[Tex/LaTex] Fit a table into a beamer’s frame

beamertablesthreeparttable

I've gone through posts like Shrink table to fit on a page, or keep it as it is and Fitting tables into beamer with no success.

Here is what I've been trying:

As you can see below, the output is too large:

Any idea how to diminish table's height?

To start with a quote from the beamer user guide:

Never use a smaller font size to “fit more on a frame.” Never ever use the evil option shrink.

So please use the following solution at your own risk!

In case the font becomes too small, an alternative could be to transpose the table. Based on https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/32690/36296 a quick test:

[Tex/LaTex] beamer’s fragile frame as default

You could define your own frame environment like it is explained in the user manual p.62, e.g.:

\newenvironment{xframe}[2][]
  {\begin{frame}[fragile,environment=xframe,#1]
  \frametitle{#2}}
  {\end{frame}}

The environment option does the trick. It tells beamer that the frame ends with an \end{xframe} now.

Note that the frame has a complex set of optional arguments, including two < > and to optional(!) braced arguments for the frame title and sub-title. Not all of these arguments might be supported by the above code. You might write it better as:

\newenvironment{xframe}[1][]
  {\begin{frame}[fragile,environment=xframe,#1]}
  {\end{frame}}

which should support both optional title and sub-title arguments. You also can define the frame title using an explicit \frametitle command.

Another, more complex alternative is to use the xparse package to define xframe with the same arguments of frame and pass it along.

[Tex/LaTex] Fit table into page

First of all, the data of your table appears huge and putting this into one table might sacrifice readability of your work. It would be a great thing to do if you can shrink the content of the table a bit or redesign the table. Other than that, I've made a bunch of improvements:

I used the sidewaystable environment from the rotating package; this will make more room for the table columns.
I removed the \resizebox{\textwidth}{!} and used tabularx instead.
To avoid too much weird hyphens with full justification, I used \raggedright.
To gain more space, I changed the default tabcolsep from 4pt to 2pt.
Using \sffamily gives also some more space.
Finally, using \small will save some extra space without sacrificing readability.

The above, as I said before, should be your last resort after both shrinking of content and table redesign fail.
