Yes. Just add \hypersetup{pdfpagemode=FullScreen} in the preamble of your LaTeX file. [2] How to use Type 1 fonts with MikTeX or teTeX? For both MikTeX and teTeX, you have to add at least the two lines: p +psfonts.cmz p +psfonts.amz For MikTeX: ----------- Add the lines to the file \texmf\dvips\config\config.ps For teTeX: ---------- Add the lines to the file ~/.dvipsrc (create it if it does not exist already) [3] Slide orientation is in portrait instead of landscape when viewed in PDF Two possible reasons for this: you did not choose the `pdf' option of prosper; or you have translated the PostScript file with ps2pdf coming with GNU GhostScript. GNU GhostScript (at least v. 5.10) has been reported to fail switching correctly the orientation. You should upgrade to Aladdin GhostScript 6.0 or above (see also next question). [4] The text of the slides in PDF is generally fine but some parts of it and the equations are ugly. This is usually due to the fact that your file contains bitmap fonts. Fonts in a PDF file should always be vectorial ones. When viewing your PDF file With Acrobat Reader, go to File->Document Info->Fonts... You should not see any "Type 3" font in the list. Use Aladdin GhostScript v. 6.0 or above (with the associated fonts) to translate your PostScript file. You must also ask dvips to use vectorial fonts when creating a PostScript file from your DVI (see [2]). [5] The slides are cropped in an odd way such that the footer is not completely visible. By default, GhostScript processes files assuming the pages are in letter format. Prosper standard styles assume a European A4 format. You have to make GhostScript aware of the fact by using the option -sPAPERSIZE=a4 when you use ps2pdf. You can alternatively set the variable GS_OPTIONS in your shell init file. E.g. in bash, put the following line in your ~/.bash_profile: export GS_OPTIONS="-sPAPERSIZE=a4" [6] gv is really slow to display slides when I use some particular styles. Styles using gradients of colors are indeed really slow to display and appear usually ugly with gv when the antialias is ON. Just turn it OFF to fix the problem. [7] Prosper does not seem to work with Acrobat Distiller to produce the PDF file. It does. However, it is mandatory to specify the "distiller" option in your LaTeX file.prosper-1.00.4+cvs.2007.05.01/PPRazure.sty0000644000175000017500000000474310615526774016722 0ustar mhattamhatta%%============================================================================= %% PPRazure.sty (a slide style for Prosper) %% Copyright 2000-2001 Frdric Goualard %% %% This program may be distributed and/or modified under the %% conditions of the LaTeX Project Public License, either version 1.2 %% of this license or (at your option) any later version. %% The latest version of this license is in %% http://www.latex-project.org/lppl.txt %% and version 1.2 or later is part of all distributions of LaTeX %% version 1999/12/01 or later. %% %% This program consists of the files listed in manifest.txt %% %% CVSId : $Id: PPRazure.sty,v 1.3 2001/10/24 15:11:25 exupery Exp $ %%============================================================================= \NeedsTeXFormat{LaTeX2e}[1995/12/01] \ProvidesPackage{PPRazure}[2000/04/18] \typeout{Azure style for Prosper ---} \typeout{(c) 2000 Frederic Goualard, IRIN, France} \typeout{CVSId: $Id: PPRazure.sty,v 1.3 2001/10/24 15:11:25 exupery Exp $} \typeout{ } % Required packages \IfFileExists{pst-grad}{\RequirePackage{pst-grad}}{\RequirePackage{gradient}} \RequirePackage{amssymb} \RequirePackage{times} % Colors \newrgbcolor{lightblue}{.30 .86 .89} \ifinColor \def\colA{blue} \def\colB{black} \global\let\colC=\lightblue \ifcolorBG \global\let\colD=\white \else \global\let\colD=\black \fi \else \def\colA{white} \def\colB{lightgray} \global\let\colC=\blue \global\let\colD=\black \fi % The fonts \FontTitle{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont\colC}{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont\colC} \FontText{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{m}{n}\fontsize{14.4pt}{13pt}\selectfont\colD}{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{m}{n}\fontsize{14.4pt}{13pt}\selectfont\colD} \ColorFoot{\colD} % Positionning of the title of a slide. \def\slidetitle#1{\rput[lb](0.3,3.8){% \parbox{10cm}{\fontTitle{\baselineskip=0pt #1}}}} % Positionning for a logo \LogoPosition{-1,-1.1} \newcommand{\BSquareFrame}[1]{% \ifcolorBG \psframe[fillstyle=gradient,gradbegin=\colB,gradend=\colA,gradmidpoint=1]% (-2,-1.4)(12.5,9) \fi \psframe[fillstyle=gradient,gradbegin=\colA,gradend=\colB,gradmidpoint=.5, linestyle=none]% (-2,-1.4)(0,9) \multirput(-1.4,-1)(0,.35){29}{% \psframe[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=\colA,linestyle=none](0,0)(.25,.25)} \PutLogo % Mandatory {#1}} \NewSlideStyle{t}{6,3.4}{BSquareFrame} \PDFCroppingBox{10 15 594 840} \endinput %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: t %%% End: prosper-1.00.4+cvs.2007.05.01/NEWS0000644000175000017500000000315710615526774015146 0ustar mhattamhattaCVSId: $Id: NEWS,v 1.9 2001/10/24 15:11:25 exupery Exp $ Version 1.5: * bookmarks for all overlays * Prosper is now distributed under the LPPL license * Many bugs fixed Version 1.1: * corrected bug preventing correct use of \cite in slides with overlays. * corrected reinitialization problem of the current color when option "colorlinks" is true Version 1.0i: * Now, counters are not incremented inside overlays.

to the overview and present the current entry with the command \overviewcurrent{level}{text} From Fred Labrosse : You can find a suitable style at http://pmrb.free.fr/prosper/. Discussion on functionality by Fred Labrosse and Peter Mnster From Fred Labrosse Dear all, I am currently trying to produce a way to automatically generate outline pages. I obviously had a look at what Peter Mnster did in his PPRpmsout.sty and I think I now understand it. I was wondering whether his approach is "better" than the original one in slidesec.sty (obviously, "better" needs to be defined ;-). Peter has ONE command (\pmsec) that adds its argument to a list of headings AND generates the outline page with all the headings, the crosses, and the tick. The original slidesec.sty separates these two steps; one command adds its argument to the list of headings and another command generates the outline page with all the headings, the crosses, and the tick. I was also wondering whether there could be a starred version of the slide environment that would add its title to the list of headings. In order for what I will do to be as useful as possible, I would like to know what YOU think is the best. Cheers, Fred Answer from Peter Mnster Of course it's better to have flexibility. Consider \pmsec just as a personal hack, to hide the difficulties with the counters and the bookmarks in the style file. It would be better to have some custom commands for * adding headings; * making a slide with the outline; * robust mechanism for subheadings (or simply the slidetitles like in pmsout). * ... And the good place for all this is not the style file in my opinion. Those commands should be defined in the class-file and in the style file there should be some more possibilities to define different styles (for the title-slide, outline and other for example). Cheers, Peter A later mail (Thu, 21 Mar 2002 15:35:03 +0100) by Jean-Charles Bagneris (jcb@mnet.fr) Hi there, I am trying to figure out a way to have nested bookmarks in the pdf slideshow - because prosper is great, but I really miss *structure* for my slideshows (section, subsection etc.) Diving in prosper.sty, I can not see any convenient way to do so, except ugly hacks of the code. 1. Did I miss something about structure, bookmarks, ... 2. Where do I find information about all the macros driving pdf rendering, such as \pdfmark and so on ? Thanks a lot ! 1C) pdflatex Support see - page by Dekel Tsur (http://www.math.tau.ac.il/~dekelts/slides/) - mail ``[Prosper-users] Re: pdflatex and LyX'' by Bas Spitters Also, there has been a bug report on SourceForge concerning pdf-latex: Later version Prosper with pdf-latex The result of building prosper-slides with latex is ok, but if I try to use pdflatex [pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d] the slides are shifted to the right and there are no colors, no centered environments, no background, no images, etc What's wrong? I tried to make it in the same way as in the slides-examples found on prosper.sourceforge.net -> examples. here some version numbers: - pdfTeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159-0.13d - TeX (Web2C 7.3.1) 3.14159 - CVSId: $Id: TODO,v 1.6 2002/08/05 14:47:04 turtleturtle Exp $ I'm using teTex 1.0.7 1D) Macro Names Should Not Appear in Slide Title The problem is that command names, e.g., \texttt show up in the description giving in the PDF outline. In some few occasions, most notable greek letters, that might be convenient, but most of the time it is a pain in the butt From Brian Elmegaard See the \texordfdstring macro on page 44 of http://www.math.uakron.edu/~dpstory/tutorial/pdfmarks/hyper.pdf From Peter Mnster I remember having encountered similar problems. My solution (it's also in http://pmrb.free.fr/prosper/PPRpmsout.sty): \renewcommand{\@addBookmarkOnSlide}[1]{\pdfbookmark[1]{#1}{bm\theslide}} In fact, the construction in prosper.cls was too complicated for me. When you use the \pdfbookmark command, then not only \texorpdfstring but also the command "\pdfstringdefDisableCommands" should work. An example for the second one can be found in http://pmrb.free.fr/prosper/mylayout.sty. Related to this is the following bug report on SourceForge [ 501698 ] dashes and such in bookmarks This is not a serious bug but it's a bit annoying. The bookmarks of the pdf-file are created from the headings of the slides. Good. When I use something like '--' or \texttt{...} in the headings, this is put like plaintext into the bookmarks too. Ok, for the dashes that's not a real problem, but the 'exttt' that appeares in between the text is annoying. 1E) Enumerate always produces the numbers in black. Fred Labrosse reported the bug and provided the following patch: \def\enumerate{% \ifnum \@enumdepth >\thr@@\@toodeep\else \advance\@enumdepth\@ne \edef\@enumctr{enum\romannumeral\the\@enumdepth}% \expandafter \list \csname label\@enumctr\endcsname {\usecounter\@enumctr\def\makelabel##1{\hss\llap{\fontText ##1}}}% \fi} \let\endenumerate =\endlist \newcommand{\startFontText}{% \ifinColor\@fontTextColor\else\@fontTextBW\fi\selectfont} \renewcommand*{\descriptionlabel}[1]{\hspace\labelsep \startFontText\bfseries #1} It appear to be a general problem that a number of commands does not respect the color setting. Before patching all the commands, we should ensure that it does not have to do with the fact that we are not using color. 1F) Auctex style Developed and mailed on the mailing list. Furthermore, PMN has some possible additions. 1G) Compatibility with color The following is provided by David C Sterratt (after discussions with PMN) \makeatletter \AtBeginDocument{\ifinColor\@fontTextColor\else\@fontTextBW\fi} \makeatother \documentclass[...]{prosper} \makeatletter \AtBeginDocument{\global\let\reset@color=\orig@reset@color} \makeatother Furthermore, semcolor should be asked to load color instead of pstricks. That might turn out to be the tricky part. 1H) Compatibility with listing There are some incompatibilities with the listing package, Fred Labrosse seems to know what is needed. The bug has also been reported on SourceForge as [ 542507 ] Error with listing.sty When I try to use listings.sty version 1.0 with prosper, I get an error: (c:/TeX/texmf/tex/latex/prosper/prosper.cls Document Class: prosper 2000/11/02, v. 1.0h [...] ! Missing \endcsname inserted. \unhbox l.11 \lstinline| Protokoll| The used example: \documentclass[frames,ps]{prosper} \usepackage{listings}[2002/04/01 1.0]%Fehler \lstset{language=[R/3 4.6C]{ABAP}} % ----------------------------------------------------- \begin{document} \begin{slide}{Klassenansatz} \lstinline|Protokoll| \end{slide} \end{document} With version 0.21 (listing.sty) it worked fine. I informed Carsten Heinz (author of listings.sty) about the problem. Any idea from here how to solve the problem? 1I) Handling of long slide titles On Tue, 2 Jul 2002 10:00:56 -0700 (PDT), "Markus, Janos" reported have another question - when a slide title goes on to the next line, instead of the whole title going being shown, the whole title shifts upwards a little - as a result the first line of the title gets partially obscured - is there any way to fix this? and later provided the following solution Look into the style file you use (PPRxxxx.sty). There is the following definition: \def\slidetitle#1{\rput[lb](0.3,3.8){% \parbox{10cm}{\fontTitle{\baselineskip=0pt #1}}}} You might want to rename the style file (e.g. to mystyle.sty) and then modify the optional parameters of \rput. After thet, you have to modify the coordinates, too. Opt. parameters of \rput (refer to the pstricks manual) l reference-point on the left side r right side t top b bottom B baseline So, [lt] will set the reference-point of the title in the left upper corner, so if the size of the box changes, it won't move up. Accordingly, you have to modify the initial coordinates. E.g. if you want to have your title not to shift up (the coordinates are not adjusted exactly): \def\slidetitle#1{\rput[lt](0.3,4){% \parbox{10cm}{\fontTitle{\baselineskip=0pt #1}}}} 1J) Patches to PPRdarkblue Martin Bernreuther reported the following on Wed, 10 Jul 2002 12:37:30 +0200 Looking at PPRdarkblue.sty (line 93f): \ifinColor \myitem{1}{\includegraphics[width=.4cm]{red-bullet-on-blue.ps}} \myitem{2}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{green-bullet-on-blue.ps}} \myitem{3}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{yellow-bullet-on-blue.ps}} \else \myitem{1}{\includegraphics[width=.4cm]{red-bullet-on-white.ps}} \myitem{2}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{green-bullet-on-white.ps}} \myitem{3}{\includegraphics[width=.3cm]{yellow-bullet-on-white.ps}} \fi IMHO line 93 should be \ifcolorBG rather than \ifinColor If you choose slideColor combined with nocolorBG you will see bullets with blue instead of white background in the first case. There is still a problem with the combination colorBG and slideBW, since the background is processed like nocolorBG but the flag is set to colorBG. Maybe slideBW should also set \colorBGfalse in prosper.cls or the background should be colored in this case. Is there a possibility to use images with transparent background? I always adjust the background of my images to the background, which is some work and has to be redone if the position changes. Is something similar needed to the other style files. 1K) \slideparskip (or \parskip) The following two bug reports are from SourceForge \slideparskip ignored: To globally set the parskip, you are supposed to redefine \slideparskip with the seminar class. This doesn't work with prosper. It seems that the minpage environment resets the parskip value. I fixed this by inserting \sem@ptsize{\slide@ptsize} at 3 places in prosper.cls, after the lines \ifinColor\@fontTextColor\else\@fontTextBW\fi in SlideNormal and SlideOverlay. Unable to set parskip globally: Since the slides are set in a minipage, the values of \parskip and \parindent (as well as some other parameters) are reset to zero on every slide. Effectively, there is no way to control the paragraph distance globally. One option would be to ``borrow'' the \slideparskip, \slideparindent, etc from the underlying seminar class and set the values of \parskip, etc to these values after opening the minipage Another bug fix is by Joe B. Wells: % The following looniness makes Prosper pay attention to % \slideparskip. \newcommand{\Glork}[2][R] {\Gleep[#1]{#2}% \setlength{\parskip}{\slideparskip}} \let\origSlideNormal=\SlideNormal \renewcommand{\SlideNormal} {\let\Gleep=\origSlideNormal \Glork} \let\slide=\SlideNormal \let\origSlideOverlay=\SlideOverlay \renewcommand{\SlideOverlay} {\let\Gleep=\origSlideOverlay \Glork} 1L) Font encoding on title slide From a bug report on SourceForge There is a problem with font encodings on the title slide: My `umlaut's get lost in title, institution, etc. This seems to come from the \normalfont call in \maketitle which seems to get confused. I managed to work around this by putting a \renewcommand{\familydefault}{...} in my PPR file. 1M) \label in overlays From Marco Lombardi at SourceForge: \label ouside overlays Apperently, \label and related macros are not working if overlays are not active. I am not totally sure why is this happening. In any case I have modified the definition of \label into \def\label#1{% \ifInOverlays \ifnum\value{overlaysCount}>1 \else \Label{#1} \fi \else \Label{#1} \fi } thus adding a new \else block at the end. I guess that a similar change is neede for \label@in@display (and perhaps for other macros). 1N) Frames style: up-and-down movement The following has been reported on SourceForge: When using the "frames" style, the title vertical position is referenced to the lower edge of the bounding box rather than to the baseline. This results in the titles moving up and down depending on whether there are descenders or not. Solution: Anchor a \makebox{} using it's baseline (can't use a parbox, since they don't have baselines): \newcommand{\slidetitle}[1]{% \rput[rB](11.6,3.6){% \makebox{\fontTitle{#1}}}} 1O) Logo Placement From SourceForge [ 513255 ] Logo Placement When you try to include a logo, either with Logo(,){} or with defining a new style: - the logo never appears anywhere else but in the downleft corner (no matter the coordinates you give) - the whole slide loses, at the right hand side, space equal to the width of the included Logo I include my logo with \resizebox{x}{x}{\includegraphics} 1P) Title disappears in darkblue w/ slideBW From SourceForge [ 520709 ] Title disappears in darkblue w/ slideBW When using the darkblue style, and attempting to make printable slides (using slideBW), the first-slide title seems to be gone. The reason is that the title font is white, and when using slideBW the background of the first slide is white as well. The title actually appears, but is invisible. The solution is to make title text for slideBW, by the following change in PPRdarkblue.sty. What was before \FontTitle{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% \lightgray}{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% \white} is changed to \ifinColor \FontTitle{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% \lightgray}{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont% \white} \else \FontTitle{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont}{% \usefont{T1}{ptm}{b}{n}\fontsize{20.74pt}{20pt}\selectfont} \fi 1Q) ifInOverlays value not set to false From SourceForge [ 557345 ] ifInOverlays value not set to false The overlay command does not appear to set the ifInOverlays value back to false after the overlays in version 1.00.4. This causes the \stepcounter and \refstepcounter commands to not increment the counter. I propose the line "\InOverlaysfalse" should be added just before the final "}" and after the "\fi" in the definition of overlays. This appears to fix the problem. 1R) parentheses in bookmark string Reported on SourceForge: [ 582610 ] parentheses in bookmark string Unbalanced parentheses in bookmark string cause troubles. The uploaded patch will fix the problem. 1S) Title placement depends on title text Reported by spizkapa on SourceForge: [ 583840 ] Title placement depends on title text I think I've found a bug in the code. If one makes two slides one with title "hello" and one with title "go home", the first slide title will be placed higher than the second one. This is due to the letter 'g' hanging off the bottom of the line. It may not be a big problem for A4 slides but if you enlarge them (with psresize or poster) the difference if more obvious. The obvious solution is to use \vspace{-xxpt} to bring the titles to the same level. This may be implementable generically in the package but I'm unsure how one would go about it. 1T) Automatic counting of number of overlays Joe B. Wells has provided the following patch which determines the number of overlays needed from the \fromSlide, \onlySlide, and \untilSlide on the slide: \newcounter{currentOverlay} \newcounter{maxOverlay} % \recordOverlay{n} tells \overlayslide that overlay n exists. \newcommand{\recordOverlay}[1] {\ifnum #1>\value{maxOverlay}\relax \setcounter{maxOverlay}{#1}% \fi} % All material after \step appears on the next and subsequent % overlays. This also tells \overlayslide that the overlays exist. \newcommand{\step} {\StepCounter{currentOverlay}% \recordOverlay{\value{currentOverlay}}% \FromSlide{\thecurrentOverlay}} % This command should probably not exist. Don't use it. Just write % \step\item where needed. \newcommand{\stepitem}{\step\item} % All material after \FromOverlay{n} (until the next such command) % will appear on overlay n and all later overlays. This also tells % \overlayslide that overlay n exists. \newcommand{\FromOverlay}[1]{\recordOverlay{#1}\FromSlide{#1}} % \overlayslide{XYZ}{...} is like doing % \overlays{n}{\begin{slide}{XYZ}...\end{slide}} except that you can % also use the \step and \FromOverlay commands defined just above and % the value of n will be automatically determined from the uses of % \step and \FromOverlay. \long\def\overlayslide#1#2% {% #1 is TITLE % #2 is BODY \global\InOverlaystrue % we already _are_ global!!! \aftergroup\InOverlaysfalse % this seems completely daft! \setcounter{overlaysCount}{1}% \setcounter{maxOverlay}{1}% \ifDVItoPS \setcounter{currentOverlay}{1} \begin{slide}{#1} #2% \par\hbox{}% bizarre hack which works around strange Prosper problem \end{slide} \else \begin{Overlays} \bgroup \loop \setcounter{currentOverlay}{1}% \begin{slide}{#1}% #2% \par\hbox{}% bizarre hack which works around strange Prosper problem \end{slide}% \ifnum\value{overlaysCount}<\value{maxOverlay}\relax \StepCounter{overlaysCount}% \repeat \egroup \end{Overlays} \fi} 1U) description and enumerate nesting with \itemsep From Frdric Goualard's TODO: Do the same thing for description and enumerate as for itemize to prevent a bug when nesting them in an itemsep environment 2A) Support for vtex support for VTeX. Up to now, the one provided with the VTeX distribution has been written by some guys at VTeX, which means that it is likely they are providing an out-of-date version by now. 2B) A letter size mode Also reported on SourceForge [ 423834 ] Support for letter size My understanding is that prosper supports only A4 paper size. It would be nice to support letter size as well so that we in the U.S. can use it too. 2C) Remove extra movement in overlays On 04 Jun 2002 22:27:38 +0200, Ulrik Buchholtz reported the following I'm using prosper version 1.00.4 with turtleturtle's 2001-07-16 overlays patch. I want to have overlays showing incremental work on an equation. However, sometimes there is an unwanted movement of already present material. See the difference between page one and two in the following minimal example: ---------------------------- \documentclass[pdf]{prosper} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \overlays{2}{ \begin{slide}{Simple example} \begin{align*} a &\fromSlide{1}{=b} \\ &\fromSlide{2}{=d} \end{align*} \end{slide} } \end{document} ---------------------------- Notice how the first line of the equation moves to left from page one to page two. (I'm viewing the resulting pdf-file with acroread 4.05 for linux, but I don't think that has any importance.) For more complicated settings the effect can be a bit greater. I hope that it is clear what I want to do. Is there a better way to do it or is there a work-around for this apparent bug? 2D) pst-node node connections in overlays Micha reported the following incompatibility with pst-node of pstricks: theres an error displaying overlays containing node connections when the symbolic name of a node (rnode{foo}{stuff},rode{bar}{stuff}) is given in a slide before the node connection itself (ncline{foo}{bar}). Actually the line is drawn as soon as the first rnode is available giving me a line from the infinit upper left to the defined point. By now pst-node is not usable together with prosper. 2E) Graphics rotation rotates the whole slide The following is reported by Joerg: I am using prosper with the graphicx package and it works well. But when I want to include an eps-file with the following command \includegraphics[angle=90,width=\textwidth]{file.eps} ^^^^^ not only file.eps is rotated but the complete slide. The same occures when I use the rotating package in combination with the sideways enviroment and the includegraphics instruction. This is also reported on SourceForge [ 517880 ] rotating graphics Rotating graphics with the graphicx like \includegraphics[angle=90]{file} or the sideways envrioment (rotating package) turns not only the graphic but the whole slide. 2F) Color broken in center environment The following is reported on SourceForge Color broken in center environment \begin{center} \color{blue} text \end{center} produces black text, not blue (see attached example file). Somehow a special "ps: 0. setgray" finds its way into the dvi-file in front of "text". 2G) Shifted right or cropped The following has been reported on SourceForge. I might not be reproducible since it could be due to local misconfiguration: RedHat 7.2 teTeX 1.0.7 gnu ghostscript 6.51 acroread 4.05 dvips -Ppdf -G0 ps2pdf It appears that the entire slide is shifted right or cropped. Building the prosper-tour slides results in the caption running off the right margin at the "/" the "total pages" number is off-page. The pre-compiled prosper-tour.pdf files display fine. It's OK when looking at the .ps file with gv, but looking at the .pdf file with either acroread or xpdf chops off the right side of the page. Are the options to ps2pdf that need to be specified? 2H) problems with newest hyperref The following is reported on SourceForge problems with newest hyperref?: I have just installed the newest hyperref package [2001/04/05 v6.71e Hypertext links for LaTeX] and the newest prosper. I have problems with the contemporain style and an old presentation, I made two months ago. The problem occurs with the example.tex from the prosper class. >From the log: ! Undefined control sequence. \@secondoffive 2I) Color and makeindex The following bug report is taken from SourceForge (later version) color-package and prosper if I use this directive in the preambel \usepackage{color} the titel on the page created with \makeindex is always black. Has anyone solved this? 2J) Misalignments with tabular environments The following is submitted by Pietro Braione (braione@elet.polimi.it) on SourceForge [ 484291 ] Misalignments with tabular environments When \onlySlide / \onlySlide* are used inside a \tabular environment, it results in vertical misalignments and differences between the formatting of the overlays, which make the animation look bad. An example is enclosed. It might be solvable with the patches PMN has done to the slides and overlays. 2K) math is not longer displayed using gs 6. Uwe Brauer reported the following bug on SourceForge [ 497606 ] math is not longer displayed using gs 6. I am using prosper-1.04 for a while, together with ghoscript 6.02 and fonts version 6.5 pre complied from ahobe. I did not have any problems so far, but todaz for the first time I discovered that in the pdf file the mat symbols are presented by a simple line. It is not a fault of my acrobat reader, since the file prosper-tour.pdf get displayed correctly. However when the underlying tex file is compiled math get displayed correctly in the ps file, when converting it to pdf via ps2pdf, then gv displays math correctly but not acrobat reader. I am completly sunned by this. Any help would be strongly recommend since I want to present a lecture using prosper within 10 days. 2L) Multiple pictures and a white box Pau reported the following on SourceForge [ 492503 ] Multiple pictures and a white box I am trying to create a slide which uses the autumn background with the prosper package and has several postscript files on the same slide. To make the pictures clear, I added a white box and inserted the figues using the tabular command. The latex syntax is as follows \overlays{1}{% \begin{slide}{\small Dispersive Considerations 1 $h$ refinement} \onlySlide*{1}{ \setlength{\unitlength}{1in} \begin{center} \colorbox{white}{\makebox(3,2.5)[t]{ \begin{tabular}{cc} {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper1hq.eps}} & {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper0.5hq.eps}} \\ \hbox{$h=1$} & \hbox{$h=0.5$} \\ {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper0.25hq.eps}} & {\includegraphics[height=1in,width=1.2in,keepaspectratio=true]{disper0.125hq.eps}} \\ \hbox{$h=0.25$} & \hbox{$h=0.125$} \end{tabular}}} \end{center}}% \end{slide}} The slide appears fine in the normal view of acrobat reader, however, when I change to full screen mode, additional black lines appear and the figures are no longer visible. When I use only one postscript file, set against a white background I do not get this problem.... 2M) Incompatibility with french As kindly reminded as a bug report on SourceForge [ 505884 ] Bug with french How correct the bug with the package french of B. Gaulle ? 2N) Incorrect math alignment The following is reported by Angela on SourceForge: [ 506787 ] incorrect math alignment Math formulas involving subscripts are not typeset correctly. The PS file generated has correct formatting. The PDF file created with ps2pdf does not. The problem appears to truly belong to Prosper, since the same LaTeX formulae processed using, e.g. amsart class are typeset correctly both in PS and PDF. Example: compare the output of the following latex code under Prosper and under amsart.cls. Under Prosper: ---------clip here------------------------------ \documentclass[total,pdf,slideColor,colorBG,darkblue]{prosper} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{slide}{example} \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} &\exp\left(\frac{c_{pa}}{V}\,A\right)\\ &\exp\left(\frac{c_{ap}}{V}\,A\right)\\ \end{aligned} \end{equation*} \end{slide} \end{document} -------clip here-------------------------------- Under amslatex: --------clip here------------------------------- \documentclass[final]{amsart} \begin{document} \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} &\exp\left(\frac{c_{pa}}{V}\,A\right)\\ &\exp\left(\frac{c_{ap}}{V}\,A\right)\\ \end{aligned} \end{equation*} \end{document} --------clip here-------------------------------- Everything is as it should be in both the Prosper and amslatex PS files and in the PDF generated from the amslatex PS file (generated by ps2pdf). The PDF created from the Prosper file is not typeset correctly. Any work around or bug fix would be very much appreciated. Despite this small but annoying bug, I must offer you my sincere congratulations and many thanks for this fine software! [ 564909 ] incorrect math alignment I am having a problem already reported in January about math alignment in prosper as shown in the attached file. The postscript file is perfect and the problem appears whan I use ps2pdf. In the old bug report there was a follow up saying that dvipdf solves the problem but in my case it did not. I am using Debian packages: gs 6.53-3 gs-common 0.3.3 dvipdfm 0.13.2-3 prosper 1.00.4-4 I would be very grateful if somebody could suggest a way around this problem \documentclass[% pdf, colorBG, slideColor, frames ]{prosper} \usepackage{amsmath,pstricks} \def\npp{N_{{\uparrow}{\uparrow}}} \def\npm{N_{{\uparrow}{\downarrow}}} \def\nmp{N_{{\downarrow}{\uparrow}}} \def\nmm{N_{{\downarrow}{\downarrow}}} \def\nppo{\overline{N_{\uparrow\uparrow}}} \def\npmo{\overline{N_{\uparrow\downarrow}}} \def\nmpo{\overline{N_{\downarrow\uparrow}}} \def\nmmo{\overline{N_{\downarrow\downarrow}}} \def\set{\sigma_{et}} \def\se{\sigma_{e}} \def\st{\sigma_{t}} \def\so{\sigma_{0}} \begin{document} \begin{slide}{Asymmetries definition} \psellipse[linecolor=red](2.8,-1.0)(1.8,0.9) \psellipse[linecolor=green](3.0,-2.7)(1.3,0.75) \psellipse[linecolor=magenta](2.5,-4.4)(1.4,0.85) \begin{small} \begin{equation*} \begin{split} {\red A_e\sim\frac{\se+\se^N}{\so+\so^N}}=\frac{(\npp-\nmp)+(\npm-\nmm)}{(\npp+\nmp)+(\npm+\nmm)}\\[5mm] {\red A_t=\frac{\st}{\so}}=\frac{1}{f}\frac{(\npp+\nmp)-(\npm+\nmm)}{(\npp+\nmp)+(\npm+\nmm)}\\[5mm] {\red A_{et}=\frac{\set}{\so}}=\frac{1}{f}\frac{-(\npp-\nmp)+(\npm-\nmm)}{(\npp+\nmp)+(\npm+\nmm)} \end{split} \end{equation*} \end{small} \end{slide} \end{document} PMN: one reason to this bug might be the fact that Prosper uses very large fonts. Even when using postscript for the text, the math fonts are still taken from Computer Modern which are not scalable. So for large fonts, the correct font sizes for sub and superscripts does not exist and LaTeX does some quite heavy font substitutions (I've seen up to 1.26 pt). If this is the case, the solution might be to provide an option to ask LaTeX to generate the font sizes in tighter sizes. 2O) Repeated chars before subscript skip one Ric has reported the following on SourceForge [ 507134 ] repeated chars before subscript skip one This may be related to bug #506787. The following code produces correct ps, but in pdf one of the A chars is missing. This only occurs with matching chars (i.e. A A_X, but not A B_X). \documentclass{prosper} \begin{document} \begin{slide}{} \[ A A_X \] \end{slide} \end{document} prosper.cls has CVS id prosper.cls,v 1.5. Other versions: tetex-1.0.7 ghostscript-6.51 PDF is generated with pstopdf or dvipdf. 2P) \scalebox does not take 2 arguments From SourceForge [ 523856 ] \scalebox does not take 2 arguments When using prosper, I cannot do smth like: \usepackage{pstricks} ... \scalebox{1 -1} {..} It seems that \scalebox agrees to take only one parameter. It works fine with ever other class. As a result I cannot use Dia pstricks export. 2Q) Problem with prosper and \psgrid Reported by Christoph on SourceForge [ 551407 ] problem with prosper and \psgrid I have a problem with prosper.cls and pstricks.sty: \psgrid does not work, LaTeX reports an error and the resulting postscript file is broken. With article.cls everything works fine. Please help. I use prosper version: ====================== \typeout{CVSId: $Id: TODO,v 1.6 2002/08/05 14:47:04 turtleturtle Exp $} The error message is: ===================== !

When I compile the slides into postscript, it looks OK, but once I turn it into PDF, the middle arrow becomes slanted and the text within the second box breaks into two parts. An additional problem is that the PDFtransition command seems to have no effect. Does anyone have any idea what could be the problem ? $ \begin{array}{c@{\hskip 2cm}c} \hskip 2cm \rnode{model}{\psframebox[linecolor=white,linewidth=.05,framesep=.5,framearc=.3]{\white Model}} & \rnode{sample}{\psframebox[linecolor=white,linewidth=.05,framesep=.5]{\white\mbox{$Sample$}}} \end{array} \ncline[linecolor=white,arrowsize=7pt]{->}{model}{sample} \ncbar[arm=1cm,linecolor=white,arrowsize=7pt,linearc=.2,angle=-90]{<-}{model}{sample} \aput{:U}{\rnode{learn}{\mbox{\small Learning}}} $ 2S) Problem with epsfig or includegraphics Olli J. Marttila submitted the following on SourceForge [ 476863 ] problem with epsfig or includegraphics problem with epsfig or includegraphics I am using prosper for creating slides for examination paper answers. Answers in question are written in LaTeX and printed without problems. The material has been divided in blocks suitable to be transferred on slides. There is no problem to create text slides but there are figures, both in .eps and in .pdf form, that do not translate. Text in question follows: \begin{slide}{Fotonisteilyn vaimeneminen \\ ja elektronienergian kasvu} \begin{list}{}{} \item[e. ] %\includegraphics[0mm,0mm][90mm,100mm]{kuva2071.eps}% %\includegraphics[0mm,0mm][90mm,100mm]{kuva2072.eps} \epsfig{file=kuva2071.eps,height=8cm} \epsfig{file=kuva2072.eps,height=8cm} \end{list} \end{slide} The preamble is as follows: \documentclass[a4paper,ps,slideBW,nocolorBG,rico,dvips] {prosper} \usepackage[finnish]{babel} \usepackage[latin9]{inputenc} \usepackage{amsmath,epsfig} The .dvi file cannot be shown; instead an error message PostScript problem GhostScript error is displayed. I repeat, that a similar error message is not displayed when the conventional text slides a created; only on this one does not play. 2T) Output rotation From SourceForge [ 532877 ] Output rotation I tried to do a presentation with prosper and it did not work. I'm using teTeX, dvips -Ppdf, ps2pdf on Mandrake 8.1 with Acrobat 4 as my viewer. The typefaces come out OK, but every slide is slightly off center and rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise. 2U) Error displaying ps file in Yap By David Scott onSourceForge [ 489794 ] Error displaying ps file in Yap I am using miktex 2.1 with WinEdt 5 and Windows 98. I have gathered all the files I need so that I can latex my prosper slides. This appears to work without any problems. However when I try and view the dvi produced I get the message: Loading page 1... bad pa special unimplemented special: papersize=210mm,297mm phvbo8r: checksum mismatch 32: no glyph! phvr8r: checksum mismatch 32: no glyph! phvr8r: checksum mismatch 32: no glyph!

I am able to use the same latex file to produce dvi, postscript and pdf on our sun solaris machine. 2V) \vfill and \vspace*{\fill} The following bug has been reported by Nicolas Malandain on Tue, 12 Feb 2002 11:13:08 +0100 I don't know why but the latex command \vfill or \vspace*{\fill} doesn't work with prosper. Any idea ? 3A) Figure number when using caption J.G. Zhou reported (Fri, 14 Sep 2001 09:53:01 +0100) the following: I used the prosper.cls which is great. However, I got a little problem figures in my slide file -- use of \begin{figure} \includegraphics{foo.ps} \caption{foo} \label{foo.ps} \eng{figure} always generates a caption as "Fig. 0", no matter how many figures are included in myslide.tex. Fred Labrosse suggested the following, which I am however not sure is correct. In particular, note that the figure environment is used above. This is not a prosper problem but a LaTeX feature. \caption is meant to be used in figure (and others) environment and uses a counter incremented in this environment. Since you don't use the figure environment, the relevant counter is not incremented and keeps its value of 0. 2 solutions. The first is to use the figure environment but I doubt you really want to since it is a floating environment (and I am not even sure it is defined in prosper). The other one is to increment the counter: \refstepcounter{figure} before using \caption. Final comments from J.G. Zhou Thanks for your suggestions. I tried it. Unfortunately, none work for me. Also I noticed one difference between pdf and ps mode for slide. What I mean is that if \documentclass[pdf,...]{prosper} is used, the \caption always generates "Figure 0:...". However, if \documentclass[ps,...]{prosper}, \caption works fine. So I don't understand what causes this problem. Could you got any idea or clue? 4A) \inslides Command a command combining the functionality of \fromSlide, \onlySlide, and \untilSlide with a more flexible way to specify the pattern. Something like \inSlides{-3,5-6,8,10-}{text appearing on various overlyas} Of course, this should also appear in a starred version 4B) A portrait mode 4C) A notes mode In the style of seminar 4D) Generalize \itemstep The formatting used by the command should be made more user customizable, e.g., by introducing \itemstepCurrentStart and \itemstepCurrentEnd. These commands should both take one argument: the item's number. The current behavior of \itemstep would then be achieved using \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentStart}[1]{\FromSlide{#1}} \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentEnd}[1]{} While highlighting the current item could be achieved with \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentStart}[1]{\color{highlight}} \renewcommand{\itemstepCurrentEnd}[1]{\color{normal}} 4E) Formatting options to commands Similar in style to 4D the functionality and the formatting of the prosper commands should be divided. There should be a standard way to each command to change the formatting. This can be compared to the hacks of emacs functions. 4F) Turn of slide number The following has been requested by Richard Sudarmono on Fri, 7 Dec 2001 14:08:01 +0100 could anybody tell me, how can I get rid of the slide number? (I find only the 'total' & 'nototal' option, which don't help to solve the problem). 4G) Optional hyphenation Some people want to have hyphenation in the slides. To do this the effect of raggedright should be canceled. 4H) Navigation buttons Some people would like navigation buttons to navigate through the slides. An alternative suggestion is by Pedro Jorge Caridade on Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:24:12 +0000 Is it possible and in a simple way to overpass several layers in one slide by, for example, clicking on the slide title. (If it was just one slide it's ease with the nexpage command). 4I) Placement and form of slide number On Thu, 6 Jun 2002 16:07:00 -0500, "Luis A Escobar" asked the following suggestion: Has somebody done the work of modifying prosper.cls to modify the placement of the slide number? I would like to create a slide number of the type chapter # - slide #, i.e., 10-22, chapter 10 slide 22. Also i would like to get rid off the "-p" that shows with the slide number. And the following is requested by Stephen Eglen on SourceForge: Option to remove slide caption? many thanks for providing prosper. I just used it to create my first presentation. I was just wondering though if there is an easy way to remove the \slidecaption in the bottom right corner? I could find an option to not include the total page numbers, but how do I remove both the caption and the page count? For now I commented out the line in prosper.cls that writes the caption, but that seems a bit drastic! 4J) Global options It should be possible to provide other than prosper's. Since the consensus appear to be that style files start with PPR, that could be achieved by testing whether a file PPR
