I usually use the picture environment (and \put) to position stuff.

I see.  Anyhoo, it's good to learn about all possibilities.
Thanks again.

Since we're talking about beamer and you seem a proficient user, another tweak 
I've been struggling to implement is a better control on the positioning of 
objects such as figures or boxes that will remain fixed at a given position 
whereas the remaining of the slide wraps around it.

I've obtained a partial success with the wrap figure float, which call the 
wrapfig pack, but I don't really have a total control on the positioning 
(since it's a "float" after all) and the outcome is less than satisfactory.

Some people report success using the cutwin package, others recommend pgf-tkiz 
for figures and/or textpos for boxes.  I still haven't come around finding 
time to test all possibilities, though. Do you have any suggestion on this 
regard?

Yes, but it is not as "clever" anymore. See attachment.

Hi Jürgen.
Thank you for your reply.
Your improved rolling list solution is what I was looking for.  I was trying 
to implement the same result using Edit -> Text Style -> Only, but in this 
case the result is different. 

Your "clever" rolling list solution is the implementation of the other 
suggestion from the site.  That one I was able to implement exactly as you 
did.

What I was really interested in were rolling lists that contain nested lists 
with items that themselves are supposed to appear only in certain slides.
I was able to implement that result inserting the "only@" clause in the item 
overlay specification for those particular nested items.  See the attached 
file with my tweaks.

The "clever" implementation is IMHO the most elegant solution, but there are 
some subtle differences in the rolling behavior.  The most evident is that 
with the "clever" rolling list, one has to continue changing slides until the 
only item remaining is the last.  Do you know if there's some "cleverer" way 
to avoid that?

Anyway, thanks again.
As I learn new things about the beamer class the more impressed I become with 
its flexibility.

Rolling lists in Beamer

2016-12-07 Thread Rudi Gaelzer
Has anyone implemented with Lyx-Beamer any of the "rolling lists" discussed 
here(?):
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69609/rolling-bullet-points-in-beamer

I can implement the first example, but with heavy ERTing (see attached).
I'm just wondering if anyone has a more elegant implementation...
