Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Draw Binomial option pricing tree/lattice

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi feanor,

you need to replace the ampersand with beamer, as stated in the TikZ manual.

Working code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[xcolor=pdflatex,dvipsnames,table]{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{matrix}
\mode<presentation>
\usetheme{JuanLesPins}
\setbeamercovered{transparent=30}
