[Tex/LaTex] Zooming images out to specific locations in beamer

animationsbeamergraphicspositioningtransition

I want to:

Show an image full width
On click, make a small sized image placed at a particular location starting from top left and show another image full width
Repeat the process till all four images are shown
End with a grid of four images vertically and horizontally centered

The problems I am facing is:

The location of the grid images changes as the third image (bottom-left) in the
grid is displayed

Possible improvements I am looking at are:

When I go from full width image to the 'overview' slide, the transition should be like zooming the image to that location
Better code than the one I have used?

Below is the MWE.

Sounds like a tween animation (interpolating the in-between frames of the animated zoom) you wish to achieve. The animate package could be used for this kind of task (Adobe Reader required).

Edit: improved animation timeline; delete tween.txt before recompiling the document.

\documentclass{beamer}

%animation timeline
\begin{filecontents*}{tween.txt}
*::0
 ::1
 ::2
 ::3x0 %keep small image
 ::7
 ::6
 ::5
*::4   %click to continue, 
 ::5
 ::6
 ::7x0
 ::11
 ::10
 ::9
*::8

 ::10
 ::11x0
 ::15
 ::14
 ::13
*::12

[Tex/LaTex] Beamer: handout/article mode – produce multiple copies of a frame with distinct overlay numbers

You do need to tell beamer what you want to appear in each frame of the handout version. You can use \onslide specifications to do this so that you do not need to modify the existing overlay specifications at all. (I'm not sure this is what you want - probably not.)

The following code modifies your MWE so that, in presentation mode, there would actually be 10 slides within the frame. These are then placed on slides 1 or 2 of the handout. This is a waste of code: if you only want to show slide 5 and slide 10, you do not need two \againframe but only one. But, anyway, with the two:

\documentclass[handout]{beamer}

\begin{document}

  \begin{frame}<1-| handout:0>[label=foo]{My only frame}
    \begin{enumerate}[<+->]% or whatever you like for presentation mode
      \onslide<1-| handout:1-2>
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \onslide<1-| handout:2>
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{frame}

  \againframe<0| handout:1>{foo}
  \againframe<0| handout:2>{foo}
\end{document}

slides 5 and 10 for handout

More efficiently with only one repeat:

\documentclass[handout]{beamer}

\begin{document}

  \begin{frame}<1-| handout:1>[label=foo]{My only frame}
    \begin{enumerate}[<+->]% or whatever you like for presentation mode
      \onslide<1-| handout:1-2>
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \onslide<1-| handout:2>
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
      \item Item \arabic{enumi}
    \end{enumerate}
  \end{frame}

  \againframe<0| handout:2>{foo}
\end{document}

I'm not sure how this could apply to article mode since then there are no frames or slides.

[Tex/LaTex] Spacing in 2×2 images

This doesn't have anything to do with the width choice of your images, but rather with the vertical alignment of the subfigures. Use the [t]op-alignment optional argument, since your images all have the same height:

\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel} %Deutsche Sprachunterstützung
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
  \begin{subfigure}[t]{.4\textwidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
    \caption{\textbf{Schnitt}: $A \cup B$: Element liegt in $A$ \textbf{oder} in $B$.}
  \end{subfigure}
  \hfill
  \begin{subfigure}[t]{.4\textwidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-b}
    \caption{\textbf{Vereinigung}: $A \cap B$: Element liegt in $A$ \textbf{und} in $B$.}
  \end{subfigure}

  \medskip

  \begin{subfigure}[t]{.4\textwidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-c}
    \caption{\textbf{Differenz}: $A \setminus B$: Element liegt in $A$ \textbf{nicht} in $B$. (\textit{A ohne B})}
  \end{subfigure}
  \hfill
  \begin{subfigure}[t]{.4\textwidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{example-image-a}
    \caption{\textbf{Symmetrische Differenz}: $A \Delta B$: Element liegt \textbf{entweder} in $A$ oder in $B$.}
  \end{subfigure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I've used \medskip between the two subfigure sets to make the vertical spacing a little more attractive.
