# gridslides: LaTeX package to create free form slides with blocks placed on a grid
This package allows to create free form slides with blocks placed on a grid.
The blocks can be filled with text, equations, figures etc.
This allows more flexible slides similar compared to LaTeX beamer.
Sequential unconvering of elements is supported.
A compiler script is provided which compiles each slide separately, avoiding long compile times this way.
## Example
See the file `example.tex` and `example.pdf`. Each slide is compiled separately using `compile.pl example.tex`.
## Supported commands
This package provides only a handful of commands, which
allow to create slides and with blocks at fixed positions.
### Slides/Pages
```latex
\begin{slide}{Slide title}
Slide content
\end{slide}
\begin{rawslide}
Raw slide without title and style
\end{rawslide}
\begin{style}
Define style which underlies all slides.
Best used together with \bg{filename}!
\end{style}
\begin{style}
\bg{figure-filename}
\end{style}
```
### Slide content blocks
The slide is divided in a 32x24 grid.
```latex
\bg{figure-filename}
\txt(x,y){Text content}
\block(x,y,w){Arbitrary content}
\fig(x,y,w){figure-filename}
\eq(x,y){a^2 + b^2 = c^2}
```
### Sequential uncovering
Each slide can be split in multiple steps by defining blocks with `<n-m>` annotations.
```latex
\txt<1->(x,y){On slide step 1 to n}
\block<2>(x,y,w){Only on step 2}
\only<2-3>{
\block(x,y){Block content}
}
```
### Metadata
```latex
\author{Author} defines \theauthor
\title{Presentation Title} defines \thetitle
\date{Date} defines \thedate
\institute{Institute} defines \theinstitute
\theheadline defined by slide title
\theslide defined by slide number
```
