Could you provide an example file? This might be a bug in the lyx2lyx 
converter.

Beamer question: overlays with graphics

[Eran Kaplinsky]

I have some older slides with frames divided into two columns. On the left
column, there is an itemized list exposed one slide at a time. On the
right, a corresponding image alternates within a fixed overlayarea.

In previous Lyx versions I did this with <1->, <2-> etc (on the left), and
overlayarea(width)(height) and  \includegraphics<1>[]{},
\includegraphics<2>[]{}, etc (on the right)

These slides do not compile in 2.1.4.

I am having limited success with Overprint instead: the left column now
appears like this:
onslide 1- textA
onslide 2- textB

And the right column like this:
Overprint onslide 1 (image1)
Overprint onslide 2 (image2)

But my problem is controlling the width of the overprint. It doesn't seem
that inserting Overprint Area Width does anything. Looking at the source
pane, filling the width box is not even reflected in the source; inserting
it within the width box as ERT with Ctrl+L is reflected in the source, but
has no effect on the image size.

Any ideas?

beamer question

[paul sutton]

Hi

Now we have the raspberry PI out,  I can perhaps use a raspberry Pi as
part of a display system for a TV,  sort of scroll through slides etc.

if i create a presentation in beamer does this allow for auto changing
of slides as in if I set the pi to auto boot to x, auto login and start
a presentation,  I want it to run the presentation and when it gets to
the end,  start over from the beginning without having to press a
keyboard to go to next slide.

Just wondered if this is possible or another package should be used.

Paul,

Look at \transduration in the the Beamer User Guide
(http://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf)

I haven't used it myself, but it seems as if it should do what you're
asking.

Or you could use Impressive
(http://impressive.sourceforge.net/index.php)
which can be used to automate any PDF presentation.

You might need to write a simple loop in some scripting language (I'd
use Perl, but Python, bash, etc. would work) to repeat the show.

Hi Liviu,

I agree with your strategy as a general approach, but given the
tendency of the students to religiously copy the projection, I prefer
to limit a lot the contents of my slides, and uncover things in a very
progressive way in my courses. Otherwise, they get obsessed by copying
the screen and they do not listen to the explanations... As a
consequence, for these cases, I prefer something automatic and
systematical.

 display in blocks. For example, you can put two items in one slide and

A Lyx-beamer question

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

When I do beamers in a standard latex editor, I put

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{+-}

in the header to have the list show progressively their items (by
pausing between items)

When I use the beamer template of Lyx, this instruction in the
preamble seems ineffective: I get plain slides like if I have given
then handout option to the class.

I can only get the original setup if I put this instruction in each
slide, in an ERB.

Is there a way to catch back my initial trick (putting it only once
for all slides)? Why what I put in the preamble is not used during the
compilation (means that, I imagine, something else in the template
reverses it)?

Re: A Lyx-beamer question

Hi Liviu,

Thanks a lot for this suggestion, I have used the templates, so I have
definitely missed this one.

Unfortunately, it does not solve my problem, since the template itself
uses an even more manual approach than mine to solve this problem (by
putting overlays after each item).

I have inserted a dummy slide with just three items on it, they came
all visible in the same in the PDF.

But I see that I can learn many tricks from this template (I do every
trick manually in ERB for now), and better use Lyx with beamer. Very
good news.

Anyway, it seems that Lyx redefines something somewhere to suppress
the effect of the global instruction I put in the preamble (it
perfectly works with beamer documents written with TexMaker, for
example). This definition would be in the slide part, since putting
the instruction in the beginning of my document (before the first
slide)  does not solve the problem either. When I have some time, I
will check the layout file to see how it redefines the frame and its
properties.

I use regularly Beamer with LyX, and of course it always depends what
you do and how you subsequently present your slides, but my experience
with stepwise display (everywhere) is: don't. Stepwise is good in
specific places, but usually it makes more sense (for me, anyway) to
display in blocks. For example, you can put two items in one slide and
uncover the three next in the second slide. I also tend to combine
this with 'block' environment (again, with pauses between 'blocks'),
and sometimes the vertical columns (don't remember their proper name).
But stepwise uncovering for every item tends not to work for me.

A Lyx-beamer question

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi,

When I do beamers in a standard latex editor, I put

\beamerdefaultoverlayspecification{<+->}

in the header to have the list show progressively their items (by
pausing between items)

When I use the beamer template of Lyx, this instruction in the
preamble seems ineffective: I get plain slides like if I have given
then "handout" option to the class.

I can only get the original setup if I put this instruction in each
slide, in an ERB.

Is there a way to catch back my initial trick (putting it only once
for all slides)? Why what I put in the preamble is not used during the
compilation (means that, I imagine, something else in the template
reverses it)?

Re: A Lyx-beamer question

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Hi Liviu,

Thanks a lot for this suggestion, I have used the templates, so I have
definitely missed this one.

Unfortunately, it does not solve my problem, since the template itself
uses an even more manual approach than mine to solve this problem (by
putting overlays after each item).

I have inserted a dummy slide with just three items on it, they came
all visible in the same in the PDF.

But I see that I can learn many tricks from this template (I do every
trick manually in ERB for now), and better use Lyx with beamer. Very
good news.

Anyway, it seems that Lyx redefines something somewhere to suppress
the effect of the global instruction I put in the preamble (it
perfectly works with beamer documents written with TexMaker, for
example). This definition would be in the slide part, since putting
the instruction in the beginning of my document (before the first
slide)  does not solve the problem either. When I have some time, I
will check the layout file to see how it redefines the frame and its
properties.

RE: Beamer question: Addional infos for Teacher

It sound like branches are good fit for your problem. 

Make the presentation. Make new branch in Document-Setting --Branches. Make 
the changes for the students, change the document layout to handouts. Make a 
new branch and add the extra for the teachers. Choose the right branch you want 
when making the different handouts and the presentation.

Beamer question: Addional infos for Teacher

[Uwe Ade]

Hello

im looking for a solution to make two different types of presentations  with 
beamer from one Source-document:

The first one is a normal Handout for the students.

The second one is a special handout for the teacher. The second one has 
additional informations for the teacher (examples, discussion points, facts 
that are necessary for teaching.

Is it possible to make this kind of Documents with latex beamer? Who does it 
works!

Thanks for every idea.

The following works fairly well for handouts:

1.  Insert into the preamble (Document  Settings  LaTeX Preamble) the 
command \setbeameroption{show notes}.


2.  Create a branch (Document  Settings  Branches) for the notes, 
using any name you like. Activate the branch when you are creating the 
instructor handout; deactivate it when creating the student handout or 
the actual slide show.


3.  Any place you want a note, do the following:

3a.  Create a standard environment (paragraph), which you may nest under 
an enumerated or itemized list item like any other text.


3b.  In the standard environment, insert the branch (Insert  Branch  
[select your branch]).


3c.  Inside the branch, change the environment to NoteItem and insert 
your note.


More granular control of notes is possible (Beamer user guide, section 
19) but probably requires the insertion of raw LaTeX.

The advantage of pgf, as far as I know, is that you can handle image

I think that you must specify the image file name without the eps 
extension, that is
\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{institution-logo}{new-logo-color}

Fernando,
   I read that in the docs and changed the string to exclude the suffix. It
still does not work. It may be a path issue. On the other hand, not having
the company logo on the title slide is no big deal and not worth a large time
investment. But, I'd sure like to understand why it's not working (path?) and
how to consistently get images in.
   Perhaps I'll try 'insert' rather than pgf.

  I specify a logo to use on the title slide:

  Could be, Angus. I've used .eps files in my book with no problems. In this
case I'm explicitly using the PDF viewer, not pdflatex. Just tried the latter
and it's still no go, but the image is larger and easier to read.

Re: Another beamer question

I found that unless I copied the graphic to the Lyx working directory in 
/tmp, the logo wouldn't end up in the presentation.  My working hypothesis 
was that this was because the graphics package automatically put the .eps 
or .png on the end of the filename, Lyx didn't know what filename to put 
into /tmp.
