Hello:

I was happy to see a simple formula for exporting to Beamer.  The following
worked initially.  However, this initialization routine was able to run only
when org-latex had already been loaded.

Is it possible to put this inside of a hook (say, when org-latex was loaded,
or when the document class was beamer during the export process)?

Emacs just reports the following when this code is included into the init
file:

       Symbol's value as variable is void: org-export-latex-classes

After explicitly loading the library "org-latex" the code is executed and
the procedure works for exporting the example file---given that the latex
code must be cleaned up.

I haven't yet tried the following as a heading line:

       #+OPTIONS: toc:nil

Would that solve the problem you reported?

Thank you for this helpful advice.

You can know the name of a bird in all the languages of the world,  but when
you're finished, you'll know absolutely nothing whatever about the bird...
So let's look at the bird and see what it's doing---that's what counts.

  Aloha Alan,
  
  Here is a somewhat more elaborate set-up.
  
  In customize org-export-latex-classes (or add to appropriate place  
  in .emacs):
  
  \documentclass{beamer}
  \mode<{{{beamermode}}}>
  {
    \usetheme{{{{beamertheme}}}}
    \usecolortheme{{{{beamercolortheme}}}}
  }
  \usepackage[english]{babel}
  \usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
  \usepackage{times}
  \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
  \institute{{{{beamerinstitute}}}}
  \subject{{{{beamersubject}}}}
  
  The macros here let me specify things that I like to change on a per- 
  file basis.  So, in my org file there is this:
  
  #+MACRO: BEAMERMODE presentation
  #+MACRO: BEAMERTHEME Malmoe
  #+MACRO: BEAMERCOLORTHEME tsdye
  #+MACRO: BEAMERSUBJECT Evolutionary archaeology
  #+MACRO: BEAMERINSTITUTE T. S. Dye \& Colleagues \\ B. P. Bishop Museum
  
  I typically use sections and subsections in my talks (and the Malmoe  
  theme displays them nicely within beamer).  So, I have this in  
  customize org-export-latex-classes:
  
               INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Heading:
                           numbered: \section{%s}
                           unnumbered): \section{%s}
               INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Heading:
                           numbered: \subsection{%s}
                           unnumbered): \subsection{%s}
               INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Environment:
                           Opening (numbered)  : \begin{frame} 
  \frametitle{%s}
                           Closing (numbered)  : \end{frame}
                           Opening (unnumbered): \begin{frame} 
  \frametitle{%s}
                           Closing (unnumbered): \end{frame}
  
  I have the standard value for org-export-latex-low-levels in customize:
  Org Export Latex Low Levels: Hide Value Value Menu Convert as itemized  
  list
  
  And then this in my .org file:
  
  #+OPTIONS: H:3
  #+OPTIONS: toc:nil
  
  A typical slide show might look like this, in part:
  
  * Introduction
  ** Evolution
  *** Four Components of Evolutionary Processes
  **** Inheritance = Social learning
  **** {{{alert(Mutation)}}} = {{{alert(Innovation)}}}
  **** Selection = Function
  **** Drift = Style
  
  I use beamer's \alert{} command a lot, and often have figures in my  
  slide shows, so I defined two convenience macros:
  
  #+MACRO: ALERT \alert{$1}
  #+MACRO: FIGURE \begin{centering}\includegraphics[$2]{$1}\par 
  \end{centering}
  
  And use FIGURE like this:
  
  *** Determining Fish Size from Vertebrae
        {{{figure(r/bm_verts,width=12cm)}}}
  
  and ALERT like this:
  
  **** The probability a bone was {{{alert(not)}}} recovered is:
  #+BEGIN_LaTeX
        $ 1 - \hat{r} $
  #+END_LaTeX
  
  I haven't found a way to export columns yet.  If I could do this, then  
  I'd be able to generate most of my beamer presentations completely  
  from org-mode.  As it is, I'm enjoying substantial productivity gains  
  with this set-up.
  
  HTH,
  Tom
