Last word-- Re: insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation

[UD K]

  
  
I finally figured it
out-- the bizarre behavior described in the last message is due
to my using (the default on MX Linux) pdf viewer Qpdfview.  When
I use Evince all works as it should.  Live and learn.

Hi Ehud,

You might have looked into the examples folder in the user directory. This
folder should be empty with fresh lyx installation.

You can find the location of lyx's system directory in Help->About LyX,
this is the directory I meant for you to look, sorry for not clarifying
that.

You can find more information about LyX's directories in Lyx wiki
<https://wiki.lyx.org/LyX/SystemDir>.

Udi

Hi Udi,

There should be an example file for the beamer class in the examples
directory called beamer.lyx, in its appendix there is a url, are you
able to compile this file without any errors?

If so, can you provide a minimal file that demonstrates your error?

Re: insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation

[UD K]

  
  
Hi Murat,
I think you are on the right track.  I do want the active link
to be in the pdf output of the Lyx file, not in the Lyx file
itself.  So I clicked: Insert/Hyperlink in the main Lyx menu. 
However, when I go to the Document/Settings/Pdf properties I
find no "Use Hyperref support" there.  When I select: Use Class
  Defaults the link appears colored in the pdf output, but
it is just as dead and useless. So I feel that some progress has
been made, but not enough to do what I am trying to do.
Thanks,
Ehud Kaplan

And for the link to be active in the compiled PDF documents, I think you need 
to check “Use Hyperref support" in the PDF panel of document properties.

Re: insert a url into a lyx/beamer presentation

[Murat Yildizoglu]

Dear Ehud,
Maybe I have not understood your request. 
Inserting a hyperlink will create an active link in the compiled PDF document 
and not in the document in LyX. Maybe you are looking for the second option. 
Then I do not know if it is possible.

Hi Udi,

There should be an example file for the beamer class in the examples
directory called beamer.lyx, in its appendix there is a url, are you
able to compile this file without any errors?

If so, can you provide a minimal file that demonstrates your error?

Shalom Udi,
Without reading the manual, which provides only minimal
instructions about inserting a url, I did exactly what the
manual recommends, and it did not work, which is why I bothered
the community with my request for help.  I still do not know how
to insert a functioning, clickable url into a lyx/beamer
presentation.
Yours,
Udi

Re: Beamer presentation PDF resolution [RESOLVED]

[Dr Eberhard Lisse]

Thank you also very much for this RTFM!!!

After 10 years of being irritated that the Beamer presentations of mine
leave a black frame in full screen, I now finally found that
aspectratio=1610 removes it.

Tested it with Skim, Acrobat and Preview (and on Zoom) and looks great. 
Need to look at it with a beamer, but nowadays we do our CPD with Zoom 
so I don't have (need) ready access to a beamer anymore. 

On my iPad Mini 5 with sidecar the standard (43?) looks best so I will 
need to try different ratios on the beamer when we go back to F2F. 
Fortunately with Makefile or a for loop it's rather easy to produce a 
PDF in each supported aspect ration and then try every one on the 
beamer and use the one that looks best.

This is great stuff!

greetings, el

Rich,

glad to know it worked. I've found it a while ago as a stackexchange
question (here:
https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/14336/latex-beamer-presentation-package-169-aspect-ratio
), but it seems is in the beamer user guide too:
http://tug.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/beamer/doc/beameruserguide.pdf
in paragraph 8.3

In LyX i think there is lyx/beamer guide, not the complete beamer
manual.

It should go in Class Options -> Custom
Without quote, btw.
In the source view it should be like this:
\documentclass[italian,aspectratio=169]{beamer}

Giovanni,

That explains it.

I'm moving my business marketing/prospecting to use video tutorials on a
YouTube business channel so I need to upload them as 1920x1080 or 1280x720
resolution files.

The beamer output is now in 16:9 aspect ratio, and the softwar I use to
display the PDF for the recorded video tutorials ('impressive') is scaled to
open in a 860x540 dpi window, half the final resolution. I use ffmpeg to
scale it up and it all works fine.

Thanks for adding to my LyX/LaTeX/Beamer knowledge,

Best regards,

Rich

Giovanni,

I must have mis-typed something the first time I tried it as a class option
(of course no quotes) because this time it worked.

I searched the Beamer manual (in LyX) for 'aspectratio' and it found
nothing.

Thanks for your help.

Giovanni,

Where in the Settings should this go? It doesn't work in class options ->
Custom nor in Locay Layout (cannot be validated.)

I found the tool, now I need to learn the proper command line. Turns out
that ffmpeg, the commplete video/audio toolbox can change ratios and, I

Beamer presentation PDF resolution

[Rich Shepard]

I've used LyX (and LaTeX before this) for a very long time to prepare the
slides (visuals) for presentations. They're always produced in a 4:3
resolution ratio and that's how both xpdf and mupdf display them. This works
fine for in-person presentations projected on a screen by an lcd projector.

However, videos for uploading to YouTube need to be in a 16:9 wide screen
ratio. How can I set the PDF output to a 16:9 ratio using either 1920x1080
or 1280x720 resolution?

TIA,

ps. Sorry, pgfpages seems not to support the 6 on 1. Odd. But the Linux

Re: LyX 2.3.1 -- Beamer presentation

That was most certainly not an MWE :-0-O

It's much easier when you remove everything that does not generate the
issue, or the other way around, put only exactly what produces the
issue.  The side effect of this is that it's an iterative method, which
often makes one find the cause :-)-O

Hi,

I couldn't compile the file at first and had to remove all equations for 
some reason. But I guess that is not the problem on your system.


As for the jump, there was a typewriter formatting between your first 
and second frame. I am not sure how it got there or why it causes this 
problem.


You can fix it by removing the separator between the first and second 
frame and adding it again. Or, alternatively, select the separator 
together with the second frame label "Frame (plain)" and reset the 
family via Text Style.


Is that what you were after?

Best,

Do you by chance use Linux? If so, you could do

pdftk yourfile.pdf burst

That will create one file for each page.

If so, it is a bug in the beamer class. I think that the combination fragile + 
overlay is rather problematic in general.

handout derived from beamer presentation partly wrong

[Michael Berger]

Hi all,
in my beamer presentation I use "Frame" and "FragileFrame", some 
associated with "Default Overlay Specification [+-]".

Compiling to PDF shows correct output for both types.

However, the handout produced with Insert > File > Child Document is 
partially defective in "FragileFrame" if associated with "Default 
Overlay Specification [+-]".


The handout shows `[fragile] Frametitle' whereas '*Frametitle*' in bold 
would be correct.
After removing 'Default Overlay Specification' everything pops up as 
expected.


I can work around this by using two different child documents: 
'beamer_for_presentation.lyx' and 'beamer_for_handout.lyx', latter 
stripped from 'Default Overlay Specification' (it looks fine as all 
sub-slides produced by said Specification will not be shown anyway in a 
handout).


Is this a bug?

Cheers,
Michael*

Include movie into BEAMER presentation.

[Rainer M Krug]

OK - I don't have a clue how to get it to work.

I am on a Mac, OS X Mountain Lion.

I read the beamer documentation and also found the \href solution, 

,
| \movie[width=3cm,height=2cm,poster]{}{UNESCO_movie.avi}
| \href{file:open UNESCO_movie.avi}{UNESCO Movie}
`

where the first one works (in Acrobat reader, which I don't like) and I
don't know how to get the second one to work (which I would prefer as it
avoids dependence on Acrobat Reader). I want the movie to open on
Quicktime. How can I do this?

Thanks,

Rainer

I tried the same, but it created overprinting.

I solved it by removing a LyX note before the TOC - now it is working as you

Hi

I am making a beamer presentation and would like to have the table of contents

but as I see it, the frame is automatically created and I do not see a way uf

I've customized a few themes (Warsaw, Madrid, Marburg) to add my college's logo.
 What I did was copy the relevant theme files to a folder in my localtexmf tree,
renamed them (so that they did not collide with the originals), and hacked them.
 Hacking an existing theme is probably faster than cobbling together a new one,
assuming you're happy with most of what the existing theme does.

Which is fine except I really want the Goettingen theme. Having tried a few
themes it seems it doesn't work if you have a theme with a vertical

That's a blow, but at least I now know what is going on.

Adding a logo to beamer presentation

[Graham Smith]

Hello I am trying to add a logo to a beamer presentation Lyx 1.6.7 Ubuntu
10.10  Goettingen theme

I tried just

\logo{\includegraphics[height=0.5cm]{Biocensustraininglogonew.JPG}}

an option in the Beamer instructions both as a preamble and ERT but nothing
happened , no errors no logo. The logo file is in the same directory as the
lyx file.

I then tried:


\usepackage{pgf}
\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{Biocensus-logo}{/home/graham/Dropbox/Lectures/WildlifeLegislation/Biocensustraininglogonew.JPG}
\logo{\pgfuseimage{Biocensus-logo}}


Again no error messages and no logo.

My search through google seems to just confirm the above method of doing
what I am doing, but obviously I am missing something.

Can anyone help.

Many thanks,

Graham

Removing the % was fine.
I tried it myself and succeeded with the absolute path name for the image.
E. g. /Users/stephan/Desktop/mylogo for /Users/stephan/Desktop/mylogo.pdf

I'm using LyX 2.0.0 ...

logo on front slide of beamer presentation

[Marit Elisabeth Klemetsen]

Hi!

My name is Marit and I am working on my thesis presentation in a template
called "beamer-conference-ornate-20min". I am trying to do include the logo
of Stockholm University on the front slide and the instructions I get from
the template are:

"If you have a file called "institution-logo-filename.xxx", where xxx is a
graphic format that can be processed by latex or pdflatex, resp., then you
can add a logo by uncommenting the following:

%\pgfdeclareimage[height=0.5cm]{institution-logo}{institution-logo-filename}

%\logo{\pgfuseimage{institution-logo}}
"
Do I need to install pgf? I hope I can avoid this. I have the logo in .pdf
and in .tif . Can LyX process this? I saved the logo in the same folder as
my lyx document. I removed the % signs guessing that I then am
"uncommenting" the code. I named the file "institution-logo-filename" just
to test it. But it didn't work.
Is there a code to include a logo in pdf format?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Marit

The big problem with pstricks is that it doesn't work with pdflatex.
Should work with xetex, though.

Hi Phil and Liviu,

thanks for your ideas - interesting reading.

I found a solution using tikz:

Based on 
http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/15990/draw-red-x-over-an-external-image-using-pgf-tikz
, I developed the solution attached - as described in the link, the
image is placed in a node, and one can draw.

The nice thing: the inserting of the picture can be done in LyX!

I will look into the pstricks solution, as it sounds also quite easy -
could you post a small example?

Thanks,

Rainer

maybe there is an easier way... but what I usually do is use pstricks with

Re: gif animation in beamer presentation

[Paul A . Rubin]

I'm not sure an animated GIF will work inside a PDF file, but section 14.1 of
the Beamer User Guide (at least, in the latest version) offers various
suggestions for animating images. The images would be in individual files
(unless you used an external program to convert them into a timed "movie", which
is one possibility).

As far as the book goes, would this book be stored as a PDF file?  Obviously a
book cannot contain an animated image (unless you use the "flip book" approach
that is sometimes used for children's books).

Paul

gif animation in beamer presentation

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

Is there a way to include a gif animation in a beamer presentation produced 
with lyx so that a click on it would start the animation? LyX expects a png 
image, if I insert the gif file as it is. 

Ultimately I would like to include several of those gif animations also in a 
book (pdf). If it is not directly possible, perhaps a link would help? But I 
do not know how I would do it (the book is available at a Tuebingen University 
Library service which houses also illustrations separately). 

Help is appreciated

Re: Beamer presentation template

[Paul Rubin]

The most likely explanation is that the Beamer LaTeX package is not installed. 
Since you're on Win 7, you are almost surely using MiKTeX as your LaTeX
distribution.  Run the MiKTeX package manager and look for the Beamer entry.  If
it's not installed, tell the package manager to install it.  Once it's
installed, start LyX, reconfigure (Tools menu), and then restart LyX.  You
should be able to create Beamer docs.

Beamer presentation template

[Aodhan O'Leary]

Hello,

I'm an inexperienced enough LyX user, I know enough to write up and format a
project report starting from scratch into a nice, usable document, however,
I've never had to anything more complicated than learning shortcuts for
putting in math characters. I'm reasonably computer literate (probably more
so than the average person but less that a computer science major) but I've
run into an error I can't deal with.

I'm using LyX 1.6.9 on Windows 7.

I want to create a slideshow. I don't care which format I use, Beamer or
Powerdot so long as I can get it to work. Both bearer.layout and
powerdot.layout are installed in my resources directory. However, when I try
to start a "New from template" using the beamer ornate slideshow, I get the
following error:

"The layout file requested by this document, beamer.layout, is not usable.
This is probably because a LaTeX class of style file required by it is not
available. See the Customization documentation for more information. LyX
will not be able to produce output."

It then opens the LyX file and I can edit the slides away but, as stated,
cannot then convert to a pdf (or, indeed, any output). Basically...help!!

I scanned the archives and couldn't find anything related to exactly this
problem, though I could be searching poorly. Still, any help would be much
appreciated!

You could just add one or the other to the title of each relevant slide -- maybe
in a funky typeface or color, perhaps in a shadowed box.  I'd flush it to the
right.  Alternatively, you could add a small graphic to the title, maybe a
picture of a tool for the application and a picture of someone napping for the
theory?

Alternating Context in a Beamer Presentation

[Srinivas Nedunuri]

I am putting together a beamer presentation in which I alternate between a 
running example and the theory behind the example. How can I get this to 
reflect in the slides? Ideally I'd like something like "Theory" to appear on 
theory slides and "Example" on example slides. Section headings won't really 
do the trick because of the alternation. If that's not possible (or even if 
it is) is there a way to get Lyx to change the background color of a slide 
or some other cue to let the audience know?

thanks

OK - I just checked again, and it is not as straightforward as the other
frames. So a new fragile frame would be a good idea

Completely agreed - I looked at it some time ago and gave up...

OK - I am convinced - verbatim should be separate.

The problem is that a fragile frame is a really complicated beast. On the 
other hand, LyX's frame implementation is complicated as well (have a look at 
the preamble definition of \lyxframe. Marrying these two beasts is a hard 
task.

I just tried it out - when you put [plain] into a ERT as the first thing in
a frame, it shows a plain frame, and the same applies for
[allowframebreaks]. Several options, can be separated by a comma. But it
does NOT work for fragile or containsverbatim.

If this could be changed, so that it works for all options for frames, that
should be sufficient.

For now - LyX 1.6.5 - I would add a frame that contains a listings inset to 
beamerlyxexample.lyx. OK?

I'm thinking about a way to implement fragile frames.

Not true. You just need the "fragile" frame option, which does not work with
\lyxframe.

See my previous post.

Jürgen


Or you can insert the listing as an external material (from an external file 
instead of copying it into the presentation) and then you don't need the fragile 
part.

Have you used TeX code to insert the listing of have you used the listings insert via the menu 
Insert->Program listing?


However, I also get the same error and it seems that the listings package doesn't work together with 
beamer. Can you please prepare a minimal example file, export it to LaTeX and send it to the beamer 
developers. I hope that they know a way to use listings with beamer.

You need to use a "fragile" frame, which is not natively supported by LyX.

* Instead of the "BeginFrame", insert and "EndFrame"
* Then, below, in ERT
  \begin{frame}[fragile]
  \frametitle{Title of the Slide}
* Then the listing
* Finally, again in ERT
  \end{frame}

inserting c code in beamer presentation

[nikunj .]

Hi,

How do we insert c code in lyx beamer presentation?
I am trying to use package listings.

I try the following:

\begin{lstlisting}
union mix_t {
  long l;
  struct {
short hi;
short lo;
} s;
  char c[4];
} mix;
\end{lstlisting}

but I get an error "\begin{lstlistings} ends by \end{bea...@frames!"

Kindly suggest.

Nikunj.
