3.1. How to draw a slide

This is an example of how to make slides for research presentations at academic conferences.

3.1.1. Slide 1

First, an example of the title, author, content, etc. on the first page are shown.

SECL and SECP are useful when making slides for presentations. These make it convenient to draw a graph paper for arranging and write the desired title on it.

First, declare SECL on the first line and draw on the grid of graph paper. When finished, use NOTF to erase the grid of the graph paper.

Also, here, the basic font is No. 5, Times-Roman.

The second line defines the constant. For C1, the X axis of SECL is 24 cm long and centered. This is often used to center the titles that should be drawn. C2 takes the top 16 cm of the Y axis. The Y coordinate of the title etc. will be expressed by the relative distance from this C2. This allows you to move the entire drawing by moving C1, C2 later up, down, left and right on the screen.

At the 4th and 5th lines, the pages on the upper left and right of the screen, the meeting information are entered as comments. \page is used for the page. This will automatically add pages even if the number of pages increases. Lines 7-9 are the main titles. the second font, Helvetica bold is used. Also, this multi-line comment is enclosed in ShadowBox.

Lines 11-16 are authors and affiliations. Here, the font is partially changed and the color is changed. Blanks on line 13 will appear as blanks. Also, here, the line spacing is 1.4 times the default.

Lines 18-24 represent the content. This multi-line comment is centered by ix(2), but the numbers are aligned by using &.

3.1.2. Slide 2

It is convenient if the slides of one presentation are in one file. You can also make a slide show by turning the pages when displaying images from your computer and making a presentation. ANGEL uses multi-page. The following example is on page 2.

The first line is the declaration of the new page. The yellow hollow arrow is drawn on the 12th line. The shape is drawn before the comment, so this long arrow is partially hidden by the comment box.

Lines 8-11 draw a line connecting the comments. Comments are drawn in the order written in the input, so take that into account when stacking. It may seem a little complicated, but it is not difficult to write more sentences first and then add decorations in sequence.

After writing the title of the graph on lines 8-11, it becomes the section of the multigraph on lines 13. Now move from the SECL graph axis to the next graph axis. The origin of the new axes is defined by xorg(0.33) yorg(0.17).

In the new graph, lines 29-44 draw experimental points, fitted lines, etc. while reading data from other files. At that time, a figure legend is written.

The display position of the figure legend has been moved from the default position using the parameters on line 22. At the same time, it is surrounded by a box using lbox.

The meaning of each line is written on the graph in the comment line on the 24-27th line. On line 27, the opponent’s line is tilted, so the comments are also tilted a little accordingly.

Here, two files are read in lines 13-15 and 17-19, and two graphs are drawn. In the file to be read, scal, xorg, yorg etc. are already defined in order to format it as an input of ANGEL , so redefine the values of these parameters after reading the file.

Lines 22-35 draw the gray part of Hg Target. Line 23 fills the circle with polg, and the next line 24 uses self-running variables and column functions to draw the perimeter of the semicircle.

Use lines 25-30 to gray the rectangle and lines 31-35 to outline the perimeter.

Lines 38-49 present the yellow part. After these lines, arrows, lines, and dimensions are described. It is a little troublesome, but it is not difficult because you can decide the coordinates while looking at the graph paper. I define constants just in case I need to move the whole thing after I finish writing.
