overlays and seminar class

2004-04-20 Thread Myriam Abramson

I'm using the seminar class and seminar.layout for my presentations 
and I'm still struggling with overlays. I've found out that I need 
to control the slide environment myself to have overlays working. So
far so good but the display seems to get recentered each time. I've
found that some people use the InvisibleText command from the slides
class to get overlays working. How can I do that with the seminar
class? Just inserting \invisible did not work.

You must select the correct seminar option for overlaid views
(\centerslidesfalse)
I've added this to the local slides class (adapted from seminar), see
attachment.

First, I define two environments for vertically centered
and not vertically centered slides (this is inspired from prosper layout,
to avoid problems with the \maketitle command which produces
the title slide by default if a title is defined)


Preamble
\renewcommand{\newdiapo}[1]{
\end{slide}
\centerslidestrue

\renewcommand{\newdiaponc}[1]{
\end{slide}
\centerslidesfalse

#Then the layouts read:

Seminar class too hard in LyX?

2003-01-13 Thread John O'Gorman
Hi everyone.

I'm still trying to master LyX's seminar class (before going on to
Prosper).

I am dismayed to find that seminar seems to be a class where it is
harder to create a document using LyX. I hope someone can give
me the hint that breaks through this difficulty.

The main difficulty is that you cannot see where one slide environment
ends and another begins. I have resorted to exporting to LaTeX and
viewing
the .tex file with vi.

I have read all the documentation that I can find and still find it
non-trivial to create a set of slides.

I may have install errors. The Portraitslide environment has a de label
in Lyx. The Landscapeslide environment has no label.

I have to figure out how to place a Listofslides inside a slide
environment.
(Other than creating a .tex file by hand or using ERT.)

You can try the seminar layout from the LyX ftp server, look under

It was done for 1.1.6, but should work with 1.2.1. too.

However, it has different names for the environments and a different

document...

Please tell me about any problems or success...

Hello: 

I tried the layout available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz. But it is not working
properly in LyX 1.2.1. 

Then I tried the layout files given by Herbert Voss. These are attached
below. This is my observation: 

1. This layout works properly only if the page style is plain. 
2. If you use hyperref, it does not work properly.

Both the files attached should be copied into layout directory.

I feel that seminar layout is still not stable on LyX and it is safer to
directly use LaTeX to create documents using seminar, especially when
you have portrait and landscape slides, page headers and footers, and
hyperref.

Hello: 

I tried the layout available at
ftp://ftp.lyx.org/pub/lyx/contrib/seminar.tar.gz. But it is not working
properly in LyX 1.2.1. 

Then I tried the layout files given by Herbert Voss. These are attached
below. This is my observation: 

1. This layout works properly only if the page style is plain. 
2. If you use hyperref, it does not work properly.

Both the files attached should be copied into layout directory.

I feel that seminar layout is still not stable on LyX and it is safer to
directly use LaTeX to create documents using seminar, especially when
you have portrait and landscape slides, page headers and footers, and
hyperref.

Hi!

Is the seminar class documented anywhere in the Lyx documentation?
I couldn't find anything on it.  I have 1.1.5fix2.

The seminar layout file is not finised sine it need some lacking lyx
features.

SlideContents is a placeolder and you "put" all your regular paragrap
layout styles "inside" it.
