WRI says there is "no easy way" to control the aspect ratio of slides in slideshows, even though everything is an expression and there's ~200 kinds of Box.

In other words, a slide grows as more content is added. That's less like a slide and more like a notebook. Is there a way to auto-resize the content or at least break to a new slide when the content reaches a certain size?

  • If you think the slide is getting too full it isn't that difficult to start a new one yourself, is it? – Sjoerd C. de Vries Jul 21 '15 at 19:00
  • That's the wrong way to think. PowerPoint auto resizes. Like the Emerald ECL1 cloud lab's WL/SLL, we should aim for computational closure - on the UI. – alancalvitti Jul 21 '15 at 19:15

    That's the wrong way to design a slide, I'd say. Having slides with various font sizes is ugly and besides, it means you're cramming too much on a slide. The golden rule is: No more than 9 short lines on a slide. – Sjoerd C. de Vries Jul 21 '15 at 19:20
  • Agreed in general, but WTC template is slides > https://www.wolfram.com/events/technology-conference/2015/files/wtc-presentation-template.nb , so there's code + graphics as well as text. But even so, the elastic PPT bullet points are a great feature. – alancalvitti Jul 21 '15 at 19:25
  • I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because the question has already been answered "no" by Wolfram Research – m_goldberg Aug 12 '15 at 11:02
