 |
|
Hello Everyone
I have about 60 images that I would like to make a simple presentation. It's quite annoying to use libreoffice and add one by one. Is there an easy way to do this via command line?
Any input will be appreciated. |

| What about naming them in a sensible way (like presentation-01 to presentation-60) and use the slideshow feature that most image viewers offer? |

I did something like this using the LaTeX Beamer package. It is designed to create slide shows in pdf format which is the best format for presentations IMO.
I actually automated it so starting from a list of images, the presentation would get created automatically. The .tex file mostly consisted of frames like this: | Code: | \begin{frame}
\mytransition
\color{captioncolor}
\begin{columns}[c]
\column{2.5in}
\centering \label{St John of the Cross:\Type} St John of the Cross, \Type
\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{\IDir/st_john_of_the_cross-1.jpg}
\column{2.5in}
\includegraphics[width=2.5in]{\IDir/st_john_of_the_cross-2.jpg}
\end{columns}
\end{frame} |
Edit: added link to Wikipedia Beamer entry. |
