*************************************************************************

## Quickstart
To use this package load it in a document using beamer and select a layout:

Minimal example:
```
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{handoutWithNotes}
\pgfpagesuselayout{3 on 1 with notes}
\begin{document}
…
\end{document}
```

Currently the following layouts are implemented by this package:

- `1 on 1 with notes landscape`
- `2 on 1 with notes landscape`
- `1 on 1 with notes`
- `2 on 1 with notes`
- `3 on 1 with notes`
- `4 on 1 with notes`

Additionally we support the following package options:

- `slide-frame=true/false` draw a frame around the slides
- `note-frame=true/false` draw a frame around the note pages
- `beamer-notes=true/false` use beamer notepages instead of the area for handwritten notes
- `lines=<Number>` modify the number of lines in the notesbox (default is 8)

Additionally the pgfpages options can be used. for more detailed information use the pdf documentation.
