overlays and seminar class
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. myriam

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

to avoid problems with the \maketitle command which produces
the title slide by default if a title is defined)

I read in the seminar documentation that overlay are possibles.
I tried \overlay{n} and \begin {overlay}{n} with no success. How do

You could try what happens when you change FormatDocumentPapersize setting from A4 to default.

Would be nice if somebody could explain why it works in this way and tell us if there's a way to call dvips without the option -t a4 within lyx (why is this option there anyway, if it works without it, too?) You could try what happens when you change FormatDocumentPapersize setting from A4 to default. In EditSettings there are two more places to experiment with: Output.Printer (with dvips options -T for papersize and -t for papertype) Output.Latex (with Standard-Papersize) Günter -- G.Milde at web.de

Re: documentclass: seminar
Hello List, Apparently there are problems with the documentclass seminar and a4-paparsize, though I haven't solved them I#ve found something out that might be helpful for somebody who needs his slides prindet and doesn't bother if its a bit unconvenient, so there are two things: 1. Lyx calls dvips with the option -t a4 - don't ask me why 'cause I don't know; that's just what the pop-up-window tells. 2. If one exports the foo.dvi file and does dvips foo.dvi in a shell without any options (especially without -t a4), he'll get a file foo.ps, which is printable on a4-paper - though without pagenumbers - and again: don't ask me why 'cause I don't know. In this way it worked with my system (rh9, lyx-1.3.3). Would be nice if somebody could explain why it works in this way and tell us if there's a way to call dvips without the option -t a4 within lyx (why is this option there anyway, if it works without it, too?) -Hope this helps anybody (even if it's no real solution to the problem) Ciao -Kai

Seminar class too hard in LyX?
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.) John O'Gorman

I have lyx 1.2.1 (from mandrake 9.0) and am trying to get the seminar style to work. I have downloaded a new seminar.layout and slide.inc and have copied them into /usr/share/lyx/layouts/ This makes most things work but I still get the following errors when import a tex document which uses seminar...

[newbie] seminar turned upside-down in ps-output
Hi, I have I question about the seminar.cls: I set the page to landscape. When I preview the *.dvi it looks allright. But when I export it to ps/pdf the pages get turned upside down. I always have to press swap landscape in the ps-preview. (I checked seminar_faq.html but didn't find a hint.) What can I do to prevent this? Thanks.

Re: Seminar Layout --Bug
Re: When I use the seminar layout, i have the title etc and then i choose...
I am interested in using `seminar´. In the help document `extended features´
it says, however
or the seminar package [present on some TeX distributions].
-- The latter is not yet supported under LyX!
has this been changed in the meantime and were do I get the seminar package?
Thanks
One final thing: I created this class to support the LaTeX2e SliTeX
emulation class, one of the built-in LaTeX2e classes. Neither I nor the rest
of the LyX Team endorse or oppose the use of this built-in slide class. It's
here if you want it or need it. There exist other LaTeX2e classes for
creating presentations, such as the Foils class [see section [sec:foiltex]]
or the seminar package [present on some TeX distributions]. The latter is
not yet supported under LyX.Perhaps you can take on the ...task I know
nothing about these other classes. Try them out to see what sort of
alternative they provide.

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.
