Document Classes ⇒ beamer: get ride of left margin

[ltxsun]

Hi,
When I use \begin{frame}[plain], I can get rid of all theme components (e.g., to fit a large picture), as described in the user guide.

However, I still have the text left margin. \hspace{-1cm} does not work. and I do not want to do
\setbeamersize{text margin left=0cm} as LaTeX tells me it can only be used in preamble, so that it will affect all other frames.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi,

you can use a box, as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usetheme{Warsaw}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[plain]
\makebox[\linewidth]{\rule{12cm}{3cm}}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}[plain]
\makebox[\linewidth]{\parbox{12cm}{\lipsum[1]}}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
