General ⇒ How to make powerpoint-like graph animation by using beamer

[ronctlsmile]

Hi guys,

I have just started to use Beamer class to create a presentation. I am wondering if I could make some "picture" animation by using some Beamer class commands. It's easy when I use powerpoint to do it but don't don't know how to do it in beamer.

thanks

Cheers
Ron

Hi Ron,

the beamer user guide describes animations in Chapter 14.
I did not make animations until today, so I cannot give you an example. But beside the manual examples can be found in the web, for instance here: examples of beamer class or here: tug.org.

Hi Ron,

I am not sure which kind of animations you want to create.

In case it is a set of graphics or bitmap files or if you want to animate inline graphics, such as tikZ pictures, you might give the `animate' package a try:

Make sure to get the most recent release [2008/05/16] which is not yet available in the MiKTeX repository. Unzip the file

http://www.ctan.org/get/install/macros/ ... te.tds.zip

into the top-level directory of your TeX installation, such as

Code: Select all

/usr/share/texmf

or

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\MiKTeX 2.7

and refresh the filename database.
