#Create frame texmacs full#
Typing it up in full on LaTeX has a huge markup overhead (compared to writing an article or a book). A little painful (I used it in a course I previously taught, which was far less math intensive). The alternative is to typeset separate equation objects and use Keynote's own transitions to create the effect. This course will involve some long derivations of expressions, where "playing striptease with my audience" will not be a bad idea. Problem is - that does not use the full power of beamer as overlays are absent. I have so far been using a combination of Keynote and LaTeXIt to typeset the math.
When I last used LyX many years ago, and I did not use it much, I found its LaTeX export to be a mess. Plus, I will not be writing the book in LyX. They have cut and paste, but no drag and drop as far as I can tell. I am not sure if LyX is a good option for me. It may have been the perfect solution for me otherwise.
#Create frame texmacs mac#
TeXmacs is useless on Mac for this purpose as its drag and drop support, despite patches, is non-existent because they have chosen to go with Qt for obvious reasons. Just too much of typing and clicking overhead involved and my presentations for this class are very likely to be extremely graphics heavy (some self-created using TikZ, and the rest borrowed as above). Any workflow involving saving an image and then using it in an \includegraphics block is a non-starter. My presentations make heavy use of drag and drop of images from various sources (of course with proper attributions). For this purpose, I was hoping to keep as much of the math (and there is going to be a non-trivial amount) in a reusable form as possible. I am writing a textbook that will be based partially on the contents of this course.
However, the situation I am in is a little peculiar and I would be glad of some advice: I have used LaTeX beamer for years, and have even contributed some themes to it. I am teaching a course in the upcoming semester and am trying to settle on a way to prepare presentations as rapidly as possible.
