I am trying to make a presentation with a progress bar. I want it along the right edge of the screen. I remember seeing something like that but cannot find it now, and all the alternatives for interactionbar seem to require a horizontal one. How can I make a vertical progress bar?

I'm not sure if there is an option to have an actual progress bar along the right edge, but for a presentation I had to do recently, I also wanted something like this and came up with this code. Maybe this can inspire you a bit: \definecolor[outer][r=0,g=0,b=.92] \definecolor[current][r=0,g=0,b=.4] \definecolor[inner][s=.98] \defineoverlay[mybackground][\useMPgraphic{left}] \startuseMPgraphic{left} StartPage ; fill Page withcolor \MPcolor{inner} ; z1 = ulcorner Page ; z5 = llcorner Page ; path q ; q = z1 -- z5 ; t = arclength (q) ; u = t/15 ; v = (PageNumber/NOfPages) ; z4 = (x1+1cm, y1-1cm) ; z3 = (x4, y1) ; z2 = (x1, y4) ; path m[] ; m[1] = z1 -- z2 -- z4 -- z3 -- cycle ; m[2] = m[1] shifted (0, -2*u) ; m[3] = m[1] shifted (0, -4*u) ; m[4] = m[1] shifted (0, -6*u) ; m[5] = m[1] shifted (0, -8*u) ; m[6] = m[1] shifted (0, -10*u) ; m[7] = m[1] shifted (0, -12*u) ; m[8] = m[1] shifted (0, (-14*u-0.5mm)) ; for i=1 upto 8: fill m[i] withcolor\MPcolor{outer} ; endfor; if PageNumber=1: fill m[1] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif (v>.001) and (v<.167) : fill m[2] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif (v>.166) and (v<.334): fill m[3] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif (v>.333) and (v<.501): fill m[4] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif (v>.5) and (v<.667): fill m[5] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif (v>.666) and (v<.834): fill m[6] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif (v>.833) and (v<1): fill m[7] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; elseif v=1: fill m[8] withcolor \MPcolor{current} ; fi ; StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic \setupbackgrounds[page][background={mybackground}] HTH Thomas
Hi Johan, The following code was used to move a picture along the right margin, depending on the pagenumber... - I hope this inspires you for your own presentation. \def\Gag% {\bgroup \vbox to \vsize% {\ifnum\totalnumberofpages=\realpageno \vfil {\externalfigure[yourpicture-finish][width=\rightedgewidth]} \else \scratchcounter=\realpageno \advance \scratchcounter by -1 \vskip 0pt plus \scratchcounter fil {\externalfigure[yourpicture][width=\rightedgewidth]} \scratchcounter=\totalnumberofpages \advance \scratchcounter by -\realpageno \vskip 0pt plus \scratchcounter fil \fi} \egroup} \defineoverlay[MoveDown][\Gag] \setupbackgrounds[state=repeat] \setupbackgrounds [page] [background=PageBackground] \setupbackgrounds[text][rightedge][background=MoveDown Kind regards Willi On Mar 8, 2007, at 4:06 PM, Johan Sandblom wrote:
