beamerthementnu

A LaTeX beamer theme for NTNU presentation templates

Overview

This beamer theme implements the [NTNU PowerPoint templates] (https://innsida.ntnu.no/wiki/-/wiki/Norsk/Lage+presentasjon) for LaTeX beamer. See usage example below.

The single theme can produce almost all the different templates, and both in 4:3 and 16:9 format. Notably, the campus dependent version and 16:10 format are not implemented.

If you have technical questions, please contact [Martin Strand] (https://www.ntnu.edu/employees/martin.strand). Do not send such questions to the NTNU Communications Division.

Usage

The basic usage is the command

\usetheme[style=ntnu|simple|vertical|horizontal, language=bm|nn|en]{ntnu2015}

along with the special title page command

\ntnutitlepage

Contributions and license

The code is based on [Håvard Berland's original work in 2005] (http://www.pvv.ntnu.no/~berland/ntnubeamer/). In private conversation in December 2015, Berland licensed his code under a [Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License] (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/), and so naturally goes for all code in this repository.

However, the design is owned by NTNU, and should not be altered substantially without checking it with the [Communication Division] (https://www.ntnu.no/adm/komm).

So far, this is built using duct tape and chewing gum, so any contribution to improve the code is very welcome.
