If the ⟨overlay specification⟩ is present, the ⟨text⟩ is the target for hyper jumps to ⟨target name⟩ only on the specified slide. On all other slides, the text is shown normally. Note that you must add an overlay specification to the \hypertarget command whenever you use it on frames that have multiple slides (otherwise pdflatex rightfully complains that you have defined the same target on different slides).

Example:

\begin{frame}
  \begin{itemize}
  \item<1-> First item.
  \item<2-> Second item.
  \item<3-> Third item.
  \end{itemize}

  \hyperlink{jumptosecond}{\beamergotobutton{Jump to second slide}}
  \hypertarget<2>{jumptosecond}{}
\end{frame}

You must say \usepackage[hyperref]{beamerarticle} or \usepackage{hyperref} in your preamble to use this command in article mode.

\begin{frame}[label=threeitems]
  \begin{itemize}
  \item<1-> First item.
  \item<2-> Second item.
  \item<3-> Third item.
  \end{itemize}

  \hyperlink{threeitems<2>}{\beamergotobutton{Jump to second slide}}
\end{frame}

Draws a button with the given ⟨button text⟩.

Example: \hyperlink{somewhere}{\beamerbutton{Go somewhere}}

This command (and the following) just insert their argument in article mode.

Draws a button with the given ⟨button text⟩. Before the text, a small symbol (usually a right-pointing arrow) is inserted that indicates that pressing this button will jump to another “area” of the presentation.

Example: \hyperlink{detour}{\beamergotobutton{Go to detour}}

The symbol drawn for this button is usually a double right arrow. Use this button if pressing it will skip over a well-defined part of your talk.

Example:

\begin{frame}
  \begin{theorem}
    ...
  \end{theorem}

  \begin{overprint}
  \onslide<1>
    \hfill\hyperlinkframestartnext{\beamerskipbutton{Skip proof}}
  \onslide<2>
    \begin{proof}
      ...
    \end{proof}
  \end{overprint}
\end{frame}

The symbol drawn for this button is usually a left-pointing arrow. Use this button if pressing it will return from a detour.

Example:

\begin{frame}<1>[label=mytheorem]
  \begin{theorem}
    ...
  \end{theorem}

  \begin{overprint}
  \onslide<1>
    \hfill\hyperlink{mytheorem<2>}{\beamergotobutton{Go to proof details}}
  \onslide<2>
    \begin{proof}
      ...
    \end{proof}
    \hfill\hyperlink{mytheorem<1>}{\beamerreturnbutton{Return}}
  \end{overprint}
\end{frame}
\appendix
\againframe<2>{mytheorem}

Only one ⟨overlay specification⟩ may be given. The ⟨link text⟩ is typeset in the usual way. If you click anywhere on this text, you will jump to the slide on which the \hypertarget command was used with the parameter ⟨target name⟩. If an ⟨overlay specification⟩ is present, the hyperlink (including the ⟨link text⟩) is completely suppressed on the non-specified slides.

Clicking the text jumps one slide back.

Clicking the text jumps one slide forward.

Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the current frame.

Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the current frame.

Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the next frame.

Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the previous frame.

Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the presentation.

Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the presentation. This excludes the appendix.

Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the appendix. If there is no appendix, this will jump to the last slide of the document.

Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the appendix.

Clicking the text jumps to the first slide of the presentation.

Clicking the text jumps to the last slide of the presentation or, if an appendix is present, to the last slide of the appendix.

Resumes a frame that was previously created using \frame with the option label=⟨name⟩. You must have used this option, just placing a label inside a frame “by hand” is not enough. You can use this command to “continue” a frame that has been interrupted by another frame. The effect of this command is to call the \frame command with the given ⟨overlay specification⟩, ⟨default overlay specification⟩ (if present), and ⟨options⟩ (if present) and with the original frame’s contents.

Example:

\begin{frame}<1-2>[label=myframe]
  \begin{itemize}
  \item First subject.
  \item Second subject.
  \item Third subject.
  \end{itemize}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
  Some stuff explaining more on the second matter.
\end{frame}

\againframe<3>{myframe}

The effect of the above code is to create four slides. In the first two, the items 1 and 2 are highlighted. The third slide contains the text “Some stuff explaining more on the second matter.” The fourth slide is identical to the first two slides, except that the third point is now highlighted.

Example:

\begin{frame}<1>[label=Cantor]
  \frametitle{Main Theorem}

  \begin{Theorem}
    $\alpha < 2^\alpha$ for all ordinals~$\alpha$.
  \end{Theorem}

  \begin{overprint}
  \onslide<1>
    \hyperlink{Cantor<2>}{\beamergotobutton{Proof details}}

  \onslide<2->
    % this is only shown in the appendix, where this frame is resumed.
    \begin{proof}
      As shown by Cantor, ...
    \end{proof}

    \hfill\hyperlink{Cantor<1>}{\beamerreturnbutton{Return}}
  \end{overprint}
\end{frame}

...
\appendix

\againframe<2>{Cantor}

In this example, the proof details are deferred to a slide in the appendix. Hyperlinks are setup, so that one can jump to the proof and go back.

This command is ignored in article mode.

This command should be given somewhere at the beginning of a frame. When given, two different things will happen, depending on whether the ⟨button overlay specification⟩ applies to the current slide of the frame or whether the ⟨zoomed overlay specification⟩ applies. These overlay specifications should not overlap.

If the ⟨button overlay specification⟩ applies, a clickable area is created inside the frame. The size of this area is given by ⟨zoom area width⟩ and ⟨zoom area depth⟩, which are two normal TeX dimensions (like 1cm or 20pt). The upper left corner of this area is given by ⟨upper left x⟩ and ⟨upper left y⟩, which are also TeX dimensions. They are measures relative to the place where the first normal text of a frame would go. Thus, the location (0pt,0pt) is at the beginning of the normal text (which excludes the headline and also the frame title).

By default, the button is clickable, but it will not be indicated in any special way. You can draw a border around the button by using the following ⟨option⟩:

• • border=⟨width in pixels⟩ will draw a border around the specified button area. The default width is 1 pixel. The color of this button is the linkbordercolor of hyperref. beamer sets this color to a 50% gray by default.
  To change this, you can use the command \hypersetup{linkbordercolor={⟨red⟩ ⟨green⟩ ⟨blue⟩}}, where ⟨red⟩, ⟨green⟩, and ⟨blue⟩ are values between 0 and 1.

When you press the button created in this way, the viewer application will hyperjump to the first of the frames specified by the ⟨zoomed overlay specification⟩. For the slides to which this overlay specification applies, the following happens:

The exact same area as the one specified before is “zoomed out” to fill the whole normal text area of the frame. Everything else, including the sidebars, the headlines and footlines, and even the frame title retain their normal size. The zooming is performed in such a way that the whole specified area is completely shown. The aspect ratio is kept correct and the zoomed area will possibly show more than just the specified area if the aspect ratio of this area and the aspect ratio of the available text area do not agree.

Behind the whole text area (which contains the zoomed area) a big invisible “Back” button is put. Thus clicking anywhere on the text area will jump back to the original (unzoomed) picture.

You can specify several zoom areas for a single frame. In this case, you should specify different ⟨zoomed overlay specification⟩, but you can specify the same ⟨button overlay specification⟩. You cannot nest zoomings in the sense that you cannot have a zoom button on a slide that is in some ⟨zoomed overlay specification⟩. However, you can have overlapping and even nested ⟨button overlay specification⟩. When clicking on an area that belongs to several buttons, the one given last will “win” (it should hence be the smallest one).

If you do not wish to have the frame title shown on a zoomed slide, you can add an overlay specification to the \frametitle command that simply suppresses the title for the slide. Also, by using the plain option, you can have the zoomed slide fill the whole page.

Example: A simple case

\begin{frame}
  \frametitle{A Complicated Picture}

  \framezoom<1><2>(0cm,0cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
  \framezoom<1><3>(1cm,3cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
  \framezoom<1><4>(3cm,2cm)(3cm,2cm)

  \pgfimage[height=8cm]{complicatedimagefilename}
\end{frame}

Example: A more complicate case in which the zoomed parts completely fill the frames.

\begin{frame}<1>[label=zooms]
  \frametitle<1>{A Complicated Picture}

  \framezoom<1><2>[border](0cm,0cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
  \framezoom<1><3>[border](1cm,3cm)(2cm,1.5cm)
  \framezoom<1><4>[border](3cm,2cm)(3cm,2cm)

  \pgfimage[height=8cm]{complicatedimagefilename}
\end{frame}
\againframe<2->[plain]{zooms}
