PythonPoint

lets you create attractive and consistent presentation slides
on any platform. It is a demo app built on top of the PDFgen PDF library
and the PLATYPUS Page Layout library. Essentially, it converts slides
in an XML format to PDF.

<para style="BodyText">
It can be used right now to create slide shows, but will
undoubtedly change and evolve. Read on for a tutorial...

You create slides in a text editor with a basic

The Page Layout model comes from PLATYPUS (Page Layout and Typography Using Scripts),

Reuse and Consistency – Sections
</para>
<para style="BodyText">
You can create a 'section' spanning some or all tags in the presentation
and place graphics on this. The blue border and title come from the
section. Here's how we did the border:
</para>
<prefmt style="Code"><![CDATA[
<presentation filename='pythonpoint.pdf'>
<section name = 'Main'>
<!-- any graphics in the section go on all its pages as a backdrop -->
<rectangle x="20" y="510" width="800" height="65" fill="(0,0,1)"/>
