Similar is the situation for the following lines as illustrated above. Also note that the functionality is mentioned by the last line, i.e line number 15.

This brings us to the end of the first slide. We now look at some more concepts.

The second slide as mentioned above gives the effect of drawing a color gradient on the background. The color gradient is between blue and darkblue. These are just some of the stunning effects possible with MagicPoint. To know more about some of the default templates available check out the MagicPoint homepage for good links.

Let's now go through line numbers 16-25 in this section.

%page <--16

%bgrad 0 0 16 0 0 blue darkblue <-- 17

Line 16 denotes the starting of a new slide. Line 17 creates a color gradient between blue and dark blue. The grade variable takes 5 parameters, which can be described as follows.

%bgrad

:: width of generated image(0-100%)

0 means physical display size

:: height of generated image(0-100%)

0 means physical display size

:: number of colors, 0 means no reduction.

default 256 colors(8bit)

0 :Top to Bottom 90 :Left to Right
