Ordering graphics down page instead of across

Post by Laura »

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone can help...
I'm using beamer to produce a presentation and have a slide with two columns.
I want the column on the left to contain 3 pictures underneath each other, with bullet points in the column on the right.
The only way I could manage this was to use bullet points for my pictures (and not display the actual bullet point). But the problem is that it appears to leave more empty space at the top of the column and very little at the bottom. So the pictures look out of place and just wrong! I've tried changing the size of the picture but no luck. So is there another command to put the pictures one above the other???? Does \begin{center} only center from left to right and not vertically?
Thanks!

This worked for me, using pdfLaTeX:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}

...

\usepackage{graphicx}

...

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    \frametitle{Some Title}
    \begin{columns}
      \column{0.5\textwidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{someimg} % someimg was in this dir and a png

        \includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{someimg} % someimg was in this dir and a png

        \includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{someimg} % someimg was in this dir and a png
      \column{0.5\textwidth}
        \begin{itemize}
          \item Item 1
          \item Item 2
          \item Item 3
        \end{itemize}
    \end{columns}
  \end{frame}

...

\end{document}
