| Seminar demonstration files |
-------------------------------
- These files want to demonstrate the various capabilities of the Seminar package (from Timothy van Zandt) to produce screen oriented presentations
- They would like to show that Seminar (with all the interactive features added by the "hyperref" package) has by itself all the major required features, since it beginning
- They emphasize only the features adapted to screen presentations. They are not at all devoted to show all the capabilities and options of Seminar itself, which are supposed here to be known. For them, you must refer to the Seminar documentation (see http://www.loria.fr/services/tex/classes/sem-user.pdf or the file "sem-user.dvi" on your local installation) and the Seminar FAQ (see http://www.tug.org/applications/Seminar/Seminar-FAQ.html and http://www.tug.org/applications/Seminar/Seminar-FAQ.ps.gz )
- If you want to reuse some parts of these demonstration files, first read all the introductory document "sem-dem0.pdf" with care!
- No support of any kind is provided. Do not write me about these files, for any additional explanations or to adapt them to your own needs, except if you have to send me informations of general interest or new innovative examples.
- Various Makefiles are given for the Linux system. If you use another operating system, you must emulate the same commands by yourself.
- The source files are commented and try to be self-explanatory
- Just use these files as pedagogical examples. They will clearly require real understanding, work and some knowledge of (La)TeX programming to be adapted to your own needs. Do not try to use them if you are not convinced that you must make these efforts...
- A lot of packages (around 10...) (see http://www.miwie.org/presentations/presentations.html from Michael Wiedmann for an attempt to offer a summary) has been written these last years in the LaTeX world to produce screen oriented presentations. Look at them before to make your own choice.
- Some examples are only included for demonstration purpose, but are really not to be used in "real" situations (because they will generate too huge files, because even if the effect is rather aesthetic, the slides themselves will be difficult to read, etc.). So, use these examples with care and study them before to copy parts of them in your own presentations!
- First look at the sem-dem0.pdf (or sem-dem0_4.ps.gz) file.
