Minimalist LaTeX Template for Academic Presentations

This repository contains a LaTeX template to create an academic presentation. The template uses the Beamer class . The template carefully follows typographical best practices and has a minimalist design.

Documentation

The template is documented at https://pascalmichaillat.org/d1/ .

• The font for text, roman math, and numbers is Source Sans Pro .
• The font for Greek and calligraphic math is Euler .
• No colors are used in the text (only grayscale) to reduce distraction; colors are reserved for graphs and alerts.
• Margins, spacing, and font size are set for comfortable reading.
• There are no frills at the periphery of the slides.
• Slides with figures, tables, and section headings can easily be inserted into the presentation.
• The aspect ratio is set to 4:3.
• The file presentation.pdf illustrates the output of the template.
• Clone the repository to your local machine.
• Start editing the LaTeX file presentation.tex to replace the boilerplate content with the content of your presentation.
• Replace the figures in the PDF file figures.pdf with the figures that will be included in the presentation. There should be one figure per page.
• Compile presentation.tex with pdfTeX. This will generate a new PDF file named presentation.pdf .
• The LaTeX style file presentation.sty collects all the commands to format the presentation. The file must be included in the same folder as presentation.tex . It can be modified to alter the presentation's format.
• The file presentation.pdf is not required to use the template. It only illustrate the output of the template, and will be overridden once presentation.tex is compiled.

The template was developed on a Mac with the MacTeX-2021 distribution, and it continues to work with the MacTeX-2023 distribution. Hopefully, it should also work on other machines and with other distributions.

How to make slides in LaTex

The beamer class.

The beamer class is a LaTeX class that allows you to create a beamer presentation. It can also be used to create slides. It behaves similarly to other packages like Prosper, but has the advantage that it works together directly with pdflatex, but also with dvips.

The Latex Beamer Class Homepage  provides with the steps to create a beamer presentation and some examples

Focus Presentation

This template creates modern presentation slides using the beamer class. The minimalist design lets you quickly enter your content and spend time honing your message rather than wasting time in presentation software. The template includes examples of many slide types which should cover most use cases as well as different ways of putting in your content no matter what it is and how you want to emphasize it.

Description

This template creates modern presentation slides using the beamer class. The minimalist design lets you quickly enter your content and spend time honing your message rather than wasting time in presentation software. The template includes examples of many slide types which should cover most use cases: title slide with presentation information, section slides to break up the talk, slides with a heading to show the main message, blank slides for showing a single piece of content and a “focus” slide for emphasizing content. All content slides can be numbered on the bottom with a progress bar to show progress through the talk, but the template includes the option to change this to a solid bar with a slide count or removed altogether.

The template features the Fira Sans font and has examples of emphasized, alerted, bold and example text with different styles for each. Text blocks can be used to draw viewer attention and segregate content within a slide, such as the Alert block that displays a red heading for important information. The template has examples of arranging content (text, images, lists, etc) as full-width paragraphs or into columns. Finally, the template has examples of including images, tables, references and equations.

This template was created by Pasquale Africa and was modified for this website by Vel .

Current Version

Usage Guide

Compilation.

This template should be compiled with standard pdflatex. As the template uses the TikZ package for some elements, you will need to compile two times to accurately position these elements.

Creating Slides

As this is a beamer class template, it uses the standard beamer syntax for creating each slide. Slides are enclosed in the frame environment which can take an optional argument for a title like this:

Other optional arguments for the slide are placed in square brackets and can be used to disable numbering the current slide ( noframenumbering ), aligning all content to the top ( t ) or removing the header and footer entirely ( plain ). See the beamer class documentation for other options.

Splitting Slides Into Columns

Beamer features the \columns environment for splitting slides into multiple columns. Each column is specified with a \column command along with the width of the column like so:

By default, a margin is added between the columns and this can be removed with the onlytextwidth option to the columns environment. Content in columns is vertically centered by default but can be aligned to the top with the T option (e.g. \begin{columns}[T] ).

Slides With Pauses

Sometimes it is useful to slowly reveal multiple things on a slide as you talk through it. Rather than creating a new slide for each extra piece of information (along with the previous information!), beamer makes it very easy to do this with the \pause command inside the frame environment. This command will automatically create new PDF pages for each \pause but slide numbering will be the same so it is functionally one slide. This is an example of how to use \pause :

Color Theme

The template uses a light grey/dark grey theme by default, but this can be changed to an ice-blue theme by uncommenting 2 lines at the top of the template defining the main and background colors. These colors can also be changed to any others for a different color theme.

Beamer Themes — Full List

Inbuilt themes in beamer

A theme in beamer can be set using the command \ usetheme{themeName} . Here is a 27 inbuilt themes in Beamer:

It should be noted that these themes apply changes to the global structure of the presentation.

1. Default theme

To use the default theme \usetheme {default} command should be added to the preamble. However, if no theme is specified then beamer will apply the default theme to all the frames.

Default frame is preferred when the user wants to customize the frames according to his/her purpose. It is easy to make local changes (color and font) in local structure in the default theme. Compiling the above code with default theme, we get the following:

2. AnnArbor theme

3. Antibes theme

4. Bergen theme

5. Berkeley theme

6. Berlin theme

A custom LaTeX Presentation Template

In my university, we frequently need to present our studies. One option is to build our presentation using LaTeX/Beamer presentation templates.

Beamer is very powerful and practical to build presentations, but we needed a template with different style, with many slides layout, which usually is not provided by the default templates.

After downloading or cloning this repository, you must edit the file presentation.tex to fill the content of the presentation. Firstly, take a look at the "Primary Definitions" part, at the begin of such a .tex , and modify its parties, whether is needed. if you compile the code without changing, it will look like this .

To set the default color of the presentation, you can use the command \setPrimaryColor{color} . This command supports one of the colors defined by the template or any color defined by the user.

To set the logo of the department or institute, from the authors take part, you must use the command \setLogos{path/horizontal_logo}{path/squared_logo} to inform the paths of two files. The first one is the logo in title slide - we recommend using a horizontal image - and the second one is the logo used in the remaining slides - we recommend using a square image.

To define a layout for a slide, you must use the command \setLayout{layoutname} , just informing the name of the layout you would like to use. This command must be placed before the command \begin{frame} of the slide you would like to change.

To define a color for the background of a slide, you must use the command \setBGColor{color} informing a color. This command must be placed before the command \begin{frame} of the slide you would like to change. The color may be one of the template’s colors or a personalized color defined by the user.

\textbf doesn't work in the template. How do I bold some texts?

• Location Brazil

Hi, I have not faced this problem. Can you detail your case? I suppose that in your case the style is overwritten in beamerthemeUfg.sty but I can not simulate this behavior yet.

I want to have some bold fonts for some normal texts on my slides but couldn't achieve that. What I tried doing was wrapping the texts in \textbf{} command since this boldens texts in normal LaTeX but nothing happened. The texts remained unbold.

This is intriguing, I can't reproduce it. Are you using pdfLaTeX as compiler? If you keep this problem a suggest you to use Overleaf overleaf.com/latex/templates/ufgte...

Check this, I'm using it directly in Overleaf and it is working nicely:

I'm compiling it with XeLaTeX on my ubuntu-based system, Pop!_OS, because it is required I use the Times New Roman font. I will certainly test it out on Overleaf.

Ah, ok. Using pdfLatex, try to use \usepackage{newtxtext,newtxmath} below \usetheme in tex file

To change the font of titles, comment line 11 in sty file

How to Make a Presentation in LaTeX

December 7, 2016 Trudy Firestone 5 Comments

When I was tasked with creating a presentation to share with my co-workers at our weekly tech talk, I chose to use LaTeX. While I briefly considered other tools, like Google Slides or PowerPoint, using LaTeX allowed me to easily separate the styling from my content and create my own theme that I could reuse for all future presentations at Lucid.

What? LaTeX for Presentations?

LaTeX is a typesetting and document creation tool that is often used for creating academic articles due to its ability to display mathematical equations. Beyond that, it has many other capabilities due to a large amount of packages, such as Forest, which I used for laying out sentence trees in a college Linguistics class. One such package, Beamer , allows you to create presentations. While Beamer lacks the simple click and drag functionality of a GUI tool in creating presentations, it makes up for it by automating a large portion of the stylistic work—as long as you like the default styles or are willing to write your own—and offering all the mathematical equations, graphs, and other tools available in LaTeX.

A sample Beamer document:

The Beamer commands are straightforward, and the flow of the presentation is easier to follow than it is in a GUI tool. While you could split the styling from the market using html and css, I enjoy using the Beamer package due to its concise creation of slides. Looking at a LaTeX file for a Beamer presentation is almost like looking at an outline which makes it more closely connected to the content the presentation is trying to convey. Unfortunately, I don’t like the default theme…or any of the other themes .

After lots of searching, however, I was able to create my own theme, lucid. Then, just by uncommenting \usetheme{lucid} , I was able to create a presentation I was pleased with. Only a few weeks ago, I was able to reuse the theme and create a new presentation with all the custom styling that I wanted in much less time than a GUI tool would have required to replicate my original theme.

Building Your Own Beamer Theme

While it’s easy to find documentation on creating a presentation using Beamer , it’s more difficult to locate documentation on building a Beamer theme. Therefore, I’m going to walk through creating a simple Beamer theme with its own title page, header and footer, and styled lists.

The first step in creating a Beamer theme is creating the following four files where “lucid” is the name of our new theme:

• beamerinnerthemelucid.sty
• beamerouterthemelucid.sty
• beamercolorthemelucid.sty
• beamerthemelucid.sty

While it’s not necessary to separate these into four files, it follows the pattern of Beamer’s own themes which allow for mixing and matching different parts of the theme. For instance, if we wanted to use the albatross color theme with the default theme we could replace \usetheme{lucid} in the above sample file like this:

And the output pdf would consist of this:

The three parts of a theme are:

• Inner: Defines the appearance of any items that make up the slides central content, e.g., lists or the title on the title page
• Outer: Defines the appearance of the chrome of the slide, e.g., the title and footer of each slide
• Color: Defines the colors used in various parts of the theme, e.g.,the color for frame titles or the background color

The final file, beamerthemelucid.sty, simply exists to combine all the parts of the theme into the main theme so it can be used without specifying each part of the theme.

beamerthemelucid.sty:

The change to presentation mode at the beginning of the file is added so that the .sty file will match the mode of the presentation .tex file. Beamer automatically converts all files with its document class to presentation mode. The rest of the file simply sets all the portions of the theme to the new lucid theme and then returns the file to the normal mode. Each of the .sty files used to create the theme needs to be put in presentation mode in the same way.

Right now, the theme doesn’t actually change anything. Everything is still using the default theme because we haven’t defined any new styles. Let’s start with the title page. Because the title is part of the inner content of the title page, the definition for its style goes into beamerinnerthemelucid.sty.

I want a title page that’s centered vertically and horizontally like the one in the default theme, but with a bigger font, a different color, and no date. So, let’s add the following to beamerinnerthemelucid.sty between the mode changes:

The \defbeamertemplate command creates a new template where the first argument is the mode, * in this case, the second argument is what the template is for, and the third argument is the name of the new template. To access the template elsewhere, the given name is used, in this case “lucid.” The final part of \defbeamertemplate is where the actual template is defined using arbitrary LaTeX code. In this case, we use common commands for centering and accessed the title and subtitle via \inserttitle and \insertsubtitle . To get the correct colors, we use \usebeamercolor which fetches the correct colors from the color theme based on the element name given, i.e., the name of the color. Similarly, \usebeamerfont fetches the correct font from the font theme, so that you can specify the font separately.

However, the color and the font remain unchanged, so we need to edit the color theme file next. I want white text on a dark background, so we need to change the background color first.

After adding these commands in beamercolorthemelucid.sty, the title page looks just about the way I want it. The background is gray, and the title and subtitle are in a new size and color. However, Beamer’s default links are still in the bottom right hand corner. To remove them, we add the following line to beamerouterthemelucid.sty because the footer is part of the outer theme.

Like \defbeamertemplate , \setbeamertemplate can be used to define a new template. The element that uses the template is immediately set to use the new template rather than being set separately. In this case, the navigation symbols element is set to empty.

Now that the title page looks just the way I want it to, we can move on to the content slides. While they already have the correct background color and are correctly lacking the navigation symbols in the footer, the title and subtitle are the wrong color and lack style.

Because the frame title is part of the outer theme, we add the following to beamerouterthemelucid.sty:

In addition to the now familiar Beamer commands, we use an if statement to differentiate between the cases of when there is and isn’t a subtitle, and we make use of a new package, tikz, which allows the user to create drawings in LaTeX. By using it in the template for the frametitle, we’ve added a rectangle to each frame title in the presentation. We set the color of the rectangle with the Beamer color frametitle-left which the command \usebeamercolor[fg]{frametitle-left} adds to the environment.

The colors and fonts are correctly reading from beamercolorthemelucid.sty, but it hasn’t been updated, so that’s the next step.

The content of the slides is still in the default style, so we turn to beamerinnerthemelucid.sty to modify the template for lists.

Just as \setbeamertemplate can be used to define a new template that is immediately applied, it can also be used to set a template defined by \defbeamertemplate earlier. square is defined by default in the beamer package, and it makes the bullets in an unordered list square.

To change the colors of content and the list items, we update beamercolortheme.sty again.

The last thing missing from our theme is a new footer. We need to add a page number and logo to each page.

Adding the above to beamerouterthemelucid.sty splits the footer in half, putting the page number out of the total number of pages on one side and a logo on the other. lucidsoftware-logo.png has to be included in the same directory for it to compile correctly. The if statement removes the page number from the first page.

Finally, we add the color for the page number to beamercolorthemelucid.sty:

Creating your own LaTeX theme allows for complete customizability, something you have to work very hard to achieve in more conventional presentational tools. It also makes it trivial to reuse the theme, avoiding wasted effort.
