## EXAMPLES

In addition to the above example, these gallery examples are set up as slides: td and errbar5

## MAKING SLIDES

pl may be used to create slides.``

There are several strategies: 1) use pl in PostScript mode, sending it directly to a film slide making system; 2) use pl to generate a data display then import it (PNG, EPS, GIF) into your slide system; 3) use pl in PNG or GIF mode and present graphs using a browser and a screen projection system.``

## POWERPOINT

PNG, SVG , and GIF files may be imported into PowerPoint.``

EPS files may be used with PowerPoint if the result will be processed through a PostScript film imager (the EPS will not be visible when previewing the slides on the screen, or if presenting slides from a screen projector).

## BACKGROUNDS

Often light lines on a dark background works better on slides.`` In the example, `proc page` is used to set a dark background color (darkblue), and a light text/line color (white).`` Also the overall line thickness is increased.``

It may be convenient to use a background color of `transparent` when making a PNG or GIF for inclusion into a slides package. This allows the ploticus graph to be "overlayed" on the existing background color of the importing application (assuming that it knows about transparency).``
