LaTeX Template for Presentations
================================

This package serves as a template for presentations in the [Corporate Design of KIT](https://kit-cd.sts.kit.edu/praesentationen.php) (version from February 2025).

It is modified from the template developed by the research group [DSiS](https://dsis.kastel.kit.edu) at the KIT Faculty of Computer Science and is based on [LaTeX Beamer](https://ctan.org/pkg/beamer).
See https://sdq.kastel.kit.edu/wiki/Dokumentvorlagen

Compile the `introduction.tex` to see an example.

# Usage

## `Options` for the "CELbeamer" document class
------------------------------------------
The font size in the footer is set larger by default than in the PowerPoint template. This can be enforced to match the original specification using the `smallfoot` option.

| Footer font size         | Option               |
| ---------------------    | -------------------- |
| slightly larger (12pt)   | `bigfoot` (default)  |
| KIT specification (11pt) | `smallfoot`          |

German and English are available as languages. The language selection automatically sets the appropriate formats (e.g., quotation marks, date).

| Language  | Option          |
| --------- | --------------- |
| German    | `de`            |
| English   | `en`  (default) |

Slide titles are set in Helvetica. If you want Franklin Gothic for everything, you can define this.

| Title font        | Option                |
| ----------------- | --------------------- |
| Franklin Gothic   | `franklin`            |
| Helvetica         | `helvet`  (default)   |

### Other options
- The navigation bar in the footer can be enabled using the `navbaron` option.

- With the `kitgrid` option, the grid of the slides can be displayed.

- The `handout` option turns off the animations. Multiple slides for the same frame will be shown on one slide, or according to the commands in the animation instructions. 
E.g., `\only<2|handout:0>{This is not shown in handout mode.}`, `\item<1-|handout:2>{This shows only on the second slide of the frame in the handout mode.}`

- The `spaceforface` option leaves extra space on the right-hand-side of the frame to put presenter's video. The width of the space can be adjusted by changing the <width> in \setlength{\spaceforface}{<width>} in `CELbeamer.cls`.

- The `overviewatsection` option displays the table of contents at each section. Only subsections of the current section is shown.

- The `showsubsectionsatfirstoverview` option shows all the subsections at the first overview. This requires `overviewatsection` option.

Example: `\documentclass[de, navbaron, kitgrid, handout, overviewatsection]{CELbeamer}`

## Title Slide
Setup: `\begin{frame}[title white vertical, picture=images/...., fundings=]`

The image on the title slide can be set with the `picture=` option. For vertical layouts, the image fits the height; for horizontal layouts, it fits the width.

Additionally, for horizontal layouts, you can choose the color of the KIT logo.

| KIT logo color | Frame Option             |
| -------------- | ------------------------ |
| colored        | `kitlogo=rgb`            |
| white          | `kitlogo=white`          |
| black          | `kitlogo=black`          |

Example: `\begin{frame}[title white horizontal, picture=images/palladio_bauplan, kitlogo=black]`

## Special Slides
### Table of content
For tables of contents, you can specify the option `tableofcontents=<color>`, where `color` can be either `blue` or `green`. The table of contents will then be shown on a fully colored slide.

### Image slides
There are also special layouts for divider slides with large images. You can select them using frame options.

| Vertical image share: | Frame Option                   |
| --------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| 33%                   | `picture 33 vertical`          |
| 50%                   | `picture 50 vertical`          |
| 66%                   | `picture 66 vertical`          |
| arbitrary             | `picture vertical=<value in %>`|

The image is set with the option `picture=<path>`, where `path` must be given relative to the main document.

Logo and Name of Department/KIT Faculty/Institute
-------------------------------------------------

The logo at the bottom right of the title slide can be set with the following command:

`\grouplogo{mylogo}` (without file extension)

To use your own logo, place the file (e.g., `mylogo.pdf`) in the `logos/` directory and adjust the command. If no logo should be included, use `\grouplogo{}`.

The group name can be set with the following command:

`\groupname{Communication Engineering Lab}`

The group name appears in the footer at the bottom right. Long names will be wrapped into two lines. If the group name is left empty (`\groupname{}`), the full width of the footer will be used for author names and title.

The default width of the group name is 89 mm. It can be changed with

`\groupnamewidth{120mm}`

which also adjusts the width of the author and title text field accordingly. Line breaks are possible with `\\`. Instead of two-line footers, the `smallfoot` option may be preferable.
