Elpres v1.1 2024-05-29

Short description

The elpres class is intended to be used for presentations on a screen or with a beamer/projector. It is derived from LaTeX’s article class and can be used with with LaTeX, pdfLaTeX and LuaLaTeX. The default "virtual paper size" of presentations generated by this class corresponds to a 4:3 (width:height) aspect ratio. Other aspect ratios for widescreen monitors (16:9, 16:10) are available.

The elpres class requires: ifthen, fancyhdr, hyperref, graphicx, xcolor and geometry.

For enhanced features the packages ragged2e, overlays, wallpaper, eso-pic, tcolorbox and footmisc are useful.

A homepage for the elpres project: http://vkiefel.de/elpres.html with additional material.

Installation

For a working installation of elpres.cls it is required that all of the following files:

elpres.cls,
elpresbluelightgrayscheme.sty,
elpresgrayscheme.sty,
elpreswhitebluescheme.sty,
elpreswhiteredscheme.sty,
elpreswhitetealscheme.sty,
ep-ball-01.png,
ep-ball-02.png,
ep-ball-03.png,
ep-ball-04.png,
ep-ball-05.png,
ep-ball-01.eps,
ep-ball-02.eps,
ep-ball-03.eps,
ep-ball-04.eps,
ep-ball-05.eps

(in short: elpres.cls and all *.sty, *.png and *.eps files) are copied into a directory in the .../tex/...-branch of a texmf-tree like ../texmf/tex/latex/elpres, where texmf may be texmf-dist or texmf-local or an analogous directory.

The manual and the example file:

elpres-manual.pdf,
elpres-manual.tex,
elpres-example.pdf,
elpres-example.tex,
ctan-lion.pdf

are to be copied into a directory of the .../doc/...-branch of a texmf-tree like ../texmf/doc/latex/elpres, where texmf may be texmf-dist or texmf-local or an analogous directory. Finally the file location database (e.g. ls-R) should be updated. More details can be found in the manual.
