Fe Lines Talk

I made this presentation in only a few days. Hence, not everything is coded very well. Nevertheless you might find some interesting features you can use for your presentation. If you've got questions: Just ask me! :-)

Header

\documentclass[usenatbib]{beamer}
% if you use the draft option (\documentclass[usenatbib,draft]{beamer}) the images
% are not included. You can safe a lot of time using this option, if you do not need
% to look at your figures.

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage{colortbl} % colored tables
\usepackage{natbib} % the bibliography is in natbib style
\usepackage{url}  % est urls with \url{...} correctly
\usepackage{amssymb} % more symbols
\usepackage{amsmath} % standard math packag
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multicol} % allows you to create multiple columns
\usepackage{pstricks,pst-grad,pst-text}  % pstricks ...

% set your graphics path
\graphicspath{{./figs/}}

% select your favourite theme
\usetheme{Frankfurt}

Definitions/Functions

% define your own colors: 
% especially the standard green needs to be dark
\definecolor{tdgreen}{rgb}{0,0.6,0}
\definecolor{tdblue} {rgb}{.114, .157, .706 }
\definecolor{tdred} {rgb}{0.922, .086, .086 }

% for creating my title page, I define my font sizes
\newcommand\titleFontSize{\fontsize{0.65cm}{0.6cm}\selectfont}
\newcommand\authorFontSize{\fontsize{0.55cm}{0.5cm}\selectfont}

% simple commands for highlighting text in different colors
\newcommand{\greentext}[1]{{\color{tdgreen}#1}}
\newcommand{\redtext}[1]{{\color{tdred}#1}}
\newcommand{\bluetext}[1]{{\color{tdblue}#1}}

% define my own slides: style chosen here is plain \newcommand{\tdframe}[1]{\frame[plain]{#1}}

% define a compact itemize-environment \newenvironment{itemize*}%

 {\begin{itemize}%
   \setlength{\itemsep}{0pt}%
   \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}}%
 {\end{itemize}}

% define an outlined caption with ps-tricks: text in "Caption" is surrounded by a black line. % this is useful if you use a background image, but the title/authors should still be readable \definecolor{Caption}{rgb}{0.8,0.1,0.01} \newcommand\outlineCaption[1]{\textbf{\pscharpath[linecolor=black,linewidth=.1pt, gradangle=90,fillstyle=gradient,gradbegin=Caption,gradend=Caption,gradmidpoint=1]{#1}}} </file>
