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. It is selected with

•  \usetheme{Regler} 

in the document preamble.

are a couple of local themes for Automatic Control, LTH. They are contained in the package beamerthemeRegler.sty, and selected with options to this package:

• \usetheme[lioncorner]{Regler}

• \usetheme[lionheader]{Regler}

• \usetheme[lionbackground]{Regler}

• \usetheme[liontopcorner]{Regler}

The default version does not show any frame numbers. To get numbered frames, use the option [framenumbers], e.g.

•  \usetheme[liontopcorner,framenumbers]{Regler} 

To create the paper usually handed out before 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:
