## Convert to a Beamer presentation

### Description

Format for converting from R Markdown to a Beamer presentation.

### Usage

    beamer_presentation(toc = FALSE, slide_level = NULL, incremental = FALSE,
      fig_width = 10, fig_height = 7, fig_crop = TRUE, fig_caption = TRUE,
      dev = "pdf", df_print = "default", theme = "default",
      colortheme = "default", fonttheme = "default", highlight = "default",
      template = "default", keep_tex = FALSE, latex_engine = "pdflatex",
      citation_package = c("none", "natbib", "biblatex"), includes = NULL,
      md_extensions = NULL, pandoc_args = NULL)

### Arguments

`toc` | `TRUE` to include a table of contents in the output (only level 1 headers will be included in the table of contents).
`slide_level` | The heading level which defines individual slides. By default this is the highest header level in the hierarchy that is followed immediately by content, and not another header, somewhere in the document. This default can be overridden by specifying an explicit `slide_level`.
`incremental` | `TRUE` to render slide bullets incrementally. Note that if you want to reverse the default incremental behavior for an individual bullet you can precede it with `>`. For example: `> - Bullet Text`
`fig_width` | Default width (in inches) for figures
`fig_height` | Default width (in inches) for figures
`fig_crop` | `TRUE` to automatically apply the `pdfcrop` utility (if available) to pdf figures
`fig_caption` | `TRUE` to render figures with captions
`dev` | Graphics device to use for figure output (defaults to pdf)
`df_print` | Method to be used for printing data frames. Valid values include "default", "kable", "tibble", and "paged". The "default" method uses `print.data.frame`. The "kable" method uses the `knitr::kable` function. The "tibble" method uses the tibble package to print a summary of the data frame. The "paged" method creates a paginated HTML table (note that this method is only valid for formats that produce HTML). In addition to the named methods you can also pass an arbitrary function to be used for printing data frames. You can disable the df_print behavior entirely by setting the option `rmarkdown.df_print` to `FALSE`.
`theme` | Beamer theme (e.g. "AnnArbor").
`colortheme` | Beamer color theme (e.g. "dolphin").
`fonttheme` | Beamer font theme (e.g. "structurebold").
`highlight` | Syntax highlighting style. Supported styles include "default", "tango", "pygments", "kate", "monochrome", "espresso", "zenburn", and "haddock". Pass `NULL` to prevent syntax highlighting.
`template` | Pandoc template to use for rendering. Pass "default" to use the rmarkdown package default template; pass `NULL` to use pandoc's built-in template; pass a path to use a custom template that you've created. See the documentation on pandoc online documentation for details on creating custom templates.
`keep_tex` | Keep the intermediate tex file used in the conversion to PDF
`latex_engine` | LaTeX engine for producing PDF output. Options are "pdflatex", "lualatex", and "xelatex".
`citation_package` | The LaTeX package to process citations, `natbib` or `biblatex`. Use `none` if neither package is to be used.
`includes` | Named list of additional content to include within the document (typically created using the `includes` function).
`md_extensions` | Markdown extensions to be added or removed from the default definition or R Markdown. See the `rmarkdown_format` for additional details.
`pandoc_args` | Additional command line options to pass to pandoc

### Details

See the online documentation for additional details on using the `beamer_presentation` format.

Creating Beamer output from R Markdown requires that LaTeX be installed.

R Markdown documents can have optional metadata that is used to generate a document header that includes the title, author, and date. For more details see the documentation on R Markdown metadata.

R Markdown documents also support citations. You can find more information on the markdown syntax for citations in the Bibliographies and Citations article in the online documentation.

### Value

R Markdown output format to pass to `render`

### Examples

    library(rmarkdown)

    # simple invocation
    render("pres.Rmd", beamer_presentation())

    # specify an option for incremental rendering
