Overlay figures in same positions on Beamer Slides
Hello: I have 4 figures that I would like on one slide. However, due to its detail, I would like show each figure at the largest size that may be fitted on a Beamer class slide. Moreover, it makes sense to illustrate a sequence of these figures one on top of the other. So as one disappears or fades, the next figure appears in the same position as the last one. Does anyone know how to do this in the beamer class?
Thank you!!!!
Thank you!!!!

Refer to the beamer manual (Section 9.5 - Dynamically Changing Text or Images, p. 79f) to get a synopsis of the overlayarea environment.BMAcox wrote:What does it mean 'overlay environment'? sorry, still fairly green to beamer

Have you ever thought about feeding a search engine with »beamerexample1.tex«? I have been successful with this method.
