It has many advantages over + SliTeX. Here are some of the style's special features: + * It is a LaTeX style, rather than another format. + * It is compatible with AmS-LaTeX. + * You can use any fonts that work with LaTeX, including PostScript + fonts and AmSFonts. + * Slides can be landscape and portrait within the same file. + * Color is supported through PostScript. + * The slides can have a frame and a colored background. + * The magnification can be changed with a single command. + * Overlays can be produced from a single slide environment. + * Accompanying notes, such as the text of a presentation, can be put + outside the slide environments. The slides, notes or both together + can then be typeset in a variety of formats. + Some of these features require a PostScript output device. + +FILES: + + Inputs: + seminar.sty : The main style file. + sem-page.sty : Page parameters. + semlayer.sty : The semlayer style option (overlays and color layers). + semhelv.sty : The semhelv style option . + semlcmss.sty : The semlcmss style option. + semcolor.sty : The semcolor style option. + semrot.sty : THe semrot style option. + slidesec.sty : The slidesec style option. + sem-a4.sty : The sem-a4 style option. + xcomment.sty : The macros for omitting notes. + 2up.tex : Macros for printing documents two-up. + 2up.sty : The same as 2up.tex, but with .sty extension. + npsfont.sty : Macros for defining new PostScript fonts with the NFSS. + fancybox.sty : Box tips and tricks for LaTeX. + + Documentation: + sem-user.tex : User's guide for seminar.sty. + sem-user.ind : Index for sem-user.tex. + semsamp1.tex : A sample document for seminar.sty. + semsamp2.tex : Another sample document for seminar.sty. + 2up.doc : Documentation for 2up.tex. + fancybox.doc : Documentation for fancybox.sty. + tvz-hax.sty : For typesetting sem-user.tex and sem-code.tex. + tvz-code.sty : For typesetting sem-code.tex. + tvz-user.sty : For typesetting sem-user.tex. + sem-read.me : This file. + read-me.pst : The read-me file for the PSTricks package. + + Sources: + seminar.doc : Documented code for seminar.sty. + semlayer.doc : Documented code for semlayer.sty. + xcomment.doc : Documented code for xcomment.sty. + sem-make.tex : For extracting code from seminar.doc and semlayer.doc. + sem-code.tex : For typesetting seminar.doc and semlayer.doc. + xc-make.tex : For extracting code from xcomment.doc. + xcomment.tex : For typesetting xcomment.doc. + +GETTING STARTED: + + 1. Put the input files in a directory where your TeX looks for inputs. + + 2. Typeset and print sem-user.tex. + + 3. Read the preface "Getting Started", and then the appendices. + + 4. Typeset semsamp1.tex and semsamp2.tex. + + 5 If upgrading from v0.92, see the changes listed at the end of this + file. If upgrading from v0.91 or earlier, good luck. + +HACKERS: + + The files seminar.doc, semlayer.doc and xcomment.doc contain the + documented code, using Frank Mittelbach's doc system. + See sem-code.tex and xcomment.tex for instructions on typesetting + these files. + See sem-make.tex and xc-make.tex for instruction on extracting + stripped input (.sty) files from these .doc files. + +MORE ABOUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL STYLES AND MACROS: + + The following styles and macros are not specifically for use + with seminar.sty, and hence are not described in detail in + the seminar.sty User's Guide. You do not need to read the + documentation of these files in order to use seminar.sty. + If you have versions on your system that are older than the + ones distributed with seminar.sty, be sure to replace these. + + FANCYBOX.STY: + fancybox.sty is a LaTeX style option with tips and tricks for LR-box + commands. The documentation, fancybox.doc, is extensive. + + 2UP.TEX: + 2up.tex/2up.sty contains macros for typesetting documents in a + two-up format. seminar.sty's \twoup command provides an interface. + 2up.doc is the documentation for 2up.tex. + + NPSFONT.STY: + npsfont.sty contains macros for defining new PostScript fonts + with the New Font Selection Scheme. The documentation is in + npsfont.sty itself. + + XCOMMENT.STY: + xcomment.sty, a LaTeX style option, permits one to typeset only + selected environments, omitting input outside these environments. + See xcomment.tex if you want to typeset the documentation. + + SLIDESEC.STY + slidesec.sty is an experimental file contains sectioning commands + for slide type documents. The documentation is in slidesec.sty + itself. + + +SEMINAR.STY AND PSTRICKS.TEX: + + pstricks.tex is a collection of PostScript macros that is compatible + with most TeX macro packages, including Plain TeX and LaTeX. Included are + macros for color, graphics, rotation, overlays, nodes and much more. + + seminar.sty, combined with the semcolor option, the PSTricks package, + and your favorite macros for including EPS files, make a complete + TeX presentation software package. + + You can probably obtain the PSTricks package from wherever you got + the Seminar package, or try + Princeton.EDU:/pub or Princeton.EDU:/pub/tvz + + You must install the PSTricks package before using the semcolor option. + + seminar.sty will work with pstricks.tex v0.92, and maybe later + versions. + + +ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: + + The author is thankful to Frank Mittelbach for his documentation system. + + Thanks to Sebastian Rahtz for bits of advice, and many users for + comments and bug reports. + +BUGS: + + Too many to list, and who knows what they are anyway. These files are all + preliminary and unstable. Not responsible for neck injuries. + + + Thanks. + +CHANGES: + + v1.0: Included sem-a4.sty file, as a way to let the default papersize + be A4 (The a4 option still works). Added \epsfslidesize to make + it easier to set the slide of eps files with epsf.sty. Fixed bug + which caused the width of second pages of a multi-page slide to + end up too small if the page only contained a quote or similar + environment with reduced margins. + + v0.93a: Fixed bugs so that slides would come out properly with the + 2-up,article and portrait options (together), and so that + slides would be positioned correctly with the portrait style + option. + + v0.93: + + INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES: + + ! Use the a4 option instead of sem-a4. There is not longer a + separate file for a4. + + ! No more \fewnotes, \nonotes. Use \slideplacement instead. + + ! No more \layerstyle, \overlaystyle. + + ! Slide styles are now "left" and "bottom". + + ! No more \ifslides. Use \ifarticle\else. + + ! You must now use the semlayer option to use overlays (in addition + to the semcolor option). + + ! No "down" slide rotation (only "none", "left" and "right". + + ! portrait option is no longer a separate file. + + ! \paperwidth and \paperheight are now ordinary commands, to be set + with \renewcommand. + + ! \slidefonts is now always invoked in slide environments, and never in + the preamble. (But semhelv.sty and semlcmss.sty have changed to + reflect this.) + + ! Method for customizing the slide frames has changed. + \slideframecolor, \slideframearc, \slidefillcolor and + \slideshadowcolor are obsolete. + + ! \landscape command replaced by \printlandscape to avoid conflict with + other style files. (E.g., \def\printlandscape{\special{landscape}}). + + NEW FEATURES: + + + A slide environment can have multiple `pages'. \extraslideheight{len} + controls page cutting. See user's guide for details. + + + \centerslidestrue (default) causes the contents of partially full + slides to be vertically centered in the slide. \centerslidesfalse + causes it to be flush top. + + + New \raggedslides[len] command, for setting + whether right margin in slides is ragged or justified. Default is + \raggedslides. \raggedslides[0pt] gives justified slides. + + + \slideplacement + + + \onlynotestoo + + + \slideskip and \slideshrink for added control over interline space. + + + + New: \slideleftmargini, \slideleftmarginii, \slideleftmarginiii, + \slidelabelsep, \slideitemsep, \slidepartopsep, + \slideparskip, \slideparindent, \slidefootins, \slidefootnotesep, + \slidedisplayskips, \theslidefootnote + + + \input and \endinput now supported for the slidesonly selection. + + + New conditional: \ifportrait + + + \newslideframe + + + \leftsliderotation, \rightsliderotation. + + + New \slidetopmargin, \slidebottommargin, \slideleftmargin, + \sliderightmargin. + + + New notesonly* selection. + + + New \slidesclearpagetrue + + + New \semcm and \semin. + + + New note environment and \noxcomment command, as an alternative + to treating everything outside slide environments as notes. + + + BACKWARDS-COMPATIBLE CHANGES: + + * \maketitle now uses LaTeX's default from article.sty in notes. + + * Bug in article option with the \twoup command fixed. + + * \topmargin in sem-a4 changed from -.75in to 1in. + + * \slidefontsizes is obsolete (but still works). Use \ptsize instead. + + * Page parameters are now in a separate file sem-page.sty. sem-a4.sty + has been changed to reflect this. + + v0.92: + Mostly bug fixes, plus some extra options. The PSTricks package + is no longer distributed with seminar.sty. + + Pre v0.91: + Entirely rewritten. Too many changes to list. Note especially + that system of formats and selections has changed. + +%% END sem-read.me |
