一直觊觎Latex的排版效果,但是一方面因为office用起来还算比较顺手,对于使用了多年的东西,一旦放弃还是比较难的,就像当初逼着自己把机器上的XP卸掉而只能用Debian的时候所经历的那种难熬的感觉一样;另一方面是因为听身边的人说Latex的命令很多,要记住比记linux shell命令还要麻烦。所以一直在享受着office所带来的便利和忍受着难看的文章排版效果之间煎熬着。
废话不再多说,昨儿把CTEX装上了,然后看了没几页的Latex用户指南,突然想起来用latex写PPT应该比写article, report之类的麻烦,所以又google了一把,发现beamer不错,然后又开始倒腾,在MikTex package manager中安装了beamer, pgf, xcolor三个包。Beamer能用了,搜到了一堆关于如何使用beamer的介绍,我参考了如下两个:

经过一个下午的努力,我尝试写了我的第一个用Beamer做的presentation,简单的代码如下:
/documentclass[slidestop, compress, mathserif]{beamer} /usetheme{Antibes} % THIS THEME WILL GENERATE THE TREE STRUCTURE OF THE MENU /usecolortheme{lily} % COLOR THEME SETUP /usefonttheme{serif} % FONT THEME USED IN THIS PRESENTATION /author{William Chan} /title{Formalization of XXXX} /institute{CHINA} /usefoottemplate{/vbox{ /tinycolouredline{structure} {/color{white}/textbf{/insertshorttitle/hfill /insertpagenumber} } }} %/tinycolouredline{structure!25} %{/color{white}/textbf{/insertshortauthor/hfill /insertshortinstitute}} /begin{document} /beamertemplateshadingbackground{green}{yellow} % THE HEADER FRAME WITH TITLE /begin{frame} /titlepage /end{frame} % THE SECOND FRAME /section{Introduction} /begin{frame} /frametitle{Introduction} xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. // /pause The analysis framework including: // /begin{itemize} /pause/item xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /pause/item xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /pause/item xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx /begin{itemize} /item ````````````` /item ````````````` /item ````````````` /item ````````````` /end{itemize} /end{itemize} /end{frame} % THE THIRD FRAME /section{Introduction} /subsection{Background} /begin{frame} /frametitle{Background} /textrm{ /quad Currently, we still analysis the xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx./// /quad Bxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx } /end{frame} % THE FOURTH FRAME /section{Design} /subsection{Formalization} /begin{frame} The formalization of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx can be divided to be /emph{THREE} parts./// // /fbox{PART I}// /setbeamercolor{uppercol}{fg=black, bg=brown} /setbeamercolor{lowercol}{fg=blue, bg=green!30} /begin{beamerboxesrounded}[upper=uppercol, lower=lowercol, shadow=true]{DEFINITION} /[(method)/hfill /quad /zeta /in /mathbb{M}=/{main, m_{create}, m_{join}, m_{exit}, /ldots/} /] /[(local / var)/hfill /quad /upsilon /in /mathbb{V} /] /[(alloc / site) /quad s /in /mathbb{S} /] /[(abstract/ object) /quad o /in /mathbb{O} = /mathbb{S}^{0} /cup /mathbb{S}^{1} /cup /mathbb{S}^{2} /cup /ldots /] /end{beamerboxesrounded} /end{frame} % THE FIFTH FRAME /section{Design} /subsection{Formalization} /begin{frame} /fbox{PART II} /// /setbeamercolor{uppercol}{fg=black, bg=brown} /setbeamercolor{lowercol}{fg=blue, bg=green!30} /begin{beamerboxesrounded}[upper=uppercol, lower=lowercol, shadow=true]{RELATION} /[(call/ graph) /quad cg /subseteq (/mathbb{C} /times /mathbb{C}) /] /[(syn) /quad syc /subseteq /mathbb{C} /rightharpoonup /mathbb{V} /] /end{beamerboxesrounded} /end{frame} % THE SIXTH FRAME /section{Design} /subsection{Formalization} /begin{frame} /fbox{PART III} /// /setbeamercolor{uppercol}{fg=black, bg=brown} /setbeamercolor{lowercol}{fg=blue, bg=green!30} /begin{beamerboxesrounded}[upper=uppercol, lower=lowercol, shadow=true]{DESCRIPTION} /[ locas /subseteq /{ x | /exists n: x /in locas_n/} /] /end{beamerboxesrounded} /end{frame} /end{document}
上述代码的文本内容进行了删减
上述代码中用到若干基本的beamer中的命令:
1 首先在文档开头指定beamer文件的格式和主题:
文档主题: /usetheme{Antibes} % THIS THEME WILL GENERATE THE TREE STRUCTURE OF THE MENU
颜色主题: /usecolortheme{lily} % COLOR THEME SETUP
字体主题: /usefonttheme{serif} % FONT THEME USED IN THIS PRESENTATION
2 指定页脚格式:
使用页脚的模板,模板参数是在页脚的左下部列出本文档的题目,在右下角中列出页码:
/usefoottemplate{/vbox{ /tinycolouredline{structure} {/color{white}/textbf{/insertshorttitle/hfill /insertpagenumber} } }}
3 指定背景色:
/beamertemplateshadingbackground{green}{yellow} 本文档采用底部是绿色,顶部是黄色的渐变色(shading)作为背景
4 指定当前frame在文档中的位置,亦即在每一张slide顶部列出文档的树状结构图:
/section{Introduction}
/subsection{Background}
5 罗列item:/pause用于定时,表现一定的动画效果
/begin{itemize}
/pause/item xxxx
/pause/item xxxx
/end{itemize}
6 指定一个block:本文档中的block形状为beamerboxesrounded,用命令/setbeamercolor设置其背景色和前景色
/setbeamercolor{uppercol}{fg=black, bg=brown}
/setbeamercolor{lowercol}{fg=blue, bg=green!30}
/begin{beamerboxesrounded}[upper=uppercol, lower=lowercol, shadow=true]{DESCRIPTION}
/[ locas /subseteq /{ x | /exists n: x /in locas_n/} /]
/end{beamerboxesrounded}
上述这些内容对于书写一般的presentation已经基本够用了,对于更加复杂的应用和命令,像使用更加复杂的动画等等,还需要深入研究。
