I ask this knowing full well that many would consider these features as simply adding visual noise to presentations, and normally I too eschew them, but as I am reading Jean-Luc Doumont's book on effective communications I am reminded that the primary purpose of presentations is to affect change in the audience. I am to give a presentation in a few days to a group of designers/interior decorators, and for this audience presentations using these features are both appropriate and often expected. I am looking for the equivalent of transition effects in the prosper class---the simple Wipe transition would suffice; no need for Glitter ;). The other feature that I would like is the incremental displaying of a slide, i.e., the \overlays feature. Is there an easy way to incorporate these into a ConTeXt based presentation, even if it means not necessarily using simpleslides? advTHANKSance. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276) ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
