Software installation

Installing LATEX

Mac Installation: Download MacTeX, which can be found onhttp://www.tug.org/mactex/ . LATEXcan then be accessed via

the program TeXShop, which is included in this installation.

Windows Installation: Download proTeXt, which can befound on http://www.tug.org/protext 1. LATEXcan be accessedvia TeXnicCenter, which is included in this installation.

Both the MacTeX and proTeXt downloads are very large:1.2GB and 540MB, respectively.

The interfaces for Macs and PCs are different, however, theLATEX“code” works for both.

Beamer package

Beamer

The package that we will be using to create a slidepresentation in LATEXis called Beamer.

Beamer is very straight forward if you are already familiar withLATEX. If not, it may be a little difficult at first. We are goingto start with the basics of Beamer and build up to moreadvanced topics.




Beamer package

Beamer (cont.)

Pros:

LATEXand Beamer are open source.LATEXand Beamer offer you full control over the design andlayout of your presentation.Elegant math typesetting just like in other LATEXdocuments.Has plenty of built in templates to choose from.Once you are familiar with Beamer you can design your owntemplate.

Cons:

If you’re note familiar with LATEXmay take a while to get usedto the functions.There are no drag and drop options.




Example template

Example template

Download the following zipped folder to your desktop

http://www.stat.ucla.edu/∼crundel/SCC/beamerTemp.zip

Unzip the file (on a Mac, double-click). beamerTemp’s contents:

beamerTemp.tex

three image files:

latex.jpgpowerpoint.jpgwishiwerethere.jpg.

beamerTemp.tex follows the rest of this presentation and is filledwith examples and extra comments. Open this file now.



http://www.stat.ucla.edu/~crundel/SCC/beamerTemp.zip


Example template

Commenting

Return to the basic file you just created. Whats with all the red(or gray in Windows)? These are comments, which is writing thatwill be ignored by LATEX. Comments are made by using the percentsymbol: %.

Any text following a % on that line only will be ignored by LaTeX.




Compiling

CompilingHit command-T or go to Typeset.The first time you compile a document you will be asked tosave your document.




Compiling

Files from the compile

LATEXtakes the .tex document and it produces a bunch of otherfiles.

While each of these files has a purpose, only one file - in additionto the original LATEXfile - is of interest: the PDF. As more methodsof LATEXare used, this list of LATEXoutput files might grow... butmost can be ignored for most of the time.




Slideshow

Slideshow

To view your slides as a slide show, open the PDF documentproduced by LATEXthrough Finder and go to View → Slideshow.

Click on the Fit to Screen button for full screen slides.

Console and errors

ConsoleWhen the code was compiled, two windows popped up. Theconsole tells you what LATEXis doing when it reads (compiles) thedocument. If you have made an error (or just did something thatLATEXdoesnt like), the console will tell you. If the error is critical,LATEXwill stop compiling:

While it is always good to fix the problem immediately (hit), in some cases you can continue compiling by hitting return

on the keyboard.Colin Rundel [email protected]



Console and errors

Errors are inevitable

Errors are both inevitable and common withLATEX. To help identifyerrors, it is recommended that you compile frequently to verifyyour output matches what you anticipated. (You can continueworking while a document compiles.)Common errors that will make more sense as we go along...

Misspelling a command

Not escaping special characters

Not balancing {braces}Not balancing $’s

Not balancing out beginning/ending environments (e.g.\begin{document} and \end{document})

Themes

Themes

There are five theme categories in beamer:

1 Presentation Themes - Slide template2 Color Themes - Color scheme for slide template3 Font Themes4 Inner Themes5 Outer Themes

We will mostly focus on the first two in this presentation.




Themes

Choosing a theme\usetheme[option]{name}The main difference between v3.0 and v2.2 is Beamer themesOld themes: bars, boxes, classic, default, lined, plain, shadow,sidebar, sidebardark, sidebardarktab, sidebartab, split, tree,treebarsNew themes:

Without navigation bar: default, boxes, Bergen, Madrid,Pittsburgh, RochesterWith a tree-like navigation bar: Antibes, JuanLesPins,MontpellierWith a TOC sidebar: Berkeley, PaloAlto, Goettingen,Marburg, HannoverWith a mini frame navigation: Berlin, Ilmenau, Dresden,Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Singapore, SzegedWith section and subsection titles: Copenhagen, Luebeck,Malmoe, Warsaw

The best way to decide which theme to use is to try them alland choose the one you think serves your presentation thebest. In this presentation we are using the Frankfurt theme.




Themes

Antibes theme




Layout options

Layout options

[slidestop]: puts frame titles on the top left corner(default=[slidescentered])

[compress]: makes all navigation bars as small as possible(default=[uncompressed])

Changing the color of navigation bars and titles:

[blue]: default color scheme[red]: changes navigation bars and titles to a reddish color[brown]: changes navigation bars and titles to a brownishcolor[blackandwhite]: good for transparencies




Output options

Output options

Default: PDF screen (size 128mm × 96 mm)

[handout]: for PDF handouts.

[trans]: for PDF transparency.

[notes=hide/show/only]: for notes. Hide notes (default),add notes to the PDF screen, or notes only PDF.




Frame options

Frame options

[plain]: for plane frame style (no navigation bars)

[fragile]: for using verbatim environment andverb command (useful for presenting R output)

[allowframebreaks]: for automatic split of frames if thecontents do not fit in a single slide

[shrink]: for shrinking the contents to fit in a single slide(be careful when using this, it is important to not put toomuch information in each slide, it may make it difficult for theaudience to follow your presentation)

[squeeze]: for squeezing vertical space.




Presentation structure

Sections

\section[short section name]{long section name}Short section name is an optional parameter and shows up inthe navigation bar, it is useful if your section names are longand don’t fit in the navigation bar.

Long section name shows up in the table of contents.





Subsections

\subsection[short subsection name]{longsubsection name}Short subsection name is an optional parameter and shows upin the navigation bar, it is usually not necessary as thenavigation bar shows only the current subsection name.

Long subsection name shows up in the table of contents.





Parts

\part[short part name]{long part name}Parts may be useful for very long presentations. Within eachpart you can have sections and subsections.

When using parts, only the current part (and the sections andsubsections within it) will show up in the navigation bar.

At the beginning of each part you can include a cover slideusing \partpage, this will print out the part number andname.

Parts do not automatically show up in the table of contents,therefore require that you manually create the table ofcontents.

Diverse possibilities

Diverse possibilitiesLATEXhas a lot of power to do diverse tasks:

Chemistry figuresCircuitsFeynman diagramsMusical scoresCrossword puzzlesSudoku puzzles

These different applications require packages that are generally notincluded in a basic download of LATEXbut that can typically bedownloaded at no cost.The ability to make elegant documents and figures is one ofLATEX’s major draws. It offers users nearly unlimited control of theirdocuments (even though it might feel a bit out of control at first).
