SLIDES - BEAMERI This document illustrates the appearance of a

presentation created with the shell Slides - Beamer.I The LATEX Beamer document class produces

presentations, handouts, and transparency slides astypeset PDF files.

I DVI output is not available.I The class provides

I Control of layout, color, and fontsI A variety of list and list display mechanismsI Dynamic transitions between slidesI Presentations containing text, mathematics, graphics,

and animationsI A single document file contains an entire Beamer

presentation.I Each slide in the presentation is created inside a

frame environment.I To produce a sample presentation in SWP or SW,

typeset this shell document with PDFLATEX .

BEAMER FILESI The document class base file for this shell isbeamer.cls.

I To see the available class options, choose Typeset,choose Options and Packages, select the Class Optionstab, and then click theModify button.

I This shell specifies showing all notes but otherwiseuses the default class options.

I The typesetting specification for this shell documentuses these options and packages with the defaultsindicated:

USING THIS SHELL

I The front matter of this shell has a number of sampleentries that you should replace with your own.

I Replace the body of this document with your owntext. To start with a blank document, delete all of thetext in this document.

I Changes to the typeset format of this shell and itsassociated LATEX formatting file (beamer.cls) are notsupported by MacKichan Software, Inc. If you wantto make such changes, please consult the LATEXmanuals or a local LATEX expert.

I If you modify this document and export it as “Slides -Beamer.shl” in the Shells\Other\SW directory, it willbecome your new Slides - Beamer shell.

CREATING FRAMES

I All the information in a Beamer presentation iscontained in frames.

I Each frame corresponds to a single presentation slide.I To create frames in a Beamer document,

1. Apply a frame fragment:

I The Frame with title and subtitle fragment starts andends a new frame and includes a title and subtitle.

I The Frame with title fragment starts and ends a newframe and includes a title.

I The Frame fragment starts and ends a new frame.

2. Place the text for the frame between the BeginFrameand EndFrame fields.

3. Enter the frame title and subtitle.If you used the Frame fragment, apply the Frame titleand Frame subtitle text tags as necessary.
