### Motivation
|
|
|
|
The [Beamer](https://github.com/josephwright/beamer) package is very popular for making pdf
|
|
presentations from LaTeX, and also supported from Markdown and
|
|
[RMarkdown](https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown). This package (currently)
|
|
provides functionality to use the following custom (LaTeX) themes for
|
|
[Beamer](https://github.com/josephwright/beamer) directly via RMarkdown:
|
|
|
|
- [Metropolis](https://github.com/matze/mtheme) (formerly `mtheme`) by Matthias Vogelgesang
|
|
([longer demo](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/metropolis_demo.pdf))
|
|
- [IQSS](https://github.com/IQSS/iqss-beamer-theme) by Ista Zahn
|
|
([longer demo](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/iqss_demo.pdf))
|
|
- [Presento](https://github.com/RatulSaha/presento) by Ratul Saha
|
|
([longer demo](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/presento_demo.pdf))
|
|
- [Monash](https://github.com/robjhyndman/MonashEBSTemplates) by Rob J Hyndman
|
|
(longer demos [one](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/monashDemo.pdf) and
|
|
[two](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/monashOptions.pdf))
|
|
|
|
The original LaTeX styles been converted to be directly useable from
|
|
[RMarkdown](https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown)
|
|
|
|
### Examples
|
|
|
|
#### Metropolis
|
|
|
|
Consider the following minimal example, adapted from the original minimal example at the bottom of
|
|
the [Metropolis](https://github.com/matze/mtheme) page:
|
|
|
|

## First Frame
|
|

Hello, world!

|
It creates a [three-page pdf file](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/metropolis_minimal.pdf) which
|
|
we converted into this animated gif
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### IQSS
|
|
|
|
Similarly, for IQSS we use the following input adapting the example above but showing sections and
|
|
subsections for the nice headings it generates:

which can be converted into this animated gif:

### Monash
|
|
|
|
Below is an example of the [Monash Business School](https://www.monash.edu/business) theme
|
|
by [Rob Hyndman](https://robjhyndman.com/). There also two longer Monash demos included in the
|
|
package: [longer demo](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/monashDemo.pdf) and [options
|
|
demo](https://eddelbuettel.github.io/binb/monashOptions.pdf).
|
|
|
|
(The source is a little longer [and included in the
|
|
repo](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/binb/blob/master/inst/rmarkdown/templates/monash/skeleton/skeleton.Rmd)
|
|
and package so not shown here.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Status
|
|
|
|
The package is fairly new and susceptible to change, but on
|
|
[CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/).
|
|
|
|
### Usage
|
|
|
|
The package is on [CRAN](https://cran.r-project.org/) and can be installed
|
|
via a standard
|
|
|
|
```r
|
|
install.packages("binb")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
and can then be used as a Markdown template via RStudio, or via code such as
|
|
|
|
```r
|
|
library(rmarkdown)
|
|
draft("myslides.Rmd", template="metropolis", package="binb", edit=FALSE)
|
|
setwd("myslides") ## template creates a new subdir
|
|
render("myslides.Rmd")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
to create a first draft of a new `myslides.Rmd`.
|
|
|
|
Once installed, the above code examples should work as expected.
|
|
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
|
|
Beyond the R package dependencies, a working `pandoc` binary is needed. RStudio installs
|
|
its own copy, otherwise do what is needed on your OS (_i.e._, something like `sudo apt-get
|
|
install pandoc pandoc-citeproc`).
|
|
|
|
The [Metropolis](https://github.com/matze/mtheme) LaTeX package is used, but we assume
|
|
that is is installed via TeXLive, MikTeX or another LaTeX bundle. The LaTeX code for the
|
|
[IQSS Beamer Theme](https://github.com/IQSS/iqss-beamer-theme) and the [Presento
|
|
Theme](https://github.com/RatulSaha/presento) are included (and adapted for
|
|
[RMarkdown](https://github.com/rstudio/rmarkdown) use).
|
|
|
|
These themes use additional (free) fonts you may need to install:
|
|
|
|
- [Metropolis](https://github.com/matze/mtheme) wants [Fira Sans](https://github.com/mozilla/Fira)
|
|
but can proceed with alternate fonts;
|
|
- [IQSS Beamer Theme](https://github.com/IQSS/iqss-beamer-theme) wants
|
|
[Libertinus](https://github.com/libertinus-fonts/libertinus), see the
|
|
[IQSS Beamer Theme](https://github.com/IQSS/iqss-beamer-theme) page for details.
|
|
- [Presento Theme](https://github.com/RatulSaha/presento) wants
|
|
[Montserrat](https://github.com/JulietaUla/Montserrat),
|
|
[Lato Light](http://www.latofonts.com/)
|
|
(also [here](https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/ofl/lato)),
|
|
[Noto Sans](https://www.google.com/get/noto),
|
|
[Algreya Sans](https://github.com/huertatipografica/Alegreya-Sans) as the small caps font and
|
|
[Inconsolata](https://github.com/google/fonts/tree/master/ofl/inconsolata) as a monospaced font.
|
|
- [Monash](https://github.com/robjhyndman/MonashEBSTemplates) wants [Carlito](https://fontlibrary.org/en/font/carlito) which some systems (such as Ubuntu)
|
|
provide.
|
|
|
|
If you use [Debian](https://www.debian.org) or [Ubuntu](https://www.ubuntu.com), you can
|
|
use the informal font packages I created for [Fira and Fira
|
|
Sans](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-fonts-fira),
|
|
[Libertinus](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-fonts-libertinus),
|
|
[Montserrat](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-fonts-montserrat), [Alegreya
|
|
Sans](https://github.com/eddelbuettel/pkg-fonts-alegreya-sans), respectively.
|
|
|
|
Most modern desktop systems make it easy to install additional fonts as a user. However,
|
|
instructions vary so please see for your particular system.
