Beampy Theme¶

To create personal theme you could find inspiration in beampy/themes/ folder to the check available examples. The default theme is defined in beampy/statics/default_theme.py.

Copy one of these files to a new one (in the beampy/themes/ folder) and rename it with a new name like mytheme_theme.py. You should keep the “_theme.py” at the end of the file.

Theme file are organised as python dictionary for which keys refers to Beampy modules. For each Beampy modules the dictionary contains a new dictionary with module arguments and their default values. For instance, the default theme define the following for Beampy text module:

THEME['text'] = {
 'size':20,
 'font':'CMR',
 'color':'#000000',
 'align':'',
 'x':'center',
 'y':'auto',
 'width':None,
 'usetex':True,
 'va': ''
 }

Then you could load your theme using:

#for a file named mytheme_theme.py in beampy/themes folder
doc = document(theme='mytheme')

You could also change theme property directly in your presentation source file.

from beampy import *

doc = document(theme="mytheme")
# show keys of the theme dictionary
print(doc._theme)

# Change some keys
doc._theme['title']['color'] = '#000000'
doc._theme['title']['x'] = 'center'

If your proud of your new theme, please share it with us ! Either creating a github pull request or send it to the mailing list mailing list
