Active-DVI
Active-DVI is a presenter and previewer for texts or slides written in LaTeX,
hence the presentation tool of choice for the discriminating hacker.
Version 1.4.0 is now available. As the release number shows, this is a
major improvement w.r.t version 1.2.0 of Active-DVI.
This new version has been developed by Jun Furuse, Didier Rmy and
Pierre Weis with also contributions by Didier Le Botlan, Roberto Di
Cosmo, Xavier Leroy, and Alan Schmitt.
In addition to the regular features of the Active-DVI previewer:
* Encapsulated Postscript File inclusion
(using the graphics LaTeX package)
* Some effects for presentation (pause, delay, text color change)
this release introduces a lot of new features
* Improved API for embedded applications.
* Support for X colors via an additional xcolor.sty LaTeX package.
* Thumbnails to see the entire presentation at a glance (press T to
build the thumbnails, then t to toggle from thumbnails to your
presentation).
* Hyper references can now be made invisible.
* Enhanced background possibilities.
* An additional advi-slides.sty package for the impatient and/or
the beginner facilitates easy presentations. (Comments on this
new package warmly welcome.)
* Additional examples, including simple ones for the slitex LaTeX package.
* An improved manual.
Play advi on the demonstration presentation demo.dvi that is in the test
directory of the distribution. Look at source code of various talks in
the directory ``examples''.
The source code, RPM packages, and information are available at
