Documentclass options

There are several documentclass options associated with the Prosper documentclass. The keywords within the square brackets below are documentclass options:

\documentclass[pdf,azure,slideColor,colorBG]{prosper}

The meaning and effect of the azure option was described in the previous section. In this section I will describe the meanings of the other options.

The colorBG option

In sample.tex, changing the line:

\documentclass[pdf,azure,slideColor,colorBG]{prosper}

to:

\documentclass[pdf,azure,slideColor,nocolorBG]{prosper}

will disable the slide's color background. Here is the resulting slide:

Observe how the text color, which was white originally, has changed to black, otherwise you would have had white text on white background, which is not a good thing.

Remark 1: The effects of colorBG and nocolorBG options vary with the choice of style. Some Prosper styles may completely ignore these options. Experiment to find out their effects.

The slideColor option

The opposite of slideColor is slideBW. The option slideBW suggests to Prosper to minimize the use of color in slides. This may be useful for printing the slides on a black-and-white printer. The line:

\documentclass[pdf,azure,slideBW,nocolorBG]{prosper}

produces the following slide:

The pdf option

The opposite of the pdf option is the ps option. The ps option is useful when printing slides to a printer. With the ps option, slides which comprise several overlays, are printed as one composite slide. With the pdf option, a slide containing 5 overlays will be printed on 5 separate sheets.
