<h2>EXAMPLES</h2>
In addition to the above example, these gallery examples are 
set up as slides: 
<a href="../gallery/td.htm">
td 
</a>
 and
<a href="../gallery/errbar5.htm">
errbar5
</a>


<br><br><br>
<h2>MAKING SLIDES</h2>
<b>pl</b> and <b>pltab</b> may be used to create slides.<tt> </tt>
<p>
There are several strategies: 1) use <b>pl</b> or <b>pltab</b> in PostScript
mode, sending it directly to a film slide making system;
2) use <b>pl</b> or <b>pltab</b> to generate a data display then 
import it (PNG, EPS, GIF) into your slide system;
3) use <b>pl</b> or <b>pltab</b> in PNG or GIF mode and present 
graphs using a browser and a screen projection system.<tt> </tt>

<br><br><br>
<h2>POWERPOINT</h2>
PNG,
<a href="svg.html">
 SVG
</a>
, and GIF files may be imported into PowerPoint.<tt> </tt>
<p>
EPS files may be used with PowerPoint if the result will be
processed through a PostScript film imager (the EPS will not
be visible when previewing the slides on the screen, or if presenting
slides from a screen projector).  

<br><br><br>
<h2>BACKGROUNDS</h2>
Often light lines on a dark background works better on slides.<tt> </tt>
In the example, <tt>proc page</tt> is used to set a dark
background color (darkblue), and a light text/line color (white).<tt> </tt>
Also the overall line thickness is increased.<tt> </tt>
<p>
It may be convenient to use a background color of <tt>transparent</tt> when
making a PNG or GIF for inclusion into a slides package.  This allows
the ploticus graph to be "overlayed" on the existing background color
of the importing application (assuming that it knows about transparency).<tt> </tt>
