[Tex/LaTex] (Beamer) Navigation bar with Sections and SUBsections but without SUBSUBsections

beamernavigationthemes

How do you produce a navigation bar containing the sections and subsection but excluding the subsubsections? I'm using PaloAlto theme.

Best Answer

You can set the beamer templates subsubsection in sidebar and subsubsection in sidebar shaded so that they don't insert the subsubsection title:

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{beamer}
\usetheme{PaloAlto}

\makeatletter
\setbeamertemplate{subsubsection in sidebar}
  {\vspace*{-\baselineskip}}
\setbeamertemplate{subsubsection in sidebar shaded}
  {\vspace*{-\baselineskip}}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\section{test section one}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsection{test subsection one}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsubsection{test subsubsection one}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsubsection{test subsubsection teo}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\section{test section two}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsection{test subsection two}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}

\end{document}

Here's the first frame of the resulting document, showing the sidebar without the subsubsection titles:

Use the optional argument of the sectioning commands and leave it empty to not include the unit in the sidebar; the unit will, however, be included in the ToC; an example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Berkeley}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\tableofcontents
\end{frame}

\section{Test Section One}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsection[]{Test Subsection One One}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsection{Test Subsection One Two}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}

\section[]{Test Section Two}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}

\section{Test Section Three}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}
\subsection[]{Test Subsection Three One}
\begin{frame}test\end{frame}

\end{document}

The ToC:

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer navigation bar with characters between sections

Yes, it is possible; not trivial, but possible:

(I will add some explanation when I have time)

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{totcount}
\usepackage{tikz}

\regtotcounter{section}
\newcounter{vertrules}

\setbeamercolor{section in head/foot}{fg=green!40!black}
\setbeamercolor*{frametitle}{fg=green!40!black}
\setbeamercolor{myheadline}{fg=green!40!black,bg=green!10}

\setbeamertemplate{headline}
{%
  \begin{beamercolorbox}[wd=\paperwidth]{myheadline}
    \vskip1.5ex%
    \insertsectionnavigationhorizontal{\paperwidth}{\hskip0pt}{\hskip-12pt}\vskip2pt
  \end{beamercolorbox}%
  \setcounter{vertrules}{\totvalue{section}}
  \ifnum\thevertrules<2 \else
  \addtocounter{vertrules}{-1}
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
  \foreach \i in {1,2,...,\thevertrules}
  \draw[ultra thick,green!40!black] (\i*\sectionboxwd+0.5\i,0) -- (\i*\sectionboxwd+0.5\i,1);
  \end{tikzpicture}%
  \fi%
}

\setbeamertemplate{section in head/foot}{%
    \hspace*{-6pt}\setlength\fboxsep{0pt}%
    \parbox[c][4ex][t]{\dimexpr\sectionboxwd-5pt\relax}{%
      \hfill\parbox{\dimexpr\sectionboxwd-12pt\relax}{%
      \raggedright\insertsectionhead%
      }\hfill\mbox{}%
    }\hspace*{6pt}%
}

\newlength\sectionboxwd

\AtBeginDocument{%
  \ifnum\totvalue{section}>0 
    \setlength\sectionboxwd{\dimexpr\paperwidth/\totvalue{section}\relax}
  \else
    \setlength\sectionboxwd{\paperwidth}
  \fi
} 

\begin{document}

\section{Test Section One with a really long title}
\begin{frame}\frametitle{Test frame one}test\end{frame}
\section{Test Section Two}
\begin{frame}\frametitle{Test frame two}test\end{frame}
\section{Test Section Three}
\begin{frame}\frametitle{Test frame three}test\end{frame}
\section{Test Section Four}
\begin{frame}\frametitle{Test frame four}test\end{frame}

\end{document}

And some images showing the result with the vertical rules:
