Example presentations using Beamer

Beamer is is a LaTeX class to produce presentations. It behaves similarly to other latex packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that it works together directly with pdflatex, but also with 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.

This page contains links to examples of using Beamer together with LyX. Feel free to add more examples!

Examples

Note that figures are not included with the lyx source, see the PDF-file for how the actual result.

Notes

From Jeremy C. Reed:

 
I found LyX examples in the lyx/examples/, solutions/conference-talks,
solutions/generic-talks and solutions/short-talks directories in the
latex-beamer-3.01 tarball.

> Does anyone have any simple lyx examples for beamer to share?

I just completed my thesis defense using a Lyx-generated LaTex-Beamer
presentation not 20 minutes ago!  Here is the lyx doc:

http://www.interstice.com/drewes/brain/thesispres.lyx

which generates this lovely pdf:

I don't claim that my Lyx usage of Beamer is anything great.  But it
looked nice and it worked (I got my MS :).  My committee advisor asked me
what I used to generate the presentation, since he thought it looked so
nice and like the integrated outlining.

Note that I haven't included the figures that the Lyx doc needs to
generate the .pdf.  You can look at the .pdf to see what the whole thing
looked like.

Also, there is a sample Lyx/Beamer presentation in the Beamer
distribution.  Look for

/beamer/solutions/generic-talks/generic-ornate-15min-45min.en.lyx

From samar singh:

  This presentation for an R & D proposal depicts a lyx based beamer file
but with   plenty of ERT to produce the effects shown. View with PDFlatex on
your Lyx menu and view the exported PDF file with Adobe's Reader. Not sure if there is not a
 better way of doing it with less ERT. It seems the bkgrnd file downloads
as bkgrnd.jpeg. Please rename this to bkgrnd.jpg
