Keynote would be absolutely amazing if it allowed for one thing: graphic/pdf objects to be anchored inline with text. With this, latex rendered formula could be included in a far easier manner.
Most CS academics use macs at this point, and I'm sure engineers would find it invaluable as well. Apple has been ignoring its more technical users and focussing on the the masses for a while now. It's rather disappointing.
- temphn 15y agoLaTeXit is pretty good for this purpose.
- tensor 15y agoYep, but unless I am mistaken and a newer version has fixed this, you can't put an equation into a line of text. You need to position it in an absolute sense and leave space in the text using spaces. The feature I'm suggesting about would allow anchoring an image to a character and allow the text to flow around it.
- bonzoesc 15y agoI disagree. Most slides benefit from having less content on them. A better way to jam different kinds of content together on one slide really doesn't help your viewers. And you can be disappointed in Apple focusing on consumers, but you can't say it's not working for them.
- juiceandjuice 15y agoYou obviously have no frame of reference to this conversation. This isn't Hawking writing to the masses, he's talking about technical presentations.
- bonzoesc 15y agoMy frame of reference is that most academic technical presentations are bad, just like most software produced during university research is bad to the point of being impossible to run anywhere else. You may feel that the information in a single slide with three formulas and a few bullets of prose makes it worth the effort to put up with a bad slide, but that doesn't make it a good slide by any means.
