Presentations with Beamer
The Beamer document class allows you to create professional slide presentations directly in LaTeX. It supports themes, colors, overlays, animations, and integration with graphics, tables, and math.
Beamer Document Class
To start a presentation, use the beamer document class instead of article or report. Beamer automatically sets up slides with proper formatting. You can also define a title, author, and date.
Frames
Slides in Beamer are called frames. Each frame is created with the frame environment. You can include text, lists, images, equations, and more inside frames.
Themes & Color Schemes
Beamer comes with built-in themes for layout and color schemes for styling. You can combine them for a professional look. Examples include Madrid, Warsaw, Berlin, and CambridgeUS.
Overlays & Animations
Overlays allow you to reveal content step by step. You can use \pause to display list items gradually or overlay specifications like <1-> for finer control.
Including Graphics, Tables, and Math
Beamer integrates smoothly with figures, tables, and mathematical notation. You can use the same environments as in LaTeX documents.
