Frames (Slides)
Frame Syntax

Frames can be written in both as environments and as

commands.
As an environment:

\begin{frame}[options]
... slide contents ...
\end{frame}

As a command:

\frame[options]{
... slide contents ...
}

Overview

Overlays allow you to create dynamic presentations

Each slide overlay generates a new PDF page
There are a variety of overlay styles in Beamer
Various overlay counters: ‘n’, ‘n-’, ‘-n’, ‘n1-n2’,‘+-’
