Dear all:
I have used Inkscape for a while now, and the more I use it, the more
I like it. Congratulations to the whole community and thanks a lot
for your work! Among other things, I use Inkscape to edit
illustrations for my presentations. One thing that I don't like about
the process, is that I create the images, then export them to PDF and
afterwards import them into Keynote. It's not very convenient and
that got me thinking about a way to improve the process.
After looking at different approaches for web slide shows (based on
HTML, CSS, SVG and JavaScript in various combinations), I plugged
together a small JavaScript programme that turns an Inkscape image
into a slide show. Every layer of the image becomes one slide. The
beauty of the approach is that the set-up and the definition of the
transitions can be done from within Inkscape and everything is
contained in the SVG image file. To view the presentation the SVG
image can be loaded into any browser with JavaScript and SVG support.
So far, I tested it successfully in Firefox and Safari on OSX and in
Firefox on WindowsXP.
There is lots more that could still be done to improve the code and
to integrate it better with Inkscape, but I wanted to see what people
think about it before I continue to work on improvements. You can
download the image (presentation) from the link below. I hope you'll
have fun playing around with it. Feedback and pointers to other
approaches for solving the same problem are always appreciated.

The image above uses the DejaVu fonts. If you don't have them on your
system, other fonts will be used and the results will look slightly
different.
Cheers,

Very nice. There are a couple of other apps that do something similar
here:
http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Tools#Multipage_presentation_or_book
Maybe you should add yours there as well. They all take a slightly
different approach, with yours probably being the most useful / up to
date methodology.
How did you handle the bullet lists, out of interest? I'm not aware of
an efficient way of doing that in Inkscape.
Cheers -Terry

Hi Terry:
Very nice. There are a couple of other apps that do something

Thanks, I haven't been aware of the list.

Sounds like a good idea.
How did you handle the bullet lists, out of interest? I'm not
aware of
an efficient way of doing that in Inkscape.
Hmm, sorry, no insights there. I just copied and pasted the symbol
and used the alignment and distribution tools to adjust the
positions. The effort was ok, because I grouped the star with the
text and then just copied the group and changed the text. However,
it's not really efficient.
Cheers,
Hannes

Now that is dang cool! I just tried it in Linux (Zenwalk 5.0) with Iceweasel 2.0.0.11
and it works like a champ. This is a great idea.

Agreed. I was very surprised by this, and delighted with how simple it
all was.

Yes, very elegant indeed!

Thanks and thanks for testing it on Linux with Iceweasel. I am
pleased to hear that it is so portable.
