PPresenter Manual Slide |
Portable Presenter is a package designed to give
presentations. A presentation is based on slides, which are shown on
viewports.
PPresenter is able to show a slide on more than one viewport at the same time, maybe in different styles, on different devices, in different fonts and fontsizes. So: for each viewport, a slide has a slide-view, which is written in a specific style. The information about a slide which is not related to one viewport, but to the general functioning of the slide within the show, is stored in the options described below. | ||||||||||||||||||
Slide options:
Per viewport a slide-view which defines a style with options for |
How to create a slideA slide is a collection of options, combining the content and behaviour information. The options have different sources: the depend mainly on which style you have selected.When you have only one viewport (window) to show the slide, the creation of a slide is easy: $show->addSlide( general options , style selectors , style-elem options);The order of the options is not important. When you have a presentation with multiple viewports involved, then you should read the page on how to specify slide-views. General slide options
ExamplesExamples of simple slide-specifications: one viewport, or multiple viewports all showing the same. For more complicated examples, visit the slide-view page.
Example 1$show->addSlide( -title => 'demo' , -template => 'tm' , -bgcolor => 'red' , -backdrop => 0 , -main => 'text' , -reqtime => 5*60);The -title flag is the only obligatory argument, although...
if you forget to mention it, the name will be "Slide number". With
the -reqtime of 5 minutes, these are the real slide options.
The The other style-elements are not specified, so their respectively selected elements are used. It is not often required to specify another style-element then the template: in most cases you use the same for each slide.
The As you see: it is very important to know which style-elements are selected, and which options they take. Give yourself some time to learn! Example 2my $slide = $show->addSlide( qw/-title demo2 -template m -reqtime 400 -proceed TIME -main/, "the text shown on the screen" ); print $slide->tree;Just a different way to denote a slide. In this case, maintenance is harder, and it soes not give you any speed benevit. You also see that the slide-structure is returned, and can be used to print the options after being processed. | ||||||||||||||||||
