====== Introduction ======


//Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication// \\
 L. Da Vinci

Basic information about creating slides with LaTex and beamer

====== Documentclass ======

<code>
\documentclass[options]{beamer}
</code>

====== Slides ======

<code>
\begin{frame}
   \frametitle{Slide title}
   ...
\end{frame}
</code>

or:

<code>
\frame{
   \frametitle{Slide title}
   ...
}
</code>


====  Preamble/outline of contents ==== 

It is possible to add a frame with the outline/index of the topics.

<code>
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[part=1,pausesections]
\end{frame}
</code>

or, simply

<code>
\section[Outline]{}
\frame{\tableofcontents}
</code>

====  Body structure ====  
====  Timed/highlithed lists ====

<code>
\begin{enumerate}
\item<1-| alert@1> Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number.
\item<2-> Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers.
\item<3-> Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them.
\item<1-> Thus $q+1$ is also prime and greater than $p$.\qedhere
\end{enumerate}
</code>

====  Pictures/Tables ====
It doesn't change anything from the other LaTeX classes.
So, if you want to include some pictures, use the usual packages

<code>
\usepackage{graphicx}
</code>

or

<code>
\usepackage{tabular}
</code>

and the usual code:

<code>
\frame
{ \frametitle{Include a picture in your slideshow}	
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=5cm]{mypic.png}
\caption{Caption of the picture I want to include.}
\label{fig:pictureinc}
\end{figure}
}
</code>

and also for tables:

<code>
\frame
{ \frametitle{Include a table in your slideshow}	
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline \hline
Flowers & Fruits & Trees\\ \hline \hline
Rose & Apple &  Pine \\
Daisy & Orange &  Oak\\ \hline \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Table example.}
\label{tbl:tableexample}
\end{table}
}
</code>

====  Codes ====  

Here, there's no difference from the usual LaTeX classes, too.

See also this [[vlsi:resources:latex:syntax|section]].


====  Links to external files (pop-up viewing) ==== 

You have to use the ''hyperref'' package in your main source preamble: 

<code>
\usepackage{hyperref} 
</code>

then 

<code>
\href{file.jpeg}{Link to a picture}
</code>
or

<code>
\href{file.pdf}{Link to a pdf file}
</code>

====  Insert web content dynamically (javascript) ====

====== Themes ======

====  Default themes ====  

If no theme is specified (or ''\usetheme{default}'' is specified), your presentation will be appear simply empty.
Otherwise, you can use some predefined themes, such as:

\usetheme{Bergen}
\usetheme{Hannover}
\usetheme{Darmstadt}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usetheme{Montpellier}
\usetheme{Berlin}
\usetheme{Boadilla}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\usetheme{Pittsburgh}
\usetheme{Copenhagen}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usetheme{Rochester} %[ works best as \usetheme[height=7mm]{Rochester} ]
\usetheme{Malmoe}
</code>
