Beamer is a genus of typesetting program LaTeX , with the presentations can be created. Beamer was developed by Till Tantau and first published in 2003 on the CTAN network. The package has been maintained by Vedran Miletić since April 2010. Furthermore, Joseph Wright made contributions to the project. The name of the class is derived from the widespread German bogus Anglicism for a video projector that is used to give a presentation.
properties
Beamer provides the user with access to the text typesetting options of LaTeX, which are also available for creating documents for printing. This applies in particular to the structuring and formula set options of LaTeX. The higher-level presentation structure can be shown in clear progress icons. Formulas can be embedded directly in the presentation.
The basic settings of the projector automatically ensure a clear layout. There are several presentation topics for the visual design, whereby modifications and in-house developments are also possible.
Of the currently available options for creating presentations with LaTeX, Beamer has established itself the most. There are also the Powerdot and Prosper packages .
Finished projector presentations are available as PDF files. The full screen mode found in many PDF viewers is used for presentations. This means that the presentation can be used across platforms.
Due to the abstract form of the source text, it is possible to generate a handout from the same LaTeX source with a few changes or to change the basic layout.
