Beamer --> ConTeXt (sample)

Beamer --> ConTeXt (sample)

[Saša Janiška]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1183 bytes --]

Hello,

recently I ha dto quickly put together few presentations for online 
meetings and not knowing better (aka quicker) way, I took/installed LyX 
on my Fedora machine. The process is not so smooth and end result is OK 
if we forgive ourselves that all Beamer presentations are looking almost 
the same.

However, I'm not into diving deep into Beamer package studying/learning 
it more thoroughly  anticipating that soon I'd have to do the same thing 
with some other package. :-)

Otoh, ConTeXt is a different league and learning it will pay for itself 
in the long run.

However, in order to be at least somewhat productive, I need some help 
so I can have some starter and not postponing learning ConTeXt ad 
infinitum, so I'm attaching small Beamer sample and wonder if someone 
can help by providing somewhat similar thing for ConText? (no need for 
all the graphic - I'm more concerned with proper overlays and having 
content in more than single column).


Sincerely,
Gour

If you need columns, look into columnsets: https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Columns#Column_Sets

Read https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Layers and play around with layers.
(But your example doesn’t need layers at all.)

Here’s an example of the drop shadow:
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Drop_shadows

Also, there’s a number of presentation styles in the distribution.
The wiki page https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Presentation_Styles is outdated but might give you some hints.
Feel free to update it.

Agreed. I find that all beamer presentations look the same and it can be difficult to change the look and feel of beamer presentations.

A presentation is just a regular document with small margins and some color :-)
Here is an old blog post on how to get to a decent presentation layout step-by-step. 

https://adityam.github.io/context-blog/post/presentation-40-commits-redux/

I also extensively use layers for absolute placement of content, which is more powerful than the simple two columns which beamer provides.

BTW here’s a very wide presentation style I made for the 2019 meeting:
https://sedna.fiee.net/d/554ff6b974874612b581/ (link valid for 30 days)

env_pres.tex is the style, the other .tex files are presentations and test stuff.

Have fun.
