[gentoo-user] beamer

[Uwe Thiem]

Hi folks,

I have just heard about a TeX/LaTeX extension by the name "beamer" that can 
produce stunning slide shows. I have been told that it beats PowerPoint, 
Impress, KPresenter and any other presentation software hands down due to 
TeX's built-in knowledge of true typesetting. Another advantage is that the 
result is a PDF and can be presented on any system with a fairly recent PDF 
viewer. A friend of mine showed it to some PowerPoint magicians and 
apparently, they were blown away.

I tried
emerge --pretend --verbose beamer
which returned nothing.

Does anybody know whether it is in portage - and if so, under what name?

Most probably. I'll try it out.

All this is just *true*
(You can also do some fantastic things with ConText)

Hi friends,

Sorry for a small hack to the thread. I tried to emerge latex-beamer.
I've app-text/tetex installed in my computer, which is blocking
latex-beamer.

# emerge -pv latex-beamer

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[blocks B     ] >=app-text/tetex-3.0 (is blocking dev-tex/xcolor-2.00-r1)
[blocks B     ] >=app-text/tetex-3.0 (is blocking dev-tex/pgf-0.64-r1)
[blocks B     ] >=app-text/tetex-3.0 (is blocking dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.00-r1)
[ebuild  N    ] dev-tex/xcolor-2.00-r1  455 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-tex/pgf-0.64-r1  356 kB
[ebuild  N    ] dev-tex/latex-beamer-3.00-r1  2,482 kB

Please guide me to install latex-beamer.

Sorry friends, I just checked that the version of tetex (3.0_p1-r3)
includes beamer :) .

Alright, if that is the case I have it installed already. The questions is, 
why doesn't a related document class show up in LyX? A friend of mine told me 
there should be a "beamer" class.

I don't know much about LyX, but there are many references to it in the
'beameruserguide', which in many respects is a very valuable document.

Where is that beast? I did a
find . -name "*beamer*" -print
in /usr/doc but nothing came up.

Try this: /usr/share/doc/tetex-*/latex/beamer/beameruserguide.pdf.
There are also some examples.

I suggest to read also the pgfuserguide in order to include pictures
in your presentation:
/usr/share/doc/tetex-*/latex/pgf/pgfuserguide.pdf.

(Of course, you should have emerged tetex with the doc use flag ;-).

Bye.

The latex-beamer package includes a beamer.layout for LyX. This file is 
missing in the tetex 3.0 distribution.

Copy this file to /usr/share/lyx/layouts and run Tools/Reconfigure from 
LyX's menu.

HTH...
