The infrastructure is now completely set up, and you are ready to start designing slides. We will now design an example talk with three slides.
Run the script compile and leave it running in the background. Pyxplot will then re-run the scripts describing your slides whenever you edit them.
As an example, we will now make a title slide. Paste the following script into the file scripts/0001:
set output 'slides/0001.gif' load 'scripts/slide_init' text '\parbox[t]{10cm}{\center \LARGE \bf \ A Tutorial in the use of Pyxplot \\ \ to present Talks \ } ' at x*50, y*75 text '\Large \bf Prof A.N.\ Other' at x*50, y*45 text '\parbox[t]{9cm}{\center \ Director, \\ \ Atlantis Island University \ } ' at x*50, y*38 text 'Annual Lecture, 1st January 2010' at x*50, y*22 load 'scripts/slide_finish'
Note that the variables x and y are defined to be 1 per cent of the width and height of your slides respectively, such that the bottom-left of each slide is at
