I'm not looking for lengthy input because I could always just evaluate
both classes. I'm just wondering if there is an obvious reason to use
one or the other.
Thanks a lot,
Julian Dibbelt
Hi Julian,
IMHO the more essential difference between the classes is as follows:
Beamer accepts two ways of compiling source files:
1. LATEX => DVI => PS => PDF (using LaTeX, Ghostscript and Ps2Pdf),
2. LATEX => PDF (using PDFLaTeX),
whereas Powerdot accepts only first way. So, if you want directly
include, e.g., *.jpeg pictures into presentation, you should use Beamer.
With best regards,
