beamerformatting
A few months ago, I asked for help with formatting curly braces next to bullet points, which worked very well.
However, I have tried to take that code and use it in beamer, which is unfortunately telling me it doesn't recognise the \dimexpr command, and so I'm having some trouble.
The code I am using is in the link below, can anyone advise me on how to achieve this or something similar in beamer?
Bullet points and curly braces
Thank you
This is built into beamer:
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}[<only@+-+(4)>]
\item one
\item two
\item three
\item four
\item five
\item six
\item seven
\item eight
\item nine
\item ten
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
The overlay specification +-+(4) means the same thing as (n+1)-(n+5), where n is the current slide count. The only@ action wraps the item in an \only<...>. Putting the specification as an argument to the itemize environment makes it the default for each item.
If you want to specify item text in a \foreach loop you can explicitly call \only before each item:
\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{pgffor}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\begin{itemize}
\foreach \x in {a,b,...,z} {%
\only<+-+(4)>{\item \x}
}
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
See sections 9.6.3 (Action Specifications) and 9.6.4 (Incremental Specifications) of the beamer (v3.22) manual. Also this answer of mine.
The overlayarea command (thanks to this post here) may be what you are searching for:
\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{}
\begin{overlayarea}{\textwidth}{7em}
\begin{itemize}
\item First Point
\only<1>{
\begin{itemize}
\item subpoint
\item subpoint
\end{itemize}
}
\uncover<2>{
\item Second Point
\begin{itemize}
\item subpoint
\item subpoint
\item another subpoint
\end{itemize}
}
\end{itemize}
\end{overlayarea}
\rule{\linewidth}{1em} %Add your image here
\end{frame}
\end{document}
You will just have to adjust the second argument of the \begin{overlayarea} command to fit the height of your itemize and replace the \rule command with your \includegraphics.

The following work for me. Do I miss anything?
BTW
beamerdoesn't have any hatred for\dimexprFYI.
