NAME
impressive-gettransitions - Generate Impressive info scripts for LaTeX
presentations
SYNOPSIS
impressive-gettransitions FILE.tex
DESCRIPTION
A simple script to produce a .info file for use with Impressive, using
special comments in a LaTeX/Beamer file. FILE.tex is a file to be
parsed into .info file. For each /fullpath/blah.tex
/fullpath/blah.pdf.info gets produced.
SYNTAX
In the LaTeX document, impressive-gettransitions counts the pages to
determine the PDF slide number of each one.
The simpler page changes are automatically detected, that is:
\begin{frame} and:
\pause
Other, more elaborated page changes must be noted with a %O comment:
\item<1-> Foo
\item<2-> Bar %O
The transition to apply can be specified in a %O comment:
\begin{frame} %O SlideUp
OPERATION
When the .info file corresponding to the LaTeX document already exist,
impressive-gettransitions does not clear it, but only adds the
transitions if finds to it.
Thus, if you modified your document in a way that requires to
completely replace the transitions, manually clear the PageProps
section of the .info file. This can be done by running the following
sed command:
sed -i -e "/^PageProps = {/,/^}/d" FILE.info
