer documentation where technical details for using Beamer can be found.
