[Latex-beamer-users] Beamer and DraTeX.

From: Fabrice Larribe <fabrice.larribe@ma...> - 2004-04-14 13:59

Hi everybody. I have just dicover Beamer recently, and I'm very impressed by
this wonderful class. The author of the package has made a great job. 
I use my own little (plain Tex) macro to make presentation in the past, and most
of my graphics are done in DraTex/AlDraTex, a marvellous drawing package by
Eitan Gurari. Although very basic DraTex commands seems to works with beamer,
little more sophisticated drawing do not work. I have seen in the documentation
of Beamer that the author knows that most drawing packages are incompatibles
with Beamer, but just in case, has anybody find a solution to use DraTex and
Beamer ? This is espcially important for me for several reasons: all my
graphics are in this format, this is more useful to "program" the drawings so I
can change the lines widths and color, and some of my graphics use
sophisticated ways offered by DraTex to make figures, that I can not
"translate" in pgf.
Thanks for any help.
Fabrice L.

You could have a look at metapost. Here are a few examples of what it 
allows: http://www.ursoswald.ch/metapost/tutorial.html.
I don't know dratex but it seems that all it offers can be translated 
into metapost.
Regards,
Jean-Baptiste.

Thanks for the info. Much appreciated. As you know, when you efficient with a
certain language (DraTex in my case), this is difficult to change, learn a new
language is tedious and is a long process.... Although I will have a look for
MetaPost, I have tried the pgf class which is supported by Beamer, but I missed
so much from DraTeX, that I will probably not use the beamer class, and come
back to my own simple plain TeX format. Figures and graphics in presentations
are very important, and I reuse all the time graphics that I have make in the
past. So it's important for me to can reuse my own "graphics library". 
Thanks again.

[Latex-beamer-users] Themes

From: Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes <albie@al...> - 2004-04-10 21:36

Hi

I am being using LaTeX Beamer for about 4 days and I am loving it. 
Specially the beamerthemeshadow with that green, blue and red boxes.
One of my biggest problems (well, my big problem) is size of the top bar 
where Beamer puts sections and subsections.

Is it possible to maintain the theme, but does not enumerate all the 
setctions and subsections on the top bar?

THanks
Best regards,

Alberto

First, you can try the "compress" option, which will squeeze the 
navigation bars in one line; but this is usually a bit cramped. To just 
abolish the whole top navigation bar, say

\beamertemplateheadempty

Hoping this helps,
Till

Hi, all.

  I'm packaging and uploading beamer and pgf to Debian official

So, please update the description of section 2.1 of

[Latex-beamer-users] Black start or end page

From: Rafael de Pelegrini Soares <rafael@en...> - 2004-04-06 22:01

Hi all!!

Im a new latex-Beamer user and I have a novice question.
Is there an easy way to create a "start page", entirely black with 
something like "press Page Down"
to start the presentation?

Regards.
Thanks in Advance.

-Rafael.

\documentclass{beamer}

\begin{document}

\beamertemplatesolidbackgroundcolor{black}
\frame[plain]{

\beamertemplatesolidbackgroundcolor{white}

[Latex-beamer-users] Increasing depth to itemize

From: <mousie@ar...> - 2004-04-06 02:09

Hello:

On p. 41 of "The User's Guide to the Beamer Class," I read that the nested
depth
has been suppressed to level 2. How can I change the code in the file
beamerbaselocalstructure.sty to accomodate more that 2 nested items?

Actually, I was able to remove the suppression changing this piece of the code:
\@itemdepth >2.

\def\itemize{%
  \ifnum \@itemdepth >1\relax\@toodeep\else
    \advance\@itemdepth\@ne
    \edef\@itemitem{labelitem\romannumeral\the\@itemdepth}%
    \edef\@itemctr{item\romannumeral\the\@itemdepth}%
    \csname\@itemctr starttemplate\endcsname%
    \expandafter
    \list
      \csname\@itemitem\endcsname
      {\def\makelabel##1{{\hss\llap{##1}}}}
  \fi%
  \raggedright}

But I am unable to find out how to add a buttom to the item and properly indent
it.
