I've discovered that you can \pause
within a tikzpicture
, which works well until I switched the theme to one with a footline.
I've created a "test case" that illustrates the problem.
\documentclass{beamer}
\providecommand\thispdfpagelabel[1]{} % Not sure what this does but our installation requires it.
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetheme{Madrid} % Has a footline.
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{test}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\node at (0, 1) {Hello};
\pause
\node at (0, 0) {World};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
This creates two slides, but the footline is only drawn on the second (the headline/title appears on both). Is there anything I can do about this?
\pause
inside atikzpicture
really messes up the pausing. As an interim solution, you could use the\node<overlay specification>
syntax or one of the other methods of hiding/revealing stuff in beamer. But a plain\pause
really does seem to be specially weird.\onslide
and friends...
