uncover before pause in beamer later

Question

I have split my frame in two columns. The first column has an algorithm (interleaved with pause statements). The second column has a figure. Currently the figure shows at last (after hitting keys as many times as there are pause statements). How can I uncover the figure before any pause statements. Attached below is the psuedo code.

\begin{columns}[c]
\column{2.00in}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\STATE stmt1
\pause
\STATE stmt2 
\end{algorithmic}
\column{1.00in}
\begin{tikzpicture}
picture code
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}

Answer 1

If I understood correctly, you wonder that the figure appears before any statement of the algorithm. In this case, instead of adopting \pause you can use very easily the \visible command, specifying in which instant of time the object should appear.

For example:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usetheme{EastLansing}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{Title}
\begin{columns}[c]
\column{2.00in}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\visible<2->{
\STATE stmt1
}
\visible<3->{
\STATE stmt2 
}
\end{algorithmic}
\column{1.00in}
% appear at first
\visible<1->{
\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw(0,0)--(1,0);
\end{tikzpicture}
}
\end{columns}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

will lead to the following frames:

Here the image appears at first.

Also the first statement appears.

All objects are displayed at last.
