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
