The Documents:

The presentation slide package is built on beamer, setting up the templates
to produce a UNH slide presentation package.

The contents of the latex files include those that configure the attributes
of the latex document and set up the UNH slide presentation. These include
files that need to be edited in each case by the user:

 PRESENTc.tex        - the control file that configures the latex document.
                       You can now set the aspect ratio to be the standard
                       4:3 document, or set it to a 16:9 aspect ratio used
                       on high defintion displays.
 PRESENTdef.tex      - defines author, title and institution attribues.
 PRESENTabstract.tex - sets the abstract for the presentation.
 PRESENTtext.tex     - contains the text of the document.
 POSTERc.tex         - the control file that processes PRESENTcond.pdf using
                        ./bin/mkposter to a poster (edit file to modify optons).

and files ./prepost that configure the several pages before the abstract
and at the end of the presentation that ordinarily are not edited by the
user unless they prefer to further customize or adjust the slide layout.
These files in ./prepost include:

 PRESENTpreable.tex  -  defines the latex environment for the presentation.
 PRESENTwrapper.tex  -  construct slide attributes and the background image.
 PRESENTtrailer.tex  -  the last slide of the document.
 commands.tex        -  extra commands that are used.

Among these, ./prepost/commands.tex contains the preferred user commands
and can be customized by the user to suit their writing preferences.


The directory ./sfiles contains all of the standard image files used, 
and the directory ./sty contains the style files used by the document. In 
addition, the ./lib directory is used to convert the theme from color to
grayscale when running ./bin/mkallpdf. In general it should not be necessary
to touch these files at all unless you are needing to change the layout of the
slides. The package has been set up so that all figures should be placed
into the ./figs directory, and the call does not need to include the
path to the figures that are placed into ./figs. For example, 
 \includegraphics[scale=0.28]{latex.png}

The file ./bin/mkallpdf converts the slides to grayscale 2x2 and 3x3,
and also produces slides as 2x2 and 3x3 color documents. In addition,
a copy of the document is converted to a handout.


..............................................................................
Processing the files

Run xelatex using the command
 xelatex PRESENTc

to produce the entire document. As usual, it may require two passes to fully
construct the file.

..............................................................................
Scripted Conversion from color to monochrome:

Requirements for scripted conversion of documents from color to monochrome:
 TexLive, zsh, and that your bin search path includes the local directory
 and the ./bin directory.

To convert the file to monochrome suitable for multipage printing, use
 ./bin/mkbwpdf

making the file PRESENTbw.pdf.


The file ./bin/mkallpdf converts the slides to grayscale 2x2 and 3x3,
and also produces slides as 2x2 and 3x3 color documents. In addition, a copy of
the document is converted to a handout, and the file is also converted to html.
To manually convert to a handout, use the commented out \documentclass line in
PRESENTc.tex containing the handout option instead of the standard documentclass
line.

To clean up all files, run
 ./bin/mkclean

..............................................................................
Scripted generation of POSTERc

Run the script ./bin/mkposter to generate POSTERc.pdf. It is configured
for a 5x3 layout of the slides in PRESENTcond.pdf so that these values need
to be adjusted in the file POSTERc.tex to have a full page for the poster.

To manually build POSTERc.pdf, do:

 - Copy PRESENTc.tex to PRESENTcond.tex
 - Edit PRESENTcond.tex, changing the \documentstyle line so that the handout
   option is selected (uncomment the second line in the file), then run
     pdflatex PRESENTcond
 - If the file PRESENTcond.pdf is successfully generated, do:
     pdflatex POSTERc

There is a backup copy of PRESENTcond.tex saved in ./lib/PRESENTcond.tex
so that if PRESENTc.tex was not modified, it can be copied to PRESENTcont.tex
to build POSTERc.pdf.
