I had the idea to write this module when I was preparing my own +presentations with \CONTEXT. I wanted to be able to achieve visually +different results without changing my source files, so I wrote different +styles that followed the same logic and provided the same macros. When I +created this module, I had the following requirements in mind: + +\startitemize +\item Most of the styles that are provided are rather sober in + appearance. I use them for my university lectures in the humanities. They + provide a nice but not too distracting background and a lot of space for + presentations with large amounts of text. +\item The module is meant for presentations which will be shown with the + help of a digital projector. Hence, they have no interactive elements + (such as buttons) and no tools for navigation (such as a table of + contents). +\item The module allows for user configurability. It comes with several + predefined styles and some predefined font options. The modular structure + makes it easy to add further styles. +\item Picture placement and changing backgrounds is made easy by predefined + macros. +\stopitemize + +The module provides a simple, basic structure; I think it will be best suited +for beginners or intermediate users of \CONTEXT. It is definitely not meant +to compete with Hans's fuller and fancier presentation modules, and it +offers much less than the \LaTeX\ {\tt beamer} package. On the other hand, +it is much easier to use; you should be able to write your first +presentation after spending five minutes with this manual. + +\section{Installation} + +Installation is easy: just put the files {\tt t-<something>} into a +directory where \TeX\ can see them. For \CONTEXT\ third|-|party modules, +the canonical place would be in one of your {\tt TEXMF} trees, under {\tt + tex/context/third}. If you want to keep things tidy, place them in a +subdirectory {\tt taspresent}. If you just unzip the archive {\tt + taspresent.zip} in a {\tt TEXMF} directory, things will be moved to the +right place automatically. On many \TeX|-|systems, you will have to run +{\tt texhash} after installing new files. To doublecheck whether the system +finds your files, run {\tt kpsewhich t-taspresent.tex} from the command +line; if all goes well, this should return the position of the file you +have just installed. + +\section{Setting up the Module} + +To use the module, you put this line into your source file: + +\startTEX +\usemodule[taspresent][style=,font=,size=,stylecolor=,stylebottom=] +\stopTEX + +The values for the different keys will be explained in the following +sections. + +\section{The {\tt style} Key} + +There are ten options for the {\tt style} key: + +\subsection{\MyStyle{blackblue}} + +This style was inspired by the \quotation{Copenhagen} theme of the \LaTeX\ +{\tt beamer} package. The narrow blue and black stripes at the top and the +bottom of the slides display the date and slidenumber (top) and the title +and author of the presentation. + +\placefigure[here]{The \MyStyle{blackblue} + style}{\externalfigure[blackblue][width=\textwidth]} + +\page + +\subsection{\MyStyle{bluegray}} + +The colors of this style are very subdued and quiet; the interesting thing +is the pagenumber on the border of the margin and text area; this detail +was inspired by Hans's \quotation{split} style ({\tt pre-14}). + +\placefigure[here]{The \MyStyle{bluegray} + style}{\externalfigure[bluegray][width=\textwidth]} + +\page + +\subsection{\MyStyle{bluestripe}} + +This theme is inspired by the \quotation{Berkeley} style of the \LaTeX\ +{\tt beamer} package.

It uses \CONTEXT's {\tt + interactionbar} mechanism to show the progress of the presentation. It +provides much space for text. + +\placefigure[here]{The \MyStyle{darkshade} + style with {\tt stylecolor=blue}}{\externalfigure[blueshade][width=\textwidth]} + +\page + +\subsection{\MyStyle{doubleframe}} + +This style was inspired by Hans's \quotation{green} style ({\tt s-pre-02}).

If you want to develop your +own theme, I would suggest copying one of the style files to another name, +say {\tt MyStyle.tex}, and modifying it to your heart's content: you can +change the colors or define a different background altogether, think of a +different way of displaying titles, different margins, etc. Just be sure to +define all the macros that are needed. After producing your own style, +again, copy it to a place where \TeX\ can find it (such as the same +directory where the source of your presentation resides) and instruct the +module to use your file: + +\startTEX +\usemodule[taspresent][style=MyStyle,font=Times,size=17pt] +\stopTEX + +\section{The {\tt font} Key} + +There is a number of predefined fonts which can be selected by setting the +{\tt font} key. + +\starttabulate[|l|p|] +\NC {\tt LatinModern} \NC typesets in LatinModern Serif\NC \NR +\NC {\tt LatinModernSans} \NC typesets in LatinModern Sans\NC \NR +\NC {\tt Times} \NC the free clone of TimesNew Roman\NC \NR +\NC {\tt Helvetica} \NC the free clone of Helvetica\NC \NR +\NC {\tt Pagella} \NC the tex-gyre clone of Palatino; this will +only work if you have the tex-gyre fonts installed\NC \NR +\stoptabulate + +In addition, there is a value {\tt User}; this will not set a font but +allow you to provide your own settings.

For example, for the samples included here, I have used my own +typescript which defines the Adobe MyriadPro font: + +\startTEX +\usetypescriptfile[type-myriadpro] +\usetypescript[MyriadPro] [texnansi] +\setupbodyfont[MyMyriadPro,ss,\Normalsize] +\stopTEX + +\section{The {\tt size} Key} + +This selects the font size for the main text and defines a corresponding +size for titles. + +\placefigure[here]{Text and title sizes} +{\setupTABLE[column][width=3cm,align=middle] +\bTABLE +\bTR \bTD Value \eTD \bTD Normalsize \eTD \bTD Titlesize \eTD \eTR +\bTR \bTD 16pt \eTD \bTD 16pt \eTD \bTD 25pt \eTD \eTR +\bTR \bTD 17pt \eTD \bTD 17pt \eTD \bTD 27pt \eTD \eTR +\bTR \bTD 18pt \eTD \bTD 18pt \eTD \bTD 28pt \eTD \eTR +\bTR \bTD 19pt \eTD \bTD 19pt \eTD \bTD 30pt \eTD \eTR +\bTR \bTD 20pt \eTD \bTD 20pt \eTD \bTD 30pt \eTD \eTR +\bTR \bTD 21pt \eTD \bTD 21pt \eTD \bTD 30pt \eTD \eTR +\eTABLE} + +\section{Macros} + +The module provides some macros to facilitate the preparation of +presentations. + +\subsection{\typeTEX{\setvariables}} + +Begin your presentation by setting the name of the author(s) and the title +with this macro: + +\startTEX + +\setvariables [taspresent] + [author={Groucho Marx}, + title={Marriage the Chief Cause of Divorce}] +\stopTEX + +\subsection{\typeTEX{\Maketitle}} + +This macro will produce a title page with the author and the title of the +presentation; the look is of course determined by the style of your +presentation. + +\placefigure[here]{A Title Page}{\externalfigure[titlepage][width=\textwidth]} + +\subsection{\typeTEX{\Slidetitle{}}} + +As the name suggests, this macro typesets its argument as the title of the +slide. What the title looks like is determined by the selected presentation +style. + +\subsection{\typeTEX{\PicHoriz}} + +This macro facilitates the placement of landscape images. It takes two +arguments: + +\startTEX +\PicHoriz[image][height=\NormalHeight] +\stopTEX + +The first argument is the name of the image you want to place; the second +argument determines the size. If your picture is not too broad, a height of +\typeTEX{\NormalHeight} will make it fill up the entire text area. If your +picture is too broad, you should set \typeTEX{width=\textwidth}. + +\placefigure[here]{Placement of a horizontal picture}{\externalfigure[horizontal][width=\textwidth]} + +\page + +\subsection{\typeTEX{\PicVert}} + +This macro facilitates the placement of portrait images. It takes three +arguments: + +\startTEX +\PicVert[image][width=\NormalWidth]{Text \\ to go \\ with the picture} +\stopTEX + +Again, the first argument is the name of the image you want to place; the +second argument determines the size. If your picture is not too high, a +width of \typeTEX{\NormalWidth} will make it fill up the entire left half +of the text area. If your picture is too hight, you should set +\typeTEX{height=\textheight}. The third argument is the text that will be +placed opposite the picture. + +\placefigure[here]{Placement of a vertical picture}{\externalfigure[vertical][width=\textwidth]} + +\page + +\subsection{\typeTEX{\CircHoriz}} + +This command works exactly like \typeTEX{\PicHoriz}, but takes an +additional (third) argument. It places a red circle on top of the picture; +the placement and size of this circle is determined by this third argument: + +\startTEX +\CircHoriz[scale=40,x=120,y=80][image][height=\NormalHeight] +\stopTEX + +The {\tt scale} key sets the diameter of the circle (in mm), {\tt x} +and {\tt y} set horizontal and vertical position.

It places a red arrow on top of the picture; +the direction and size of this arrow is determined by this third argument: + +\startTEX +\CircHoriz[direction=135,x=120,y=80][image][height=\NormalHeight] +\stopTEX + +The {\tt direction} key sets the direction into which the arrowhead points, +{\tt x} and {\tt y} set its horizontal and vertical position.

Switching the backgrounds also adjusts parameters like margins or +headers, where this is necessary. There are three commands for setting the +background for title slides, \quotation{horizontal} slides and +\quotation{vertical} slides respectively: + +\startTEX +\titback +\lecback +\picback +\stopTEX + +\section{Handouts} + +The easiest way to make handouts from your slides is post|-|processing the +pdf|-|file of your presentation. If you want to make the handouts from the +slides such as they appear, just run this command in the directory where +your slides are located (of course, put the name of your own presentation +where you see {\tt demo.pdf} in the example; the entire command has to go +in one long line): + +{\tt texmfstart texexec --pdfcombine --combination='2*3' --nobanner + + --result=handout demo.pdf} + +This way, you will get a handout with six slides typeset in two columns per +page. + +If you prefer to have the handouts without the colored background, typeset +your presentation and leave the {\em style} key unset; that way, you will +get a default version without backgrounds and fancy frames. + +\stoptext + +%%% Local Variables: +%%% mode: context +%%% TeX-master: t +%%% End: |
