Document Classes ⇒ beamer class

[omkardpd]

Hi,

I am using a beamer class. In the printed output, how do I remove the bottom "bar" (in any theme) which has details about the name of the author and title of the presentation? Actually, the name and title are so long that they don't fit in the "bottom" bar. So I want to remove it completely.

Is there a way to modify structure of the title page or do I have to stick to the format given for any specific theme?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Omkar,

try:

Code: Select all

\setbeamertemplate{footline}{}

or use the optional parameters of \title and \author like:

Code: Select all

\title[short title]{long title}

Hi Stefen,

Yes, your suggestion has resolved my issue. Thank you.

I guess I had one more question, but not clearly framed. "Is there a way to modify structure of the title page or do I have to stick to the format given for any specific theme?" This is because I need to write the names of the authors in 2 columns. I tried "\column", "\block" commands. However, that does not allow in the title page. The beamer documentclass says write multiple authors under "\author" using "\and". It is not going to help me.

So, can we modify the structure for list of authors in the titlepage and still use "\frame{titepage}"?

Regards,

Omkar

If you would clarify what exactly you want do, it would be much easier to help. For the present take a look at the following example and see if it fits to your needs.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[english,professionalfonts,smaller]{beamer}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage{isodate}

\institute{User \and Moderator}
\author{omkardpd\inst{1} \and localghost\inst{2}}
\title{Presentation with more than one author}
\date{\today}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}[plain]
    \maketitle
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

Hi,
I think I am making things very confusing. Let me explain the structure of the title page that I want.

Title of the paper
Author :omkar
institute: XYZ
Column 1 : Advisors Column 2 : Examiners
Prof. one Prof. two
Prof. three Prof. four

Logo of the institute

Hello,
Is it possible to customize the title page under the beamer class? The document explains the customization of the frames, but not sure if title page customization is possible. May I have some inputs on it?
Thanks all,
Suvarna
