SlideView

SlideView[{expr₁, expr₂, ...}]
represents an object in which the expr_i are set up to be displayed on successive slides.

SlideView[{expr₁, expr₂, ...}, i]
makes the i

slide be the one currently displayed.

MORE INFORMATION

SlideView by default displays with a standard collection of slide viewing controls.

SlideView[list, Dynamic[i]] takes the displayed slide to be specified by the dynamically updated current value of i, with the value of i being reset if a different slide is displayed.

The following options can be given:

	Alignment	Automatic	how to align objects in the display area
	AppearanceElements	Automatic	control elements to include
	Background	Automatic	background color to use
	BaselinePosition	Automatic	how to align with a surrounding text baseline
	BaseStyle	{}	base style specifications for the SlideView
	ControlPlacement	Top	where to place slide viewing controls
	Deployed	False	whether the contents should be uneditable
	Enabled	Automatic	whether controls are enabled
	FrameMargins	Automatic	margins inside the overall frame
	ImageMargins	Automatic	margins around the display area
	ImageSize	All	the overall image size for the display area

With the default option setting ImageSize->All, SlideView always leaves space for the largest of the expr_i to be displayed, so that its overall size does not change. »

With ImageSize->Automatic, SlideView leaves space only for the expr_i currently being displayed.

The following elements are included by default: "FirstSlide", "PreviousSlide", "NextSlide", "LastSlide". Additional possible elements include: "SlideNumber", "SlideTotal", "SliderControl", "PlayPauseButton", "FasterSlowerButtons", "DirectionButton". These elements can be specified in any order in a list given as the setting for AppearanceElements.

The settings for BaseStyle are appended to the default style typically given by the "SlideView" style in the current stylesheet.
