\begin{block}{Requirements of the Template}
|
|
In order for your poster to compile properly, up-to-date versions of the following packages are required:
|
|
\vskip1ex
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item latexbeamer
|
|
\item pgf (Tikz)
|
|
\item beamerposter
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
\vskip1ex
|
|
All of those packages are contained in both the MikTeX and the TexLive distribution of LaTeX.
|
|
\end{block}
|
|
\vskip2ex
|
|
\begin{block}{A Standard Block}
|
|
The standard block environment looks like this. It has justified text and a green title with an underline. You can create one like so:
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
{\color{red}\\begin}\{{\color{blue}block}\}\{Title\}\newline
|
|
\hskip1ex.......\newline
|
|
{\color{red}\\end}\{{\color{blue}block}\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
\end{block}
|
|
\vskip2ex
|
|
\begin{alertblock}{An ``Alert'' Block}
|
|
The ``alert'' block environment looks like this. It also has justified text, but it has a border and a light background to make it stand out. You can create one like so:
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
{\color{red}\\begin}\{{\color{blue}alertblock}\}\{Title\}\newline
|
|
\hskip1ex.......\newline
|
|
{\color{red}\\end}\{{\color{blue}alertblock}\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
\end{alertblock}
|
|
\end{column}
|
|
|
|
\begin{column}{\sepwid}\end{column} % empty spacer column
|
|
\begin{column}{\threecolwid} % create a three-column-wide column and then we will split it up later
|
|
\begin{block}{Altering Column Spans}
|
|
You can make columns that span multiple other columns relatively easily. Lengths are defined in the template that make columns look normal-ish if you want to use a four-column layout like this poster. If you want to use a different number of columns, you will have to modify those lengths accordingly at the top of the poster.tex file.
|
|
|
|
In particular, near the top of the TeX file you will see lines that look like:
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
\hskip1ex\\setlength\{\\sepwid\}\{0.024\\paperwidth\}
|
|
|
|
\hskip1ex\\setlength\{\\onecolwid\}\{0.22\\paperwidth\}
|
|
|
|
\hskip1ex\\setlength\{\\twocolwid\}\{0.464\\paperwidth\}
|
|
|
|
\hskip1ex\\setlength\{\\threecolwid\}\{0.708\\paperwidth\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
|
|
Set ``sepwid'' to be some small length somewhere near 0.025 (this is the space between columns). Then if $n$ is the number of columns you want, you should set
|
|
\begin{align*}
|
|
\text{onecolwid} & = \frac{1}{n}(1-(n+1)\times\text{sepwid}), \\
|
|
\text{twocolwid} & = 2\times\text{onecolwid} + \text{sepwid}, \\
|
|
\text{threecolwid} & = 3\times\text{onecolwid} + 2\times\text{sepwid}.
|
|
\end{align*}
|
|
\end{block}
|
|
\begin{columns}[t,totalwidth=\threecolwid] % split up that three-column-wide column
|
|
\begin{column}{\onecolwid}
|
|
\setbeamercolor{block title}{fg=red,bg=white}%frame color
|
|
\setbeamercolor{block body}{fg=black,bg=white}%body color
|
|
\begin{block}{Block Colours}
|
|
For the standard blocks there are two colours; one for the title and one for the block body:\\
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
{\color{red}\\setbeamercolor}\{block title\}\newline \{fg=red,bg=white\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
{\color{red}\\setbeamercolor}\{block body\}\newline \{fg=black,bg=white\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
The \emph{fg} colour sets the text colour and \emph{bg} sets the background colour.
|
|
For the normal blocks it makes no sense to use a background colour other than white. You \emph{can} change it, but it will look weird!
|
|
\end{block}
|
|
\end{column}
|
|
\begin{column}{\onecolwid}
|
|
\setbeamercolor{block alerted title}{fg=black,bg=norange} % frame color
|
|
\setbeamercolor{block alerted body}{fg=black,bg=white} % body color
|
|
\begin{alertblock}{Alert Block Colours}
|
|
You can similarly modify the colours for alert blocks (but try not to overdo it):\\
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
{\color{red}\\setbeamercolor}\{block title\}\newline \{fg=black,bg=norange\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
\begin{semiverbatim}
|
|
{\color{red}\\setbeamercolor}\{block body\}\newline \{fg=black,bg=white\}
|
|
\end{semiverbatim}
|
|
\end{alertblock}
|
|
\end{column}
|
|
\begin{column}{\onecolwid}
|
|
