Re: st: Inserting Stata output in Beamer presentation

[Roger Newson <r.newson@imperial.ac.uk>]

I personally use the \verbatim or \semiverbatim environments in my 
Beamer presentations, which frequently contain Stata text output cut and 
pasted from .log files. A recent example of such a presentation, in .pdf 
format, given at last year's Stata User Meeting, can be downloaded from 
my website at
http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nhli/r.newson/usergp.htm#uk2010

An example, from this presentation, of a Beamer frame containing a 
\verbatim environment \verbatim environment is as follows:
%%%% BEGINNING OF FRAME - CUT HERE
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Step~2 (continued): Regression results}

The Stata Version~11 \texttt{regress} produces its usual output:

There are 2 intercepts for US and non--US models,
and effects on mileage for repair records other than 5 (the reference 
level).

%%%% END OF FRAME - CUT HERE

An example of a frame containing a \semiverbatim environment is as follows:

%%%% BEGINNING OF FRAME - CUT HERE
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{Step~1: Save a description of the factors in a do--file}

\onslide<2->{
We start by inputting the \texttt{auto} data.
We then run \texttt{descsave}, a ``super'' version of \texttt{describe},
on the factor variables:
}
\scriptsize
\begin{semiverbatim}
\uncover<3->{
. sysuse auto, clear;
(1978 Automobile Data)
}\uncover<4->{
. tempfile df0;
}\uncover<5->{
. descsave foreign rep78,
>   list(name type format vallab varlab, clean noobs)
>   do(`"`df0'"', replace);
}\uncover<6->{
    name      type   format   vallab   varlab
    foreign   byte   %8.0g    origin   Car type
    rep78     int    %8.0g             Repair Record 1978
}
\end{semiverbatim}
\normalsize
\onslide<7->{
\texttt{descsave} can list attributes of the variables being described,
and/or save a temporary do--file,
which can be used later to reconstruct these attributes
for variables with the same names in another dataset.
}

I hope this helps.
