[BEAMER] make text fit in a slide

[BEAMER] make text fit in a slide

[Andrea Crotti]

Would it be possible with some trick to automatically make the font
resize when the frame doesn't fit in the slide?

Or maybe would that be possible otherwise to split the slide in two
parts automatically?

I always wondered how to do it but never really found out.
And how do I in general could have a section of text in a smaller font?

Hi Andrea,

I'm not sure of the answers to your queries.  These questions seem more
Beamer related than org-mode.  That said, you may have more luck asking on a
TeX/LaTeX forum such as http://tex.stackexchange.com/

Sorry I couldn't be of more use :-/

Hi Andrea,

I use the following line to allow frame breaks

#+BIND: org-beamer-frame-default-options "[allowframebreaks]"

Perfect nice, but now I also get
"Slide I" for all the slides, even if there isn't a second one...
I might only need it in one case (for the bibliography) actually...

and, on a slide per slide basis, you can set options using the
BEAMER_envargs property (easiest to do using column view if you have
defined columns as per the tutorial on Worg, for instance).  For
example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** A full slide
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_envargs: [shrink]
    :END:

Content here

*** A very long slide
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_envargs: [allowframebreaks]
    :END:

Some more content here.

--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Hi Andrea,

I stand corrected - you are getting a lot of useful information here! :-)

Yes true :)
Thanks everyone, the "per frame" setting is perfect.
And since I'm here another thing I'm not getting.

If I want to have a situation like this below

|                                            |
+--------------------------------------------+


with two columns on top and then text, how do I achive this with
org-beamer?
I don't understand how to "quit" from the last environment use staying
in the same frame...

Hi Andrea,

Here I can help some :).

What I have done in the past is take advantage of the fact that org-mode
will close a beamer =columns= environment if the column width is set to 0
(or 1):

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
** What is a Type I X-ray
Burst?

*** ignore
:BMCOL:B_ignoreheading:

:PROPERTIES:
     :BEAMER_col:
0.33
     :BEAMER_env:
ignoreheading
     :BEAMER_envargs:
C[t]

:END:
- Low Mass X-ray
Binaries
*** ignore
:BMCOL:B_ignoreheading:

:PROPERTIES:
     :BEAMER_col:
0.3
     :BEAMER_env:
ignoreheading

:END:
- Accretion of H and/or
He
*** ignore
:BMCOL:B_ignoreheading:

:PROPERTIES:
     :BEAMER_col:
0.4
     :BEAMER_env:
ignoreheading

:END:
- Ignition at base of accreted
layer
*** close columns
:BMCOL:B_ignoreheading:

:PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_col:
0
    :BEAMER_env:
ignoreheading

:END:
*** data
:B_ignoreheading:BMCOL:


:PROPERTIES:

     :BEAMER_env:
ignoreheading

     :BEAMER_envargs:
C[T]

     :BEAMER_col:
0.4


:END:

whatever else I want
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This creates a "row" on the top of the frame that has 3 columns of widths
0.33, 0.3, and 0.4.  Then to close that "row" I made the =close columns=
header with a column width of 0.  The next header, =data= starts another
"row" and its column width is set to 0.4 giving room for another column to
its right if I so choose.

HTH,

Chris

Great thanks a lot.
Too bad that things really start to become complicated with the
syntax...

Another last thing, if I want a block (for example an "alertblock") is
there a way to not having the heading line?

I mean
** Thanks                :B_block:
   :PROPERTIES:
   :BEAMER_env: alertblock
   :END:

   *Thanks you all*

I would like not to see the initial Thanks...
For latex is perfectly fine but how do I say that to org-beamer?

Hi Andrea,

In the example I showed, I set the block to an =ignoreheading= block by
using =C-c C-b i=.  This, as best I can tell, generates a block but comments
out the part which gives the block its title.  Doing this overrides the
"alertblock" heading, so I'm not entirely sure how to combine the two to do
what you are asking.

I also tried that and I saw it doesn't work...
Actually a normal block would be also fine, but the ignoreheading block
doesn't "box" my text in a different background color as the normal
block does.

So it's a bit different, not exactly like a block which ignores the
heading.

I think I solved this issue already a very long time ago, but went
completely out of my mind...

Is it also possible to have one part of a frame fixed while one other
part (a block/column) changes its content?

\pause writes things after, doesn't substitute the content, so I guess
something else is needed...

yes but remember that org /= latex.  If you need the full power of
latex, use it instead *or*, better yet, remember that you can include
latex code directly within your org file!

the convenience that org provides in terms of all the extra
functionality, IMO, outweighs the small number of cases where it just
doesn't have the capabilities of specifying what you want.

Actually, one can do this more simply by realising that latex will wrap
the columns if they take up too much space...  attached is an example
where the first two columns are of a width that they take up the whole
line width so that the third column, given a full line width, has to be
below the first two...
