What is TexPoint

• TexPoint is a Powerpoint add-in that allows easy
  use of Latex symbols and formulas in Powerpoint
  presentation
• See http//raw.cs.berkeley.edu/texpoint for
  details on how to use and install TexPoint.
• You can view this presentation even without
  having TexPoint installed
• However, some font tables will be wrong if you do
  not have the AMS fonts installed

Usage

• Usage TexPoint can be used in inline or display
  mode
• Inline usage
• You write \alpha_0 \otimes \beta_\approx1
  \rightarrow\alpha \Gamma
• Press ALT-X-X and it turns into a0 Ä b1 a G
• Or you write \sumn_i1 i2 x \and \forall
  y. y \geq 5 \implies \exists x. x \leq y
• Press ALT-X-X and it turns into åni1 i2 x Ù
  y. y ³ 5 Þ x. x y
• Display usage
• You press ALT-X-D and you are prompted to edit
  standard Latex source for a display
• Once you have a display you can double click on
  it, or you can right-click on it. Try it on the
  display below

More About Inline Mode

• You can do a lot of formatting without leaving
  the keyboard
• E.g. \fontArial\bfa\underlinebc
• Turns into abc
• You can define per-presentation initialization
  macros with arguments
• E.g. \newcommandand0\wedge
• E.g. \newcommandtype31 \vdash 2 3
• E.g. \newcommandunion0\fontchrSymbol201
• You have access to almost all symbol macros that
  AMS Latex defines
• The macro arguments preserve their font style
• E.g. \typeGbolda font expands to G bold
  a font

More About Display Mode

• You can do anything that Latex can do
• Displays can be colored (using color Latex
  commands)
• ... or can be made to blend on the slide
• Displays can be processed as usual bitmaps (size,
  position, brightness, contrast) and in addition
  their Latex source can be changed.
• They can be copied and pasted even in other
  presentations since their Latex source is
  embedded in them.

Font Matters

• You can read more about the usage and
  installation of TexPoint in http//raw.cs.berkeley
  .edu/texpoint
• TexPoint comes with a set of four TrueType fonts
  that contain the glyphs for the standard Latex
  and AMS symbols.
• You do not have to use these fonts since a few
  symbols are available in the Windows standard
  Symbol and MT Extra fonts.
• You can tell TexPoint whether it can use AMS
  fonts or whether it should try to find the symbol
  in the resident fonts
• The next few slides show the available symbols
  and the macros that expand to them. In each table
  the columns labeled T show the macro expansion if
  the AMS symbols are used and the column D shows
  the symbols from the default Windows fonts, when
  available
