\section{Structuring a Presentation: The Interactive Global Structure}
\label{section-nonlinear}
\subsection{Adding Hyperlinks and Buttons}
To create anticipated nonlinear jumps in your talk structure, you
can add hyperlinks to your presentation. A hyperlink is a text
(usually rendered as a button) that, when you click on it, jumps the
presentation to some other slide. Creating such a button is a
three-step process:
\begin{enumerate}
\item
You specify a target using the command |\hypertarget| or (easier)
the command |\label|. In some cases, see below, this step may be
skipped.
\item
You render the button using |\beamerbutton| or a similar
command. This will \emph{render} the button, but clicking it will
not yet have any effect.
\item
You put the button inside a |\hyperlink| command. Now clicking it
will jump to the target of the link.
\end{enumerate}
\begin{command}{\hypertarget\sarg{overlay specification}%
\marg{target name}\marg{text}}
If the \meta{overlay specification} is present, the \meta{text} is
the target for hyper jumps to \meta{target name} only on the
specified slide. On all other slides, the text is shown
normally. Note that you \emph{must} add an overlay specification to
the |\hypertarget| command whenever you use it on frames that have
multiple slides (otherwise |pdflatex| rightfully complains
that you have defined the same target on different slides).
\example
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\item<1-> First item.
\item<2-> Second item.
\item<3-> Third item.
\end{itemize}
\hyperlink{jumptosecond}{\beamergotobutton{Jump to second slide}}
\hypertarget<2>{jumptosecond}{}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}
\articlenote
You must say |\usepackage{hyperref}| in your preamble to use this
command in |article| mode.
\end{command}
The |\label| command creates a hypertarget as a side-effect and the
|label=|\meta{name} option of the |\frame| command creates a label
named \meta{name}|<|\meta{slide number}|>| for each slide of the frame
as a side-effect. Thus the above example could be written more easily
as:
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}[label=threeitems]
\begin{itemize}
\item<1-> First item.
\item<2-> Second item.
\item<3-> Third item.
\end{itemize}
\hyperlink{threeitems<2>}{\beamergotobutton{Jump to second slide}}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}
The following commands can be used to specify in an abstract way what
a button will be used for.
\begin{command}{\beamerbutton\marg{button text}}
Draws a button with the given \meta{button text}.
\example |\hyperlink{somewhere}{\beamerbutton{Go somewhere}}|
\articlenote
This command (and the following) just insert their argument in
|article| mode.
\begin{element}{button}\yes\yes\yes
When the |\beamerbutton| command is called, this template is used
to render the button. Inside the template you can use the command
|\insertbuttontext| to insert the argument that was passed to
|\beamerbutton|.
\begin{templateoptions}
\itemoption{default}{}
Typesets the button with rounded corners. The fore- and
background of the \beamer-color |button| are used and also the
\beamer-font |button|. The border of the button gets the
foreground of the \beamer-color |button border|.
\end{templateoptions}
The following inserts are useful for this element:
\begin{itemize}
\iteminsert{\insertbuttontext} inserts the text of the current
button. Inside ``Goto-Buttons'' (see below) this text is
prefixed by the insert |\insertgotosymbol| and similarly for
skip and return buttons.
\iteminsert{\insertgotosymbol} This text is inserted at the
beginning of goto buttons. Redefine this command to change the
symbol.
\example
|\renewcommand{\insertgotosymbol}{\somearrowcommand}|
\iteminsert{\insertskipsymbol} This text is inserted at the
beginning of skip buttons.
\iteminsert{\insertreturnsymbol} This text is inserted at the
beginning of return buttons.
\end{itemize}
\end{element}
\begin{element}{button border}\no\yes\no
The foreground of this color is used to render the border of
buttons.
\end{element}
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\beamergotobutton\marg{button text}}
Draws a button with the given \meta{button text}. Before the text, a
small symbol (usually a right-pointing arrow) is inserted that
indicates that pressing this button will jump to another ``area'' of
the presentation.
\example |\hyperlink{detour}{\beamergotobutton{Go to detour}}|
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\beamerskipbutton\marg{button text}}
The symbol drawn for this button is usually a double right
arrow. Use this button if pressing it will skip over a
well-defined part of your talk.
\example
\begin{verbatim}
\frame{
\begin{theorem}
...
\end{theorem}
\begin{overprint}
\onslide<1>
\hfill\hyperlinkframestartnext{\beamerskipbutton{Skip proof}}
\onslide<2>
\begin{proof}
...
\end{proof}
\end{overprint}
}
\end{verbatim}
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\beamerreturnbutton\marg{button text}}
The symbol drawn for this button is usually a left-pointing
arrow. Use this button if pressing it will return from a detour.
\example
\begin{verbatim}
\frame<1>[label=mytheorem]
{
\begin{theorem}
...
\end{theorem}
\begin{overprint}
\onslide<1>
\hfill\hyperlink{mytheorem<2>}{\beamergotobutton{Go to proof details}}
\onslide<2>
\begin{proof}
...
\end{proof}
\hfill\hyperlink{mytheorem<1>}{\beamerreturnbutton{Return}}
\end{overprint}
}
\appendix
\againframe<2>{mytheorem}
\end{verbatim}
\end{command}
To make a button ``clickable'' you must place it in a command like
|\hyperlink|. The command |\hyperlink| is a standard command of the
|hyperref| package. The \beamer\ class defines a whole bunch of other
hyperlink commands that you can also use.
\begin{command}{\hyperlink\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{target
name}\marg{link text}\sarg{overlay specification}}
Only one \meta{overlay specification} may be given.
The \meta{link text} is typeset in the usual way. If you click
anywhere on this text, you will jump to the slide on which the
|\hypertarget| command was used with the parameter \meta{target
name}. If an \meta{overlay specification} is present, the
hyperlink (including the \meta{link text}) is completely
suppressed on the non-specified slides.
\end{command}
The following commands have a predefined target; otherwise they behave
exactly like |\hyperlink|. In particular, they all also accept an
overlay specification and they also accept it at the end, rather than
at the beginning.
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkslideprev\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps one slide back.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkslidenext\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps one slide forward.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkframestart\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the current frame.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkframeend\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the current frame.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkframestartnext\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the next frame.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkframeendprev\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the previous frame.
\end{command}
The previous four command exist also with ``|frame|'' replaced by
``|subsection|'' everywhere, and also again with ``|frame|'' replaced
by ``|section|''.
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkpresentationstart\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the presentation.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkpresentationend\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the presentation. This
\emph{excludes} the appendix.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkappendixstart\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the appendix. If there
is no appendix, this will jump to the last slide of the document.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkappendixend\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the appendix.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkdocumentstart\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the presentation.
\end{command}
\begin{command}{\hyperlinkdocumentend\sarg{overlay specification}\marg{link text}}
Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the presentation or, if
an appendix is present, to the last slide of the appendix.
\end{command}
\subsection{Repeating a Frame at a Later Point}
Sometimes you may wish some slides of a frame to be shown in your main
talk, but wish some ``supplementary'' slides of the frame to be shown
only in the the appendix. In this case, the |\againframe| commands is
useful.
\begin{command}{\againframe\sarg{overlay
specification}\opt{|[<|\meta{default overlay specification}|>]|}\oarg{options}\marg{name}}
\beamernote
Resumes a frame that was previously created using |\frame|
with the option |label=|\meta{name}. You must have used this option,
just placing a label inside a frame ``by hand'' is not enough. You
can use this command to ``continue'' a frame that has been
interrupted by another frame. The effect of this command is to call
the |\frame| command with the given \meta{overlay specification},
\meta{default overlay specification} (if present), and
\meta{options} (if present) and with the original frame's contents.
\example
\begin{verbatim}
\frame<1-2>[label=myframe]
{
\begin{itemize}
\item<alert@1> First subject.
\item<alert@2> Second subject.
\item<alert@3> Third subject.
\end{itemize}
}
\frame
{
Some stuff explaining more on the second matter.
}
\againframe<3>{myframe}
\end{verbatim}
The effect of the above code is to create four slides. In the first
two, the items 1 and~2 are hilighted. The third slide contains the
text ``Some stuff explaining more on the second matter.'' The fourth
slide is identical to the first two slides, except that the third
point is now hilighted.
\example
\begin{verbatim}
\frame<1>[label=Cantor]
{
\frametitle{Main Theorem}
\begin{Theorem}
$\alpha < 2^\alpha$ for all ordinals~$\alpha$.
\end{Theorem}
\begin{overprint}
\onslide<1>
\hyperlink{Cantor<2>}{\beamergotobutton{Proof details}}
\onslide<2->
% this is only shown in the appendix, where this frame is resumed.
\begin{proof}
As shown by Cantor, ...
\end{proof}
\hfill\hyperlink{Cantor<1>}{\beamerreturnbutton{Return}}
\end{overprint}
}
...
\appendix
\againframe<2>{Cantor}
\end{verbatim}
In this example, the proof details are deferred to a slide in the
appendix. Hyperlinks are setup, so that one can jump to the proof
and go back.
\articlenote
This command is ignored in |article| mode.
\lyxnote
Use the style ``AgainFrame'' to insert an |\againframe| command. The
\meta{label name} is the text on following the style name
and is \emph{not} put in \TeX-mode. However, an overlay specification
must be given in \TeX-mode and it must precede the label name.
\end{command}
\subsection{Adding Anticipated Zooming}
\label{section-zooming}
Anticipated zooming is necessary when you have a very complicated
graphic that you are not willing to simplify since, indeed, all the
complex details merit an explanation. In this case, use the command
|\framezoom|. It allows you to specify that clicking on a certain area
of a frame should zoom out this area. You can then explain the
details. Clicking on the zoomed out picture will take you back to the
original one.
\begin{command}{\framezoom\ssarg{button overlay
specification}\ssarg{zoomed overlay
specification}\oarg{options}\\|(|\meta{upper left x}|,|\meta{upper
left y}|)(|\meta{zoom area width}|,|\meta{zoom area depth}|)|}
This command should be given somewhere at the beginning of a
frame. When given, two different things will happen, depending on
whether the \meta{button overlay specification} applies to the
current slide of the frame or whether the \meta{zoomed overlay
specification} applies. These overlay specifications should not
overlap.
If the \meta{button overlay specification} applies, a clickable area
is created inside the frame. The size of this area is given by
\meta{zoom area width} and \meta{zoom area depth}, which are two
normal \TeX\ dimensions (like |1cm| or |20pt|). The upper left
corner of this area is given by \meta{upper left x} and \meta{upper
left y}, which are also \TeX\ dimensions. They are measures
\emph{relative to the place where the first normal text of a
frame would go}. Thus, the location |(0pt,0pt)| is at the
beginning of the normal text (which excludes the headline and also
the frame title).
By default, the button is clickable, but it will not be indicated in
any special way. You can draw a border around the button by using
the following \meta{option}:
\begin{itemize}
\item \declare{|border|}\opt{|=|\meta{width in pixels}} will draw
a border around the specified button area. The default width is 1
pixel. The color of this button is the |linkbordercolor| of
|hyperref|. \beamer\ sets this color to a 50\% gray by default. To
change this, you can use the command
|\hypersetup{linkbordercolor={|\meta{red}| |\meta{green}| |\meta{blue}|}}|,
where \meta{red}, \meta{green}, and \meta{blue} are values between
0 and 1.
\end{itemize}
When you press the button created in this way, the viewer
application will hyperjump to the first of the frames specified by
the \meta{zoomed overlay specification}. For the slides to which
this overlay specification applies, the following happens:
The exact same area as the one specified before is ``zoomed out'' to
fill the whole normal text area of the frame. Everything else,
including the sidebars, the headlines and footlines, and even the
frame title retain their normal size. The zooming is performed in
such a way that the whole specified area is completely shown. The
aspect ratio is kept correct and the zoomed area will possibly show
more than just the specified area if the aspect ratio of this area
and the aspect ratio of the available text area do not agree.
Behind the whole text area (which contains the zoomed area) a big
invisible ``Back'' button is put. Thus clicking anywhere on the text
area will jump back to the original (unzoomed) picture.
You can specify several zoom areas for a single frame. In this case,
you should specify different \meta{zoomed overlay specification},
but you can specify the same \meta{button overlay
specification}. You cannot nest zoomings in the sense that you
cannot have a zoom button on a slide that is in some \meta{zoomed
overlay specification}. However, you can have overlapping and even
nested \meta{button overlay specification}. When clicking on an area
that belongs to several buttons, the one given last will ``win'' (it
should hence be the smallest one).
If you do not wish to have the frame title shown on a zoomed slide,
you can add an overlay specification to the |\frametitle| command
that simply suppresses the title for the slide. Also, by using the
|plain| option, you can have the zoomed slide fill the whole page.
\example A simple case
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{A Complicated Picture}
\framezoom<1><2>(0cm,0cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
\framezoom<1><3>(1cm,3cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
\framezoom<1><4>(3cm,2cm)(3cm,2cm)
\pgfimage[height=8cm]{complicatedimagefilename}
\end{frame}
\end{verbatim}
\example A more complicate case in which the zoomed parts completely
fill the frames.
\begin{verbatim}
\begin{frame}<1>[label=zooms]
\frametitle<1>{A Complicated Picture}
\framezoom<1><2>[border](0cm,0cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
\framezoom<1><3>[border](1cm,3cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
\framezoom<1><4>[border](3cm,2cm)(3cm,2cm)
\pgfimage[height=8cm]{complicatedimagefilename}
\end{frame}
\againframe<2->[plain]{zooms}
\end{verbatim}
\end{command}
