Presentations with Beamer

Beamer is an advanced package for presentations. The original documentation is available with the command

• texdoc beamer

in a terminal window.

The design of the presentation is controlled by themes. Apart from the many standard themes, there is a local theme for Automatic Control. See the example using this theme

It is selected with

• \usetheme{Regler}

in the document preamble. The default version does not show frame numbers or navigation symbols. To get these use one or both options:

• \usetheme[framenumbers,navigationsymbols]{Regler} 

To create the presentation handout, use the command

• eightbeamerpdf beamerExample	if you use pdflatex
  eightbeamerlua beamerExample	if you use lualatex
  eightbeamerdvi beamerExample	if you use latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf

A file with the name beamerExampleeight.pdf with eight images per page will be generated. Note that the command uses the .tex-file and not .ps or .pdf
