The one advantage of the Beamer package, for those that require it, is that it supports pdflatex, which the others do not. Though, it can be used with dvips/latex + ps2pdf, where needed.
Has anyone else hit the problem that sometimes occurs with embedded PostScript graphics generated by R when viewed in full-screen mode using Adobe Acrobat Reader in Linux? Yes, its _that_ specific.
You get black areas all round your graphic. It looks a mess. Does it in acroread4 and 5. But only Linux, and only full-screen mode.
I took some time looking at this and found it happened only when the EPS graphic had a clipping path set in some way. But I also stumbled upon a weird solution:
"Start 'acroread' on your pdf file, then do the following. From the menus, go to 'Edit...' then 'Preferences...' and 'Full Screen'. Change the default transition to 'No Transition'. Even if it already is on 'No Transition', in which case change it to something else and then back again. Now OK that dialog and get back to the main window. Go to full-screen mode (hint: just hit Ctrl-L for full screen mode). All should be well. You may wish to do this before you commence your talk."
I don't know why this works, but it does. If this has bitten you, and you find xpdf not as good as acroread, then it might help.
Note that I dont think there's anything wrong with the EPS coming out of R, it just manifests itself with that EPS. R could possibly work around it but that would probably be a huge waste of time.
