Content is created +in a `frame` environment, each of which can be divided up into a number of +slides (actual output pages). A simple 'action' notation is used to specify +which material appears on each slide within a frame. The class supports a +range of environments to enable complex slide relationships to be constructed. + +The appearance of slides is controlled by a template system. Many of the +elements of slides can be adjusted by setting simple key-based values in +the preamble. More complex changes can be implemented by altering specific, +targeted definitions without needing to re-write entire blocks of code. This +allows a variety of visual appearances to be selected for the same content +source. + +## License + +The `beamer` class is made available under the LaTeX Project Public License +(LPPL) and the GNU Public License (GPL). See the information in +[LICENSE](LICENSE.md) for information on licensing. |
