Re: Simpleslides question

[Vyatcheslav Yatskovsky]

Thanks for asking. The problem is so simple from PowerPoint view. I want 
to place a logo of my academic institution on the front page, above the 
slide title. I can guess its x,y coordinates, but cannot understand how 
to place it there.

I know something about overlays, but it seems that they can add an image 
to a text already placed somewhere. I have no text, I just want to place 
an image at arbitrary location at one page.

With simpleslides, you will need to create your own "style module". 
Currently, there is no documentation for it, but here is the gist of 
creating your own style.

Simpleslides provides four overlays, simpleslides:background:horizontal,
simpleslides:background:vertical, simpleslides:background:title, 
simpleslides:background:ornament.

The title background is placed on the title page, the horizontal and 
ornamanet backgrounds are placed on all pages other than 
\IncludePicture[vertical] where the vertical and ornamenet backgrounds are 
placed.

If you to place a logo at a specific position, use

\startuseMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament}
StartPage ;
metapost code to draw/place logo at a particular location
StopPage ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

and then

\defineoverlay
   [simpleslides:background:ornament]
   [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament}]

Btw, I most like small navigation buttons in the bottom ) Good idea to 
something alike to Simpleslides.

Well, for one thing, the module clearly says in its manual that this  
is not its aim: "The module is meant for presentations which will be  
shown on a digital projector. They have no interactive elements (such  
as buttons or hyperlinks) and no navigational tools (such as table of  
contents)." Hence the name "simple-slides." I have never understood  
what these navigation buttons are good for when I watched  
presentations. But of course, if users think it's a good idea, Aditya  
and I may consider adding them.

And another thing that's on my mind: Vyatcheslav, you have been asking  
a ton of questions lately. You have received quite a few answers, but  
you have never replied (unless to ask further questions). I'm not  
complaining about a lack of manners, but it would be good to know if  
your problem has been solved, if the solutions work etc.

Hello,

Can I arrange *multiple* images per a page in specified positions (x,y) 
using simpleslides module?

Hi,

no, there is not yet code for this. I usually do it "by hand," but if  
this is something you need/use often, it would be relatively easy to  
provide a macro for it.

Can you elaborate? Do you want the same images to appear in all slides in 
the background (like a corporate design), or do you want to include 
multiple images on a single page, say two images side by side?
