Usage Usage: TexPoint can be used in inline or display mode
Inline usage: You write \alpha_0 \otimes \beta_{\approx1} \rightarrow^\alpha \Gamma Press ALT-X-X and it turns into a0 Ä b»1 ®a G Or you write \sum^n_{i=1} i^2 = x \and \forall y. y \geq 5 \implies \exists x. x \leq y Press ALT-X-X and it turns into åni=1 i2 = x Ù + y. y ³ 5 Þ $ x. x £ y Display usage You press ALT-X-D and you are prompted to edit standard Latex source for a display Once you have a display you can double click on it, or you can right-click on it. Try it on the display below:

More About Inline Mode You can do a lot of formatting without leaving the keyboard E.g. \font{Arial}{\bf{a^{\underline{bc}}}} Turns into abc You can define per-presentation initialization macros with arguments: E.g. \newcommand{and}{0}{\wedge} E.g. \newcommand{type}{3}{#1 \vdash #2 : #3} E.g. \newcommand{union}{0}{\fontchr{Symbol}{201}} You have access to almost all symbol macros that AMS Latex defines The macro arguments preserve their font style E.g. \type{G}{bold}{a font} expands to G ` bold : a font

More About Display Mode
You can do anything that Latex can do Displays can be colored (using color Latex commands) ... or can be made to blend on the slide Displays can be processed as usual bitmaps (size, position, brightness, contrast) and in addition their Latex source can be changed. They can be copied and pasted even in other presentations since their Latex source is embedded in them.
