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 paper usually handed out at a presentation, use the command

• eightbeamerpdf example if you use pdflatex

  eightbeamerdvi example if you use latex -> dvips -> ps2pdf

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

The beginning of the LaTeX-document that generated the examples:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usetheme{Regler}
