Video presentations with Beamer

Beamer is an advanced package for video presentations. Here is the original documentation.

The design of the presentation is controlled by themes. Apart from the default themes, there 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:

\documentclass{beamer}

%\usetheme[lionbackground]{Regler}
%\usetheme[lioncorner]{Regler}
\usetheme[liontopcorner]{Regler}
%\usetheme[lionheader]{Regler}
