Beamer class (presentation mode) in LaTeX - an example of subfloats

I'd thought I'd post an example of a subfloat (a subfigure, but subfig is the package and subfloat the command; the subfigure package and command are older, see http://www.faqoverflow.com/tex/1966.html and http://texblog.org/tag/subfigure/) in Beamer, a presentation class for LaTeX.

\begin{frame}

  \begin{figure}[t]
   \centering
   \captionsetup[subfloat]{labelformat=empty}
   \subfloat[]{\label{} \includegraphics[scale = 0.15]{Sentinel_Bradford_et_al_07.png}} 
   \subfloat[]{\label{} \includegraphics[scale = 0.15]{Hyperion_(3)_Olds_et_al_99.png}}\\
   \subfloat[]{\label{} \includegraphics[scale = 0.15]{Stargazer_Olds_et_al_99.png}}
   \subfloat[]{\label{} \includegraphics[scale = 0.15]{Quicksat_(2)_Bradford_et_al_04.png}}
%    \captionsetup{labelsep=period, labelfont=sc} %\caption{} \label{fig:}
  \end{figure}

\end{frame}

Beamer theme matrix, gallery, and more

I am trying to provide an ample list of links for Beamer and beamer themes. I have included screenshots to make previewing easier. Also see my first post on Beamer for a few more links

Here is a link that gives you some ideas on combinations of themes for Beamer. You can click on the individual image for a larger size view.

The Fredeiksberg beamer theme:

Frederiksberg is a theme for beamer, which is a LaTeX package for typesetting presentation slides. The theme is designed for use at The University of Copenhagen (KU) and currently supports the look of the four faculties LIFE, NAT, SUND and SAMF, plus a "generic KU" look. It can mimic the Powerpoint templates provided from the KU design guide - but of course the end result is prettier with LaTeX, beamer and Frederiksberg than with Powerpoint!

Beamer package - installation on Ubuntu 11.04

I completely forgot to mention how to install the Beamer package in Ubuntu. It's pretty simple really, and I am sure there are tons of ways to go about this. Here is what I did. This should work regardless of frontend (Kile, Texmaker, etc). Go to the Ubuntu Synaptic Package Manager. I have mine linked to the toolbar.


Once in the SPM go to the Tex Authoring heading on the far left. You can either search for tex or click on a header and type "t" to get there. Or you could search for beamer.


Then select the latex=beamer package on the right. Click mark for installation. Then click Apply at the top. Of course my picture shows mark for reinstallation because its already installed. Now you should be able to use the Beamer package for presentations.




Or you can open a terminal and type

sudo apt-get install latex-beamer

From the SPM:

latex-beamer - LaTeX class to produce presentations

The beamer class is a LaTeX class that allows you to create a beamer
presentation. It can also be used to create slides. It behaves
similarly to other packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that
it works together directly with pdflatex, but also with dvips.

Once you have installed the beamer class, the basic steps to create a
beamer presentation are the following:
- Specify beamer as document class instead of article.
- Structure your LaTeX text using \section and \subsection commands.
- Place the text of the individual slides inside \frame commands.
- Run pdflatex on the text (or latex and dvips).

The beamer class has several useful features: You don't need any
external programs to use it other than pdflatex, but it works also
with dvips. You can easily and intuitively create sophisticated
overlays. Finally, you can easily change the whole slide theme or only
parts of it.

Presentations using LaTeX - the Beamer package

Wooooo!!! I am giddy with excitement. No more power point!!! Ok, so I am venturing into a new realm of LaTeX using Beamer to setup a pdf presentation. What I have seen so far is amazing. It can probably do most features of power point or any other office suit presentation creator. The best thing is not only having to not use PP, but also having the ability to simply cut and paste your LaTeX code!! I'll let you know more as it rolls in. Here are some helpful links:

One this ^ page is a great link which downloads a great example of using Beamer in Beamer (pdf) from Wake Forest:

Edit/Update:

After speaking with a colleague of mine about beamer, I decided to do a little more research. He/she suggested Keynote, an Apple product. They state that presentations should be graphic and that beamer is lacking in this sense. However and unfortunatley, Keynote is not free, and if it is cheap it will not run on anything but a Mac. Of course I respect opinions and everyone has there way and preferences. Mine of course is based on availability, how well it works, and the ability to create with some guidance. I think beamer could be quite nice as I think it can do enough graphic stuff and save me time with LaTeX "coding."

I found this nice forum discussing some graphics and beamer issues/alternatives/experiences. Some good links here and relatively up to date (Nov 2010). Some Ubuntu forum topics can be quite old and not helpful as Ubuntu is updated so frequntly.
