# Beamer Snippets



The [Beamer][beamer] package enables [LaTeX][latex] to produce high quality

technical presentations and can be used in combination with the

[TikZ][tikz] package for including publication-quality diagrams in presentations.

However, formatting LaTeX presentations using Beamer and TikZ is

difficult and time consuming, so I often reuse code snippets from

previous presentations.

This repository contains a collection of snippets I'm gathering from

my papers and presentations, which are best viewed on

[this webpage](http://bamos.github.io/beamer-snippets/).

See my other LaTeX projects at [bamos/cv][cv] and

[bamos/latex-templates][latex-templates].

## Contributing.

Contributions are highly welcomed!

Please add to the [snippets][snippets] directory, modify the

[preamble][preamble], and send a pull request.

If you substantially modify the preamble, I recommend keeping

your repo as a fork, and I'll keep a list of forks in this README.



## Webpage Generation Process.

The Python 3 script [generate.py][gen] produces a static website in `dist`.

`generate.py` loops through the collection of snippets and uses

[Jinja][jinja] templates to output LaTeX documents.

[Makefile.slides][mf] is then used to generate PNG images from

each slide, and Jinja HTML templates are used to create `index.html`.



### Grunt

[Grunt][grunt] is used to deploy `dist` to [Github pages][ghp]

in the [gh-pages][bs-ghp] branch with the [grunt-build-control][gbc] plugin.

The [npm][npm] dependencies are managed in [package.json][pjson]

and can be installed with `npm install`.



+ `grunt generate` produces the static site in `dist`, and

+ `grunt deploy` pushes the `dist` directory to the `gh-pages` branch.
