xsw Description

A slideshow presentation tool xsw provides an easy way to create powerful slideshow presentations.Instalation instructionsOnce you have all requirements installed, you can just type the basic installation commands of the Unix world:./configuremakesu -make installBasicsBy using xsw, you create your presentation "by hand", using the xsw language described in the manual. A exemple of a file is:slide: - "Hello" x:50 y:30 align:center + "World!"The first line says we're writing a slide. The second one says: "add the text 'Hello' centered at the position 50x30 (each slide is 100x75)". The third line says: "write 'hello' using the same parameters that the line before'. That's what the plus (+) is for.Let's say you save the script in a file called test.xsw. So, to run, just type:xsw test.xswPress F at any time to go to fullscreen and return.While xsw has a learning curve, after you learned, you'll be able to build presentations that look much better (and much faster) than Microsoft PowerPoint.ImagesAdding images can be done the following way:slide: - background: "bg.jpg" - image: "image.png" x:10 y:10This will add two images: one scaled on the background, and a second one in regular size.TemplatesIf you want all your slides to look the same, you can use a template (this would be called a "master slide" in other programs). Do so the following way:template: mytemplate - background: "mycompanylogo.jpg" - title: x:50 y:10 align:centerslide: mytemplate - title: "My Company"DevelopingWhen developing, use the -l parameter on xsw to go directly to the last slide. The -d parameter shows a grid to help with the positioning. The same grid can be show by pressing CTRL+D. Requirements: · SDL · SDL_ttf · SDL_image · SDL_gfx What's New in This Release: · xsw no longer install the Vera fonts if they can be found in the font · directory. · corrected a problem where the font border would be broken if the text · was to fall out of the screen. · error in configure.ac where ./configure was informing that SDL_image was · missing if SDL_gfx was actually missing. · added xsw2pdf manual page.
