.TH "pyntor" "1" "0.6" "Cool Projects" "Pyntor"
.SH "NAME"
.LP
pyntor \- modular slides viewer and presentation tool
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.LP
pyntor
[OPTIONS] \fIpresentation-file\fR|\fIpresentation-archive\fR
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.LP
Pyntor is a presentation tool which can display slides and effects of various
formats thanks to its collection of components which are loaded as specified
in the \fIpresentation-file\fR, commonly called \fBscript\fR.
Components can either affect the rendering or the input handling, or both.
They are documented in detail in \fIcomponents.txt\fR in the pyntor documentation
directory, while this manual page tries to only briefly document the user
interface to the program on the command line and some keyboard shortcuts to be
used while the pyntor is running.
.LP
Since presentations are normally distributed as \fIpresentation-archive\fR files,
usually named \fB*.pyntor\fR, those too are accepted as parameters to pyntor.
To learn about the creation of presentations and archives, see below for some
references.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.TP
\fB\-c\fR, \fB\-\-components\fR
Creates and outputs a formatted list of slides, tracking the components in use
like in a real presentation. Additionally, all components are checked for
presence and usability. This option is mainly useful for debugging, but also
to get a quick overview of a presentation.
.TP
\fB\-d\fR, \fB\-\-direct\fR=\fIscriptline\fR
IF a presentation only uses a single component, no script needs to be created.
Instead, the component invocation line which would normally be written into
the script can be passed directly on the command line.
.TP
\fB\-x\fR, \fB\-\-export\fR=\fIfile.pdf\fR|\fIhtmldir\fR
Exports a presentation to a (fixed-size) PDF file, if the option argument
suffix is .pdf, or otherwise to a directory of PNG images and a simple HTML
file with thumbnail preview images.
.TP
\fB\-w\fR, \fB\-\-windowed\fR
When running the presentation, do not switch to fullscreen, but run in a
window instead. This option is also mainly useful for debugging.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Displays the version number of Pyntor.
.TP
\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR
Displays a summary of all available command line options.
This option works without providing a \fBscript\fR.
.TP
\fB\-u\fR, \fB\-\-usage\fR
Displays common usage scenarios so that the desired effect can be achieved
quickly. The examples are for running a presentation and debugging one,
respectively.
This option works without providing a \fBscript\fR.
.SH "SHORTCUTS"
.LP
The following keyboard shortcuts are supported globally throughout Pyntor.
Note that individual components can make use of additional shortcuts, please
consult the component documentation about this.
.TP
\fBF\fR
Toggle between fullscreen mode and windowed mode for displaying slides.
.TP
\fBP\fR
Pyntor menu to allow jumping to arbitrary slides of the presentation.
.TP
\fBS\fR
Pyntor menu to allow type-as-you-find fulltext search, followed by
slide jumping as with \fBP\fR.
This is useful for the situation of having people reminded of some slide
without knowing the page number after a talk.
.TP
\fBT\fR
Gadget displaying the clock time and already spent presentation time in the
lower right corner of the screen. Consecutive presses of the \fBT\fR key
will increase the brightness of the gadget, but usually the indicator is for
the presenter and not for the audience.
