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: How to make an A4 presentation with Beamer?

[Dr Eberhard W Lisse]

Steve,

you don't need to do anything, because beamer does not produce paper. I
collaborate a lot with a colleague in the US and do need to do anything
for the presentations. For the papers he changes the LyX to Letter if he
wants to print and I to A4 if I want to print.


If you like, you can experiment with stuff like

aspectratio=1610

in the

Documents -> Settings... -> Document Class -> Custom

which you need to read up on (aspect ration) in the (LaTeX)
Beamer Manual.

For your particular issue I would also search for "handout"
in the (LaTeX) Beamer Manual.


The MWE is a TeX document, by the way, not a LyX document.

greetings, el

I've tried various combinations and variants of the following :

\usepackage{geometry}
\special{papersize 29.7cm, 21cm}
\hsize 29.7cm
\vsize 21.0cm
\usepackage[a4paper, total={29.5cm, 20.8cm}]{geometry}
\geometry{letterpaper, landscape, total={11.5in, 8in}}

Some forced the latex program to abort with error, some caused only
a tiny rendering of the slide on a big A4 paper, some caused the
printing to be portrait, when I could print landscape it printed
upside down, what a mess.

Does anyone have a way to use Beamer (not LyX/Beamer) to create a
PDF that can print correctly on a European printer?

Could you please send a MWE, so that we can have a look at it?



That's a good idea, Baris, and I already sent the MWE files to you. In
case anyone else wants to take a crack at it, I'm attaching four MWE
files:

mwe.beamer is the MWE source

mwe.pdf is my attempt at A4. It's upside down, and the print is way
smaller than it's supposed to be.

kk is the shellscript that compiles mwe.beamer into mwe.pdf.

All 3 files go in a single directory, and assuming you have the same
texlive packages I have, it should compile to the same result mine did.

What I want is a PDF, printable on A4, that has the right sized print
and is right side up instead of upside down.

Thanks,

SteveT

Could you please send a MWE, so that we can have a look at it?


That's a good idea, Baris, and I already sent the MWE files to you. In
case anyone else wants to take a crack at it, I'm attaching four MWE
files:

mwe.beamer is the MWE source

mwe.pdf is my attempt at A4. It's upside down, and the print is way
smaller than it's supposed to be.

kk is the shellscript that compiles mwe.beamer into mwe.pdf.

All 3 files go in a single directory, and assuming you have the same
texlive packages I have, it should compile to the same result mine did.

What I want is a PDF, printable on A4, that has the right sized print
and is right side up instead of upside down.

Thanks,

SteveT

AFAIK, Beamer class does not provide slides with A4 or Letter 
dimensions. The default size of slides are smaller than Letter sized 
papers, but when you open them for presentation using a PDF viewer, the 
PDF viewer shows the slides using the whole screen/projector area so you 
do not see any issue with the size. When you print them, the printer 
enlarges it to fit to the page margin, so probably you will not have an 
issue with that either. So the problem is not whether you use 
Letter-sized or A4-sized paper. It is simply Beamer does not provide 
slides with those dimensions. This is what I know, but forums such as 
Stack Exchange will have more correct information on this.


What I do generally is I leave the PDF file as it is, and it is 
generally good enough to see on the screen as PDF viewers will enlarge 
it as necessary. When printing, you can tell the PDF viewer to fit to 
the margins of an A4 or A3 or Letter size paper.


Alternatively, you can print the slides to A4 size with a PDF tool such 
as PDF X-change.


This is not a LyX- problem so, I am not sure if the audience of this 
list has expertise on this matter.

How to make an A4 presentation with Beamer?

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

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

I must have mis-typed something the first time I tried it as a class option

I found the tool, now I need to learn the proper command line. Turns out

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?

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

  With pauses between the points on a slide the note is after the first

Ack, oops, my bad! You do /not/ type the angle brackets, just the action

things like "+" for the current slide.

Not sure this is the best way to go but you can try to add a notes page 
after each slide and print that with two columns of pages on a paper 
(see attachment).


You need to use the "notes" document class option in order to get the 
notes output.


You can probably modify the layout of the notes page.

There is both a NoteItem layout and a Beamer Note in Custom Insets but I 
didn't figure out how to achieve the itemize notes with it. Maybe 
someone else knows?

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,

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

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

Turns out that I also did this in the article document class file I

I am curious: Could be my setup is borked up, but here I thought 
specifying "German" as the document language takes care of inputenc in

Michael,

I have had similar problems with beamer and BibTeX in English when a
name in the bibliography had an accented character (é I think).

I did figure out a workaround, but I don't remember exactly how. I

presentation (beamer) and bibtex inputenc

[Michael Bach]

Dear LyX Users and Developers,

I am using the presentation (beamer) document class with the "german" 
option. I have a BibTeX bibliography that I inserted via the Insert > 
... mechanism.


Now when I try to compile the file, I get inputenc errors. It stems from 
the usage of the german "ß" character in the title of the reference. 
From the full log:


! Package inputenc Error: Keyboard character used is undefined
(inputenc)in inputencoding `latin9'.

Now I am wondering why this does not work in the presentation (beamer) 
document class when it does work in another file with the article 
document class.


Any ideas?

Personally I use Impressive [1][2] (instead of Evince or any other PDF
reader) to display my LyX-created Beamer PDFs. Impressive is, well,
impressive. Other than benefiting from left/right mouse clicks to go
to next/prev slide, you get many additional features: Page
transitions, Overview screen, Highlight boxes, Spotlight effect,
zooming, a time tracker, etc. (To some these would be useless
eye-candy, to others genuinely useful features. It may well depend on
the specific presentation, audience and setting.)

There is also an open ticket [3] that, when fixed (patch available),
would improve the process: LyX -> Beamer -> Impressive.

Hmm, is there a Beamer command that would force the slides to always
display math sequentially, line-by-line? I guess this is SF, but what
about word-by-word?

Re: LyX as a presentation tool

[menoncin]

I sometimes use LyX as a presentation tool myself.

To what has already been written, I add that for showing how a graph  
is created step by step I use JPicEdt

http://jpicedt.sourceforge.net/site/index.php?language=en
which is a WONDERFUL software by itself but whose LaTeX code can be  
copied in LyX (in an ERT cell) and shown through the preview tool.

Hi Ronen,

Very interesting ideas --- thanks for sharing. It occurs to me you could
get a good start to the 2-projector solution you describe by telling your
monitor setup that the screens are above & below, then stretching your LyX
window vertically "across" the two. Then when you reach the end of the
"right" screen, its contents would be scrolled onto the "left" screen.

On the topic of class presentations using LyX, I thought I'd also share my
current experience.

Since the equations I deal with in my current teaching are too cumbersome
to type in real time (even with LyX), I have been using beamer to generate
projector slides. However, I really wanted fine-grained control of display
to support the kind of interactive development of the material in class
that one can achieve with a blackboard.

I discovered that (with a little ugliness) it is possible to use some of
beamer's more complex visibility constructs (e.g., \only and \onslide)
inside math mode, in ways that are not obvious from the beamer
documentation. I've attached an excerpt from one of my lectures to
illustrate what I mean. This kind of control lets you replicate many
aspects of dynamically writing and erasing on the blackboard; and in fact,
I have found the process of constructing these sequences a valuable tool in
thinking about how to arrange and develop the material in class. (For
drawings or additional clarifications, I still use the blackboards adjacent
to the projector screen, but there usually few enough of these that I don't
need to erase anything.)

With fine-grained animation, the lecture presentations end up being
hundreds of PDF pages, but I have had no problems with this because:

* to generate a print version with no animations, I need only add "handout"
under Document >> Settings >> Document Class >> Class options >> Custom

* the presentation PDF compresses to nearly the same size as the handout PDF

* going forward and backward during presentation can be done very quickly
(at least, in the evince document viewer) by simply holding down the Page
Up or Page Down key, or using beamer's automatically inserted hyperlinks.

As Ronen described, I find the freedom of not writing and erasing on the
blackboard greatly improves my ability to face the class and devote
attention to leading the presentation and discussion of the material. For a
small class, I actually stay seated most of the time to improve the
ergonomics.

In terms of LyX development, certainly the ability to insert arbitrary ERT
in math mode would ease this approach, though this is clearly true for many
other things as well, and macros always provide a workaround. Further
beamer integration generally could be nice, but none of this is really
holding me up.

The only idea I've thought about implementing near-term is a setup I saw
described somewhere that allows the presenter to have two separate document
viewers (one on the laptop, one on the projector) both operating in
presentation mode simultaneously, that both advance with a key press. This
is not LyX-specific, and would allow the presenter to either (a) play a
copy of the presentation "ahead" on the laptop to see what's coming next,
or (b) use the "notes" features of beamer or other packages (or use a
lecture notes file) to guide verbal delivery.

I'd be interested to hear what other instructors have come up with.

Hi Ronen,

I can't help you with your LyX questions because I know little about
the LyX authoring environment, but I can give you one tip that's helped
me a heck of a lot.

When presenting, I use one of those wireless optical mice they sell for
between $10 and $20. I make sure the mouse is:

1) 1000dpi and
2) Can be used up to 30 meters away.
3) Has a scroll wheel between the left and right mouse buttons

Then I can use the mouse normally while I'm at the computer, but can
walk around the audience using the left and right mouse button to
advance or go back a slide (I use Evince with a PDF presentation, so
this works). Also, I can use the scroll wheel to quickly advance or go
backward.

I'm not sure how well this would adapt to LyX as the presentation
medium, but it's worth a try.

LyX as a presentation tool

[Ronen Abravanel]

Hello,

I've been using LyX for writing notes and papers for the last ~8 years, and
lately I started using lyx in a new form, that might be of an interest to
others: As a presentation tool.

The general idea is simple: As I teach (modern physics for EE students),
instead of writing on a white-board with my awful handwrite, I just type
the lesson into a computer connected into a projector. Both text and math.
I stand in front of the class, talking to them, looking at them, and type.
Occasionally I leave my laptop and draw something on the board, or do some
demonstration, For illustrations, I'm either insert them into the document
(god bless inset-insert graphics and the minibuffer), or, if the figures
are simple, and I find that it may be instructive to draw them gradually, I
draw on the board.  If I wont to remind the students something from earlier
part of the class, I split the display into Left\Right half, and scroll one
of them up while continue working on the other half.

This methods have many advantages

Over handwriting on the board:
* The main one, the the one lead me to do it: Not forcing the student dose
not have to read my bad handwrite, and I don't spend much time on writing
neatly.
* I'm always facing the class -- I'm not turn my back to them as I write
(only look little bit down, at my screen), so I can see them, and they can
see my face and hear me better.
* When I have complex illustration, I can just add it to the document..

And over pre-made slides:
* Saves time -- I do not have to typeset slides in advance (Also:
Beamer+Hebrew+LyX is a disaster, so it would force me to turn into OO\MS PP
or something like that, which is almost as bad)
* Dynamic -- I can write notes and skip\add steps and lines during the
class.
* Slow -- Doing math on slides is bad. Most of the time, the slides are too
crowded to understand, and fill-up at once, and not character by character
as one would like on the board. When I'm typing with the class, I'm keeping
on slow paste, so the can understand the math and follow by it.

But also some disadvantages:
* My screen is about 1/4 the size of the whiteboard, and LyX is rather
lossy in screen-space. So, instead of just pointing into other parts of the
board, I have to split\scroll.
* The class's screen reaches to low, So, in order to let the students see
the all screen, I switch into fullscreen mode, and then add toolbars from
below in order to push the effective screen upwards.
* When writing in lyx, one always writes on the bottom part of the screen.
There is no good way  (after writing more then screen-full of text) to
start from top, add lines from beneath and then shift to a "new" screen
when I fill it.
* It's rather ugly when I write \latexCommand in red, and just when I'm
finish its render into symbol.

Few points one can improve (mostly theoretical. some will demand big many
expanse from my university, and some are "Itches I should scratch when I'll
have time to code")
* Create half-slide-mode in lyx: Copy one document into another, character
by character, When I'm pressing a single key. It will require preparation
(but anyhow, I prepared the lesson in advance as a lyx document... I don't
remember all by heart , and anyway, it's still a lot easier then creating
lyx\beamer slides), but it will save effort and mistakes during the class ,
while still enable grate flexibility.
* I wish I had 2 VGA output and 2 projectors, and LyX would switch from the
end of one screen into the top of a new-clean-page at the other screen
whenever I fill out the 1st. That would be just perfect :-P.
* I should get something higher then the teacher's table to put my laptop
on. For now, I have to bend over it, and my back is not happy.

Anyway, I'm doing it for a month now,  3 hours a week, and the  experience
for both me and my students is positive. If you have to teach stuff and
don't wont to write on a board, you may consider using lyx. it's fun!

Oh, and make absolutely sure---and this is a nasty pitfall since there
is no obvious reason for this happening---that you keep your 'PDF
page' in a Standard environment and default justified paragraph. If
you change the justification to 'center' then expect stray blank
pages.

Yes. At any point you want to include a PDF page as external material,

\setbeamertemplate{background canvas}{}

as ERT, or use the environment 'EndFrame' instead of the

Or maybe pgfpages (part of the pgf package by the beamer author), where you 
can put several slides on a (e.g. A4) paper; I suppose this makes it easier to 
include other (e.g. A4-sized) documents.

See the pgfmanual (sec. 58) for detals.

Unfortunately I don't have time at hand and do not know the inner workings
of html5 - I ust saw the org-mode exporter and thought - would be nice for
LyX.

Let's hope that somebody finds some time for this. Do you have a bug / issue
tracker for eLyXer to put the feature request in?

It sounds interesting, but I am not looking into it at the moment.
However (and here comes the inevitable contribution request), I accept
patches :)  If you try it you will find eLyXer very flexible in terms
of twisting its output.

I agree.

Thanks,

html5 presentation support?

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I just saw some html5 presentations (e.g. http://slides.html5rocks.com ) and
they seem to a be a great alternative to pdf presentations with beamer et
al. Is there anybody looking into the possibility of creating those via e.g.
eLyXer?

I think it would be absolutely great if this could be included in LyX. For
an example of export exporter for emacs org-mode, see
https://gist.github.com/509761

Cheers,

Rainer

I may well try that some time, but for now I will have to compromise.
