Document Classes ⇒ overlapping tikz based graphics on beamer

[patolfo]

Hi there guys, just found out beamer for presentations, so I want to know if there a possible way to overlap graphics on the same slide while the items on a list are presented.

Let's say for each item in an itemize environment a part of the graphic is exposed, the graphic is done with tikz.

Any ideas, I found out with arrows but I could not get it done with a more complex graphic.

this is the code i used but it says that the figures are not found but they are recognized if used with out the overlapping

\begin{frame}
\input<1>{./figures/suma_ideal}%
\input<2>{./figures/y_tarde}%
\input<3>{./figures/y_tempra}%
\end{frame}

this is the code i used but it says that the figures are not found but they are recognized if used with out the overlapping

Code: Select all

\begin{frame}
\input<1>{./figures/suma_ideal}%
\input<2>{./figures/y_tarde}%
\input<3>{./figures/y_tempra}%
\end{frame}

The \input macro is not overlay aware. Try instead:

Code: Select all

\begin{frame}
\only<1>{\input{./figures/suma_ideal}}%
\only<2>{\input{./figures/y_tarde}}%
\only<3>{\input{./figures/y_tempra}}%
\end{frame}

You may also try \onslide instead of \only. \onslide takes the size of the invisible overlays into account.
