This repository contains a LaTeX Beamer theme that mimics the appearance of the IIASA presentation templates for Microsoft PowerPoint.
Contributions and refinements from IIASA colleagues are welcome.
-
See the files
demo.tex
anddemo-2019.tex
, which demonstrate most of the features described below. On a system with GNU Make installed, runmake
to compile both of these demo files to PDF. -
Select theme version. Use either the 2019 or 2024 version of the theme:
\documentclass[aspectratio=169]{beamer} \usetheme[version=2024]{iiasa}
The 2024 version is default and will be selected if no option is given.
-
Install fonts. The 2019 version of the theme uses Tahoma (if available; proprietary) or Fira (free) fonts. The 2024 version uses Source Sans Pro, which is available in the TeXLive package of the same name.
-
The title frame, section frames, and a “Thank you!” frame (see below) are displayed with a coloured or image background and the IIASA logo. The files used for this purpose are in the
image/
directory. -
The IIASA colours are available, including e.g.
IIASAblue
. Seebeamercolourthemeiiasa_20*.sty
. The colours are used to style text elements, including internal and external hyperlinks. -
(2019 theme version only.) To handle long frame titles, use:
{ \pgfkeys{/iiasa/frametitle=long} \begin{frame} … \end{frame} }
-
Generate a “Thank you!” frame:
\makefinalslide
-
Use
\appendix
; frames after this one will be numbered but the total number of frames displayed will include only frames up to this point. For example, a bibliography may begin on frame “21/20”, where frame 20 is the last before\appendix
.
