Markus Teich 4a828c2d6c prevent flickering when changing slides
When the window background is left at WhitePixel (from initialization) and the
user has set a dark background color in config.h, the window shortly displays
the white default background when clearing after advancing to another slide.
This was very disturbing and is fixed now by setting the default window
background color to the bgcol chosen in config.h.

sent is a simple plaintext presentation tool.

sent does not need latex, libreoffice or any other fancy file format, it uses plaintext files and png images. Every paragraph represents a slide in the presentation.

The presentation is displayed in a simple X11 window. The content of each slide is automatically scaled to fit the window and centered so you also don't have to worry about alignment. Instead you can really concentrate on the content.

Demo

To get a little demo, just type

make && ./sent example

You can navigate with the arrow keys and quit with q.

Usage

sent FILE1 [FILE2 ...]

If one FILE equals -, stdin will be read. Produce image slides by prepending a @ in front of the filename as a single paragraph. Lines starting with # will be ignored. A \ at the beginning of the line escapes @ and #. A presentation file could look like this:

sent

@nyan.png

depends on
- Xlib
- libpng

sent FILENAME
one slide per paragraph
# This is a comment and will not be part of the presentation
\# This and the next line start with backslashes

\@FILE.png
