For the next few semesters I'll be making a lot of beamer presentations with a lot slides that are just a frame title and a figure. I am trying to make a command to make a lot faster to code and easier to read. Here is my first attempt:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\newcommand {\framedgraphic}[2] {
\begin{frame}{#1}
\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{#2}
\end{center}
\end{figure}
\end{frame}
}
In this past I've have scaled manually with something like
\includegraphics[height=0.7\textheight]{table3a.png}
Through trial and error I have to find the right scaling to make the figure fill the slide. Is there a way I can automatically do this scaling without adding more arguments to my command? Including covering both wide and tall figures? Thanks!
BTW, here I'm using graphicx
but I'm not really wed to it. I am just getting started in TeX and would love to learn any new ways of thinking of this problem.
\textheight
. AFAIK there is no length which stores the rest of the height.figure
environment is for floating figures, which doesn't make sense in a presentation. They are not required for\includegraphics
to work. Simply remove them here.\headheight
and\footheight
, but it seems that\textheight-\headheight-\footheight
is bigger then the actual height you have available.figure
is not a floating environment inside beamer\includegraphics[width=.95\textwidth,height=\myheight,keepaspectratio]{image}
where\myheight
=\textheight
- some guessed value.
