I saw your posting above a few days ago.  You seem to imply that one
can convert automatically, "Compiling my latex sources to Slidy", from
LaTeX to Slidy, but it was not obvious how fromthe documentation page.

Did you do it by hand?

If it was automatic I may add it to my LaTeX page:

Re: Slides without logo

Dear Sirs,

I am using the logocmd and the logo is exist on every slide.
I would like to suppress it from some page.
(I want it on most pages.)

How can I do it?

Not a very elegant solution perhaps, but a possible way to do it is  
to temporarily set the logo empty and then reissue to logo command  
when needed:

% a slide (or a few) without logo:

\pdsetup{logocmd={}}

\begin{slide}{title} ... \end{slide}

% from now on, reinstate the logo:
\pdsetup{logocmd={\includegraphics[width=0.2\slidewidth] 
{mylogo},logohook=bl,logopos={0,0}} %or whatever
...

Re: Slides without logo

Dear Luis,

It is good idea, I am going to try it.
I thought it is possible disable the logo using a simple way, instead of
 redefining it ... :)

Re: Slides without logo

Dear Luis,

It does not work.
Now, I have no logo on the first page. (because it is not yet defined)
I define it in the line after the author or the date field.

On a slide, I don't want it to appear, I did a "\pdsetup{logocmd={}}"
command. It had no effect, I get the logo displayed again. I tried
setting the other logo parameters to zero as well, but with no success.

I don't know latex in deep, but I think in powerdot.cls it is possible
to hack somehow, what slide needs drawing that logo.

Especially, I don't want logo on title page and widepages.

Maybe, there is an other workaround, undefining some other values in the
cls file?

Any comments?

Re: Slides without logo

Alex,

as stated in the docs: you'll have a logo as long as logopos is set.
You can make it empty to remove the logo. And by putting the slide in
a local group, you'll keep that effect local. See below.

-Hendri.

\documentclass{powerdot}
\pdsetup{
  logohook=tr,
  logopos={\slidewidth,\slideheight},
  logocmd={\includegraphics[height=.11\slideheight]{powerdot-default.ps}}
}
\title{test}
\author{Hendri}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\begin{slide}{test}
\end{slide}
{
\pdsetup{logopos=}
\begin{slide}{test}
\end{slide}
}
\begin{slide}{test}
\end{slide}
\end{document}

Re: Slides without logo

Dear Hendri,

I have checked it in the docs, and I found it in the .cls as well.
I do this in lyx and When I try to set the logopos to empty,
it has no effect.

I tried your example that works well!

I attached a very simple file with the example.

I have installed my system recently (a few days earlier) SuSe 10.1,
I have not yet customized tex, and I am using LyX 1.4.3 stable, with
your 1.3 Powerdot, and the necessary setkeyval (?) and hyperref updates.

Earlier, I had problems with my language extentions, but this not the
case. The file using english language. (I would like to use hungarian
later...)

Can you propose something?

You must have made a mistake as lyx runs the same code in the end.
When exported to latex, it looks a bit differently, but it does
exactly the same.

If only I had some free time, I would look at that...

Re: Slides without logo - resolved

Dear Hendri,

I found a most common solution. I have slightly modified the
powerdot.cls to suit my needs.

I am not sure that my modifications are correct, but the behaviour
is that I would expect from the logo command, i.e. no logo on title,
wide and empty slides.

Maybe there is a much better solution, I am not a TeX master. :)
