Tufte-style Beamer Template with Julia Integration

A beamer template using Tufte-LaTeX style with Julia code integration similar to Tufte Algorithms Book Template. The template allows for the direct compilation of a presentation-ready PDF, including support for figures, Julia algorithm blocks, and Julia console blocks.

Forked from simple-tufte-beamer and framework modified from tufte_algorithms_book.

Example

See example slides: main.pdf

Installation

Install Julia.

Install LaTeX via texlive. We recommend this repo.

• Install the lm-math package to get the LatinModernMath font.

Clone the repository to a location of your choosing:

git clone https://github.com/mossr/julia-tufte-beamer.git

Initialize and update the submodule (juliaplots.sty):

git submodule init
git submodule update

Install lexer and style (may need pip3 instead):

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/sisl/pygments-julia#egg=pygments_julia
pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/sisl/pygments-style-algforopt#egg=pygments_style_algforopt

Install the required Julia packages.

julia jl/install.jl

Install pdf2svg, which is used by PGFPlots (we assume Ubuntu - other operating systems may install pdf2svg differently):

sudo apt-get install pdf2svg

For pdf2svg on Windows (place dist-* directory on PATH): https://github.com/jalios/pdf2svg-windows

Install pgfplots.

We require pythontex, which you can get from texlive or miktex. Alternatively, you can download the latest version of pythontex from https://github.com/gpoore/pythontex.

(Note that on arch-based systems, one should use tllocalmgr instead.)

Test

Running the following pulls all the code and then runs all tests in juliatest blocks. See runtests.jl for details.

julia jl/runtests.jl

Compilation

Install latexmk from: https://mg.readthedocs.io/latexmk.html#installation

• latexmk will compile everything (see output/ for PDF).
  • latexmk will intelligently compile only the necessary bits.
• latexmk -c will clean up generated files.
• latexmk -C will clean up generated files (including .pdf).
• latexmk tex/sandbox.tex will compile tex/sandbox.tex (meant for development, e.g., single files)
