What is "Magic Point"? Magic Point is an X11 based presentation tool. It is designed to make simple presentations easy while to make complicated presentations possible. Its presentation file (whose suffix is typically .mgp) is just text so that you can create presentation files quickly with your favorite editor (e.g. Emacs, vi). What's new in 1.13a?
Linux for Presentations
Akkana Peck Contents Introduction and Motivation This Mini-HOWTO is aimed at people who have a laptop running linux, and want to use it to give presentations via a computer screen projector using free software, rather than use proprietary tools such as powerpoint.MagicPoint is one of several open source presentation programs , [ 2 ] often used to produce slides for conferences. [ 3 ] Unlike most presentation programs, such as Microsoft PowerPoint , where a GUI is used to create slides, MagicPoint slides are created by writing text files using a simple markup language . The resulting file is then displayed with MagicPoint's X11 -based viewer. [ edit ] History MagicPoint was originally created in the autumn of 1997, at a WIDE Project camp. It was originally known as tp , standing for TinyPoint, [ 4 ] but in December the name was changed to MagicPoint. [ 5 ]

And now we present...
Posted by: Jeff Grimes, Software Engineer Earlier this year, we told you that in addition to documents and spreadsheets, we'd soon be adding support for presentations as well. We know you've been waiting, and today we're excited to invite you to try out presentations for yourself at http://documents.google.com . Just like Google documents and spreadsheets, presentations are stored securely online, so you can access them from anywhere using only a web browser. Working together with one or more people to put together a killer presentation? Not a problem, just like with documents and spreadsheets, you can collaborate with others and see everyone's changes in real time.
An example of a document in Google Docs Google Docs is a free web -based office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. It also was a storage service but has since been replaced by Google Drive [ 3 ] It allows users to create and edit documents online while collaborating in real-time with other users.

OpenOffice.org Impress
, a part of the Apache OpenOffice office suite and developed by Sun Microsystems , is an open source presentation program compatible with and similar to Microsoft PowerPoint .

It is able to view, edit and save files in several file formats, including the .ppt format, which is used by Microsoft PowerPoint .

Beamer (LaTeX)
Beamer is a LaTeX class for creating slides for presentations. It supports both pdfLaTeX and LaTeX + dvips . The name is taken from the German word Beamer , a pseudo-anglicism for video projector . The beamer class is not the first LaTeX class for creating presentations, and like many of its predecessors, it has special syntax for defining 'slides' (known in Beamer as 'frames'). Slides can be built up on-screen in stages as if by revealing text that was previously hidden or covered. This is handled with PDF output by creating successive pages that preserve the layout but add new elements, so that advancing to the next page in the PDF file appears to add something to the displayed page, when in fact it has redrawn the page.Installing the Beamer class You will first need to install the package Beamer . Under Debian or Ubuntu, you can type the following command:
