Migrating from prosper to simpleslides in creating presentations
Hello, I am trying to put aside doing my presentations using prosper, and migrating to using ConTeXt+simpleslides. I ask this knowing full well that many would consider these features as simply adding visual noise to presentations, and normally I too eschew them, but as I am reading Jean-Luc Doumont's book on effective communications I am reminded that the primary purpose of presentations is to affect change in the audience. I am to give a presentation in a few days to a group of designers/interior decorators, and for this audience presentations using these features are both appropriate and often expected. I am looking for the equivalent of transition effects in the prosper class---the simple Wipe transition would suffice; no need for Glitter ;). The other feature that I would like is the incremental displaying of a slide, i.e., the \overlays feature. Is there an easy way to incorporate these into a ConTeXt based presentation, even if it means not necessarily using simpleslides? advTHANKSance. -- ----- - Pavneet Arora Waroc Fine Audio + Custom Home Cinema www.waroc.com 416.937.WAROC (9276)

Nothing ConTeXt related, but maybe suitable for you: impressive¹, a python script that turns any PDF into a slide show using different transitions. Marco [1] http://impressive.sourceforge.net/
