Just saw this on ctt. Does anyone know more about this? Thomas
> Name of contribution: lecturer > Author's name: Paul Isambert > Location on CTAN: macros/generic > Summary description: On-screen presentations with PDF features for > (almost) all formats. > License type: lppl > Announcement text given by the package's contributor: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Lecturer creates slides for on-screen presentations based on PDF > features without manipulating TeX's typesetting process. The > presentation flow relies on PDF's abilities to display content step by > step. > Features include: > - Free positioning of anything anywhere in painted areas on the slide, > as well as in the main textblock. > - Numerous attributes to control the layout and the presentation flow, > from TeX's primitive dimensions to the visibility of steps. > - Feature inheritance from global to local settings, with intermediate > types. > - Basic drawing facilities to produce symbols, e.g. for list items or > buttons. > - Colors, transparency, shades, and pictures. > - Navigation with links, pop-up menus, and customizable bookmarks. > - Easy switch between presentation and handout. > - PDF transitions. > Besides the traditional documentation, the distribution includes a > visual doc (LecturerDemo-VisualDoc.pdf) and six demo presentations > ranging from geometric abstraction to classic style to silly video > game. > Lecturer is designed for all formats except ConTeXt MkIV (because of > clashes in management of PDF objects, probably), works only with > pdfTeX and LuaTeX for the time being, and requires texapi and yax, > both v.1.02. ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
