To Get Started

Open LYXMenu: File -> New From TemplateChoose “beamer-conference-ornate-20min.lyx”After that, you would be “In” this document you are lookingat now.I want you to compile it, experiment with it. See last section.

Make Titles Informative. Use Uppercase Letters.Frame subtitles are optional. Use upper- or lowercase letters.

Use Itemize a lot.Use very short sentences or short phrases.These overlays are created using the Pause style.

Make Titles Informative.

You can also use overlay specifications to create overlays.This allows you to present things in any order.This is shown second.

LyX’s Frame approach is a bit frustrating

Lyx has a (frustrating) environment for frames (changes overtime)

Must indent everything, wastes screen spaceframe options difficult to specifyVery touch GUI to create new frames (maybe I’m just notyoung enough)

Generally, I don’t use their GUI, I use ERT:

\ beg in { frame }\ f r am e t i t l e {Thi s i s what the ERT s l i d e l o o k s l i k e}

followed by ordinary LyX content, ending with more ERT

\end{ frame }

Author, Another



This is what the ERT slide looks like

anything here is ordinary lyx contentawesome math works fine:

Γ(x) = βki α1α2

κp (1)

Can cross reference equation (1) and use sections and all thatJust remember to insert the end{frame}!

In LyX, can create features expected in Slides...

Please notice we haveitemized or enumerated liststwo column frames (but not nice looking inside LYX)“feature/alert” theorem blocks, although clumbsy

Please experiment with edits, and FREQUENTLY try to View thePDF result.

Turn on Source View

You’ll see some simple, uncustomized LATEX markup (see the“itemize” environment for lists). Most of the markup you seewould be standard.Run File -> Export -> LATEX (pdflatex). That will create a*.tex file you can edit and test if you want to be a “raw”LATEX user.Over time, the LyX source view looks more and more likeLaTeX you’d write for yourself.

Break This Document: end

If you do any of the following, this document will fail to compileAccidentally omit an end frame statement.

Break this document: listings

Menu: Insert -> “Program Listing” . Type anything in thebox. PDF Compile fails!

Break this document: The Take Away

seemingly small changes you make can result in failureANDthe error messages are really and truly unhelpfulSo Compile Early, Compile Often.
