I'm a neophyte to Tex and all of it's forms, though I've used LaTeX in the past.  Mostly I've find some thing that someone else created then modified to suit my needs.  I've undertaken a project at work to put together a new, custom Beamer theme for my department and, given my neophyte status, have run into a brick wall.  Ultimately, this is what I want:    but, with my beamerinnerthemeViciCustom.sty:  \mode&lt;presentation&gt;  %\setbeamertemplate{background}{ %   \begin{figure}[t] %   \hspace*{-1cm} %   \includegraphics[width = \paperwidth]{top_box} %   \centering %   \end{figure} % %   \begin{figure}[b] %   \hspace*{-1cm} %   \includegraphics[width = \paperwidth]{bottom_box} %   \centering %   \end{figure} % %   \begin{figure}[b] %   \hspace*{-1.5cm}\vspace*{-1.73cm} %   \includegraphics[width = \paperwidth]{footer_box} %   \centering %   \end{figure}% %}   % Title page \defbeamertemplate*{title page}{ViciCustom}[1][] {  \begin{figure}[t] \hspace*{-1cm} \includegraphics[width = \paperwidth]{top_box} \centering \end{figure}  \begin{figure}[b] \hspace*{-1cm} \includegraphics[width = \paperwidth]{bottom_box} \centering \end{figure}  \begin{figure}[b] \hspace*{-1.5cm}\vspace*{-1.73cm} \includegraphics[width = \paperwidth]{footer_box} \centering \end{figure}%  %   \vskip2cm% %   \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd = 12cm, leftskip= 3cm, sep = 8pt, #1]{title     page header} %       \usebeamerfont{title}\inserttitle\par %   \end{beamercolorbox}% } \mode&lt;all&gt;   I get this:    Clearly, I'm nowhere close to what I want.  I haven't even attempted to add the logo box.  I THINK what I want is to have the images in the \setbeamertemplage{background}{} (which is why I've included it here), but when I have the images there, I get   ! LaTeX Error: Something's wrong--perhaps a missing \item.   on line 15 from my .tex file  \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}  \title{Here's a thing}  \usetheme{ViciCustom}  \begin{document}  \begin{frame} \titlepage \end{frame}  \end{document}   I've found  but this is drawing boxes with tikz rather than inserting images.  Maybe I'm too dense to know how to modify the excellent tutorial presented above?  I'd love some guidance; as a complete newbie to Tex/LaTex/MikTex, etc., I know I need to educate myself some more but I'm incredibly frustrated that I can't even make pictures go where I want them to go.  If you'd like, here's a .  Please note that the boxes are representations of what will be in the title slide.  In other words, they're not just boxes filled with color.

With a regular article/report/... class, you can use the showframe package to draw outlines of where the various regions of the page lie.  I cannot get the same functionality with beamer, however.  Using geometry with its showframe option similarly does not work.  How can I get this functionality with beamer?  MWE:  \documentclass{beamer}  %\usepackage[showframe]{geometry}  % Doesn't work \usepackage{showframe}             % Doesn't work  \begin{document}  \begin{frame}{Slide Title} \centering Centered Text \end{frame}  \end{document}   Edit:  A similar question is posed  that asks for a diagram depicting the layout of the page with lengths of various parameters given.  The \layout package gives this output when applied to the MWE:    While this output gives margin information and general layout information, it does not give the visual output that I am looking for, with boxes overlaid on my own content. I am less interested in seeing the value of margins and other lengths than I am in visualizing the fit of my own content on the slide and seeing how close the boxes actually are to content.  This is why I desire functionality more close to what the showframe package would provide.

How to layout images like the attached picture? Should I arrange them as tables or subfigure or some other layout? Thanks.    This is my latex code:  \begin{figure} \centering \subfloat[]{\includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt+3pt*2)/2\relax]{fish}}% \hfill \subfloat[]{\vbox{\offinterlineskip\halign{#\hskip3pt&amp;#\cr   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}&amp;   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}\cr   \noalign{\vskip3pt}   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}&amp;   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}\cr   }}}  \subfloat[]{\vbox{\offinterlineskip\halign{#\hskip3pt&amp;#\cr   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}\cr   \noalign{\vskip3pt}   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}\cr   }}}  \subfloat[]{\vbox{\offinterlineskip\halign{#\hskip3pt&amp;#\cr   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}\cr   \noalign{\vskip3pt}   \includegraphics[width=\dimexpr(\textwidth-15pt-3pt*2)/4\relax]{fish}\cr   }}}  \caption{Test images} \end{figure}   The result is:    How to put "(d)" to the right of "(c)"?  Update: Thank Johannes_B, subcaption is the easiest way to meet my requirement. My code is:   \begin{figure}     \begin{subfigure}[b]{.237\textwidth}         \centering         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_a}         \caption{Our}\label{fig:1a}     \end{subfigure}     \hfill         \begin{subfigure}[b]{.237\textwidth}         \centering         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_b}         \caption{Adaptive order selection}\label{fig:1b}     \end{subfigure}     \hfill         \begin{subfigure}[b]{.15\textwidth}         \centering         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_c_1}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_c_2}         \caption{Another subfigure}\label{fig:1c}     \end{subfigure}     \hfill     \begin{subfigure}[b]{.15\textwidth}         \centering         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_d_1}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_d_2}         \caption{Another subfigure}\label{fig:1c}     \end{subfigure}     \hfill     \begin{subfigure}[b]{.15\textwidth}         \centering         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_e_1}         \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{image_e_2}         \caption{Another subfigure}\label{fig:1c}     \end{subfigure}     \hfill \caption{A figure}\label{fig:1} \end{figure}

An easy way to get a different footline for a given frame is to declare the template locally.  For example, to have a footline with the text my special footline, one can write:  \documentclass{beamer}  \begin{document}  { \setbeamertemplate{footline}{my special footline} \begin{frame}   \titlepage \end{frame} }  \end{document}   Hence, my question:  Is it possible to modify a theme such that the footline automatically reads as my special footline on the title page when one enters  \begin{frame}   \titlepage \end{frame}    P.S. A simple solution would be to test the number of the frame.  However, it does not apply in my case since this assumes that there is necessarily a title page.

I actually like the bullets shown when using \useoutertheme{miniframes}, but for the long talk I have to give there are just ridiculously many.     Is it possible to keep the same theme and just removing the bullets, and then displaying slide numbers instead?  Here is a minimal example:  \documentclass[compress, final]{beamer}     \usetheme[height=0mm]{Rochester}     \usecolortheme{dolphin}     \useinnertheme{rectangles}     \useoutertheme[footline=empty, subsection=true]{miniframes}  \begin{document}  \begin{frame}{Test frame}     \begin{block}&lt;+-&gt;{Block}         Beamer is cool     \end{block} \end{frame}  \end{document}

I have to prepare my slides in latex. A quick search came up with different packages. Before start preparing, I need your experiences. I do not want to regret after learning one as I did, learning vim (now can not quit) instead of emacs.  EDIT: After asking this question at that time, I start learning Beamer. Now I'm really happy with that, I created my own template and now it's easier just copying from my .tex files to beamer template. I recommend beamer for powerpoint users who are actively using latex .

I want to make a cover page as the attached figure. The problem is that the beamer has, by default, the macros predefined: \author{} \title{} ', ... and their location is fixed by default. Could you help me?  Here is my code:  \title[Short Paper Title]   {presentation}  \subtitle {About some things}  \author   { Author}   \institute  { Department of Computer Science\\ University of Somewhere }  \date  {\today}

I write some of my network notes in TeX. I wanted to make a table, and inside it insert an image:   .   I wrote a document:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} \usepackage{booktabs} \usepackage{array}  \begin{document} \begin{tabular}{m{3cm}m{3cm}m{5cm}} \toprule Configuration for ... &amp; Commands &amp; Topology\\ \midrule PPP: CHAP, PAP &amp; \#sh int se 0/0/0  &amp; \includegraphics[width=4cm, height=4cm]{chappap.png}\\  &amp; &amp; \\ \bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{document}   But instead of my network topology image, I see only this: .   I don't know what is wrong, cause my image is 100% in the same dir, as my *.tex file.  EDIT:  Changed my code as @Jubobs suggested, now everything is as I wanted:  \documentclass{article}     \usepackage{graphicx}     \usepackage{booktabs}     \usepackage{array}      \begin{document}     \begin{tabular}{m{3cm}m{3cm}m{5cm}}     \toprule     Configuration for ... &amp; Commands &amp; Topology\\     \midrule     PPP: CHAP, PAP &amp; \#sh int se 0/0/0  &amp; \includegraphics[width=4cm, height=4cm]{chappap.png}\\      &amp; &amp; \\     \bottomrule     \end{tabular}     \end{document}

I'd like to combine the split and miniframes themes of beamer. For example, I would have the miniframes appear in the right half of the title bar (where the subsections appear). If there are any subsections, I'd have the miniframes below or next to the subsection title. This is a sample document.  \documentclass[compress,aspectratio=43]{beamer}  \useoutertheme{miniframes} \useoutertheme{split} %\setbeamertemplate{headline}[miniframes theme] \usecolortheme{whale}  \begin{document}  \section{First Section} \frame{} \frame{} \frame{}  \section{Second Section}  \subsection{sub1} \frame{} \frame{} \frame{}  \subsection{sub2} \frame{} \frame{} \frame{}  \end{document}   I won't ask if it's possible, because everything is possible with TeX, but rather whether someone can help me :)  To show what I mean, these are the headlines with miniframes:    These are with split:    And I want something like this mockup:

The footnote is printed inside the box. I want it to be below the box.

I'm adding a title clock in the foot line of a beamer slide, if I compile it with pdfLaTeX it works fine; while the clock doesn't align in the middle vertically if compiling with XeLaTeX. How can I fix this.

Hi I am wondering whether it is possible to place the beamer footnotes into multiple columns or display as horizontal, instead of vertical.   \documentclass{beamer} \usepackage{booktabs} \begin{document}  \begin{frame} \begin{table}[htbp]   \centering %  \caption{Add caption}             \resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%     \begin{tabular}{rrr}     \toprule     \centering     Animal estimated by tracking  &amp; \textbf{2 Equation approach} &amp; 1 Equation \\     50\%   &amp; $\frac{\partial C\footnote{dye }(t,\vec{x})}{}$      &amp;  \\      &amp;  $\frac{\partial \alpha\footnote{age }(t,\vec{x})}{}$     &amp; $\frac{\partial A\footnote{A refers to "animal"}}{}$ \\     \bottomrule     \end{tabular}}% %  \label{tab:addlabel}% \end{table}% \end{frame} \end{document}   I would appreciate if anyone could explain me how to get the horizontal footnotes.

I just uninstalled TeX Live 2016 and installed TeX Live 2017 and I noticed that the vertical alignment of author and title in any beamer presentation with Warsaw theme has been disrupted. In this example the author is JESTIN and the title is Beamer Intro. How can I vertical center them?  Moreover, I just found the same bug in the beamer guide obtained writing texdoc beamer in the command prompt, in the part of a warsaw presentation.    Here is my code:  \documentclass{beamer}  \usetheme{warsaw}  \title[Beamer Intro]{Beamer - Introduction to \LaTeX{} presentation making} \author[JESTIN]{Jestin Joy}  \begin{document}  \begin{frame}   \titlepage \end{frame}  \end{document}

This question is similar to . I want to achieve the horizontal shading effect in the frametitle and when I use  \setbeamertemplate{frametitle}[horizontal shading] [left=red, right=white]   I get compilation errors:  LaTeX Error: Missing \begin{document}. [[]   Vertical shading seems to work just fine.

I want to include a sequence of images in Beamer (although it can be in another type of document). Something similar to the option Photo Album in LibreOffice and MS PowerPoint.  What I did is to make a template (that I can modify):  %s \begin{frame}     \frametitle{%s}     \framesubtitle{%s}     \centering     \includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{%s}  \end{frame}   And then I use a Python script to generate the code for each frame, like this:  tex_file = open(filename + '.tex', 'a+') for name in list_files:     print &gt;&gt; tex_file, s1 %(comment, title, subtitle, name)  tex_file.close()   After that I just use an \include in my main file to add the sequence of images.   My question: Is there a package for this task? or a better way to do it?

I'm on Adobe Creative Cloud, so I have the latest InDesign, and I'm attempting to design a poster for my choir's next concert. Traditionally, I've done this in Photoshop, in two separate files, however I've recently started using InDesign after converting to it to create wedding albums through Blurb.  I've created an A4 document, and created an alternate-layout for it in A5. I've then lined them up side-by-side, and I've added a black frame to the A4 page, to act as the black background for my page (by the way, feel free to advise on better ways to do this).  My assumption is that I've failed to understand how this works, as I was hoping that I'd magically get a black frame on the A5 version, and that I could use liquid layout to get this to automatically scale (along with all other elements), in order to create the two versions simultaneously.  All help/advice would be greatly appreciated!
