% This is a template for using the ffslides class. It contains brief 
% documentation of the class's facilities.  See the file ffslides_doc.pdf and/or
% ffslides.cls for more detail.
%
% Available options:
%   showgrid            Puts a 100x100 grid (with color ffgridcolor) over the 
%                       background.
%   <name>              If option <name> is entered, then a file matching 
%                       bground-<name>.txt is read to produce the background. 
%                       Files matching header-<name>.txt or footer-<name>.txt 
%                       are read to define the header or footer, respectively. 
%                       More than one such option can be specified, but only 
%                       the first match of each kind is used.
%   draft, leqno        Passed on to article class on which ffslides is based.
%   fleqn, openbib      Passed on to article class.
%   10pt, 11pt, 12pt    Passed on to article class (only need to set this for 
%                       font or package compatibility).

%=== Change page size/dimensions ===
% Use \ffpage{<lines_tall>}{<aspect_ratio>} To specify page dimensions.  E.g. 
% use 1.3333 for 4:3 pages, 1.7778 for 16:9 pages.


%=== Set up fonts ===
% It is not necessary to put anything here, but this is a good place to put any
% font-related preamble lines.  For convenience here are some (not all) packages
% that allow selection of different matched text + math fonts.
% \usepackage{fourierNC}                 %-New Century Schoolbook + Fourier math
% \usepackage{newcent}                   %-Century Schoolbook
% \usepackage{mathptmx}                  %-Times 
% \usepackage{bookman}                   %-bookman
% \usepackage{mathpple}                  %-palatino
% \usepackage{mathpazo}                  %-palatino
% \usepackage{arev}                      %-arev 



%=== Load needed packages ===
% Packages pstricks, geometry, lastpage, twoopt, and graphics are loaded with 
% the class. Here, load any packages you need to make your design (e.g. pst-*
% packages for additional pstricks capabilities).



%=== Define colors ===
% Define any colors you will need.  Use the pstricks facilities, e.g.:
% \newrgbcolor{<name>}{R G B}
% \newgray{<name>}{graylevel} 
% Use name ffgridcolor to change the color of the alignment grid (if using 
% option showgrid, or the \gridon command)



%=== Redefine the background ===
% If not using the default background or setting the background through the
% class options, customize the background with
% \renewcommand{\drawbackground}{<code>}



%=== Redefine the header ===
% If not using the default header or the class option, customize the header with 
% \renewcommand{\drawheader}[1]{<code>}.  Remember that this command takes one
% argument (the slide title).




%=== Redefine the footer ===
% If not using the default footer or the class option, customize the footer with 
% \renewcommand{\drawfooter}{<code>}.




%=== Control the dtext, ctext, and btext regions ===
% Use \renewcommand to change from the defaults. 
% * For dtext, you may change \dtexttopedge, \dtextleftedge, \dtextrightedge,  
%   and \dtextinclude. 
% * For ctext, you may change \ctextinclude.
% * For btext, you may change \btextboxinclude and you can change the default 
%   box style using \newpsstyle{btextboxstyle}{<pstricks parameters list>}
% The "include" macros are inserted just before the contents of their respective 
% boxes, so they can be used to set default colors, line spacing, \parskip, and 
% so on for the contents of each type of box.




%=== Change default bullets for \qi, \qii, \qiii ===
% Use \renewcommand to re-define \qitemi, \qitemii, or \qitemiii to specify 
% what is to appear by default in the "bullet" or "left side" of the \qi, \qii,
% and \qiii structures.  By default these mimic the default bullets in an 
% itemize list. These commands are purely optional.

%=== Place your own macros below this line ====================================


% A few potentially useful packages are listed here for convenience:
%\usepackage{setspace}  %use, e.g., \begin{spacing}{2.5} blahblah \end{spacing}
%\usepackage{bbding}    %dingbat fonts e.g. for bullets
%\usepackage{amsmath}
%\usepackage{amssymb}
%\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}  %better underlines and other text decoration
%\usepackage{multicol}  %multi-column in a minipage (e.g. for contents, refs)
%\usepackage{enumitem}  %easier control of lists

%---------------------------------------
\blankpage
\ctext[c]{0.5}{0.4}{0.7}{\centering This could become a title page.}

%---------------------------------------
\normalpage{This is a normal page}{%
Using \texttt{\textbackslash normalpage\{title\}\{contents\}} creates a new page, adds in the background, header, and footer, and puts its second argument (the contents of the page, i.e. this text) into a \texttt{\textbackslash dtext} box.

For more guidance please see ffslides.doc or the class file itself.
