Title Page Alignment and Transparenting Paragraph and Lines in Beamer

Question

I am not able to set my Title page as I want. Like, there is a huge gap between the title and above space and also to make title big and also to place my name, institute and my university logo in better place. Here is the link of my university logo https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=i&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cuhimachal.ac.in%2F&psig=AOvVaw1lPuHysHY-TdFCdIFUyBJc&ust=1595416760523000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCJD3j9yc3uoCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD

Also when when doing a presentation we'll want to reveal parts of a frame one after the other. So How to make it possible as i used setbeamercoveredpage{transparent} but it seems i am unable to do it. Below is my code

\documentclass[11pt,t]{beamer} %<----- top align all frame contents

\setbeamertemplate{frame numbering}[fraction]
\setbeamercolor{progress bar}{fg=green,bg=blue}

\setbeamertemplate{section in toc}[sections numbered numeric]
\setbeamertemplate{subsection in toc}[bullets]
\begin{document}
        \author{Anshul Sharma}
    \title{Symmetry in Quantum Mechanics}
    \institute {CENTRAL UNIVERSITY OF HIMACHAL PRADESH}
    \begin{frame}[plain]
        \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture, overlay]
        \node[anchor=north east] at ($(current page.center)+(-2,-2)$){\includegraphics[width=0.3\linewidth, scale=0.1]{"CUHP LOGO"}};
        \end{tikzpicture}
        \maketitle
    \end{frame}
\begin{frame}
        \frametitle{Overview}
        \tableofcontents
    \end{frame}
\section{Symmetries in Classical Physics} % &lt;---- add sections in order to get them listed in the table of contents
\begin{frame}{\secname} % &lt;----- \secname here used the section's name as a frametitle
    \begin{itemize}
        \item Hi % Here i want that after any para any points or lines the text after it is transparent (not fully but)
        \item Bye
    \end{itemize}

\end{document}

And also how can we transparent two paragraphs like say

There are many processes in nature where symmetries are violated i.e. say for an example, symmetry often breaks when one goes beyond the level of nucleus i.e. studying physics of particles beyond their fundamental constituents, the Quarks. Some fundamental particles (i.e. $\beta$-particles) violates symmetry known as Parity violation for weak interaction. Also in case of Kaon particles it is seen that CP violation occurs, where to resolve the theory, we use the CPT Theorem.

Like the below paragraph I want for the reader, text to be transparent (or partially).

Continuous symmetry and Discrete symmetry. Continuous symmetry are comprised of Translational and Rotational symmetry, where as Discrete symmerty contains Parity, Time Reversal and Charge Conjugation symmetry

Does \begin{itemize}[<+->] instead of \begin{itemize}give you the desired result? — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 11:23
Yeah it worked well but can we make it a little bit transparent and also what about if i want to make transparent two paragraph or two mathematical equation, do i still use [<+->] this command. — Anshul Sharma, Jul 21 '20 at 11:37
I assume you want to show the following items as well but in a light gray text color. To do so, add \setbeamercovered{transparent} to the preamble. — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 12:14
If you want to reveal multiple items at a time, use the \pause command as in \begin{itemize} \item first item on first slide \item second item on first slide \pause \item item on second slide \end{itemize}. For more information on that, take a look at Chapter 9 Creating Overlays of the beamer manual. — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 12:16
Regarding: "place my name, institute and my university logo in better place": a better placement here is quite subjective. Could you please prepare a sketch that shows where exactly you would like to place which element on your title frame? — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 12:19
@leandriis I have rephrased my question would like if you go through again. — Anshul Sharma, Jul 21 '20 at 12:22
@leandriis Can you knidly run the code till the title page of mine. You would get what i mean to say. Like in title page space is too large between the title and above and also to make title big and \author and \institute name be in a better position in accordance with the university logo — Anshul Sharma, Jul 21 '20 at 12:24
\pause should wokr here: `\begin{frame}{Frame Title} There are many processes ... use the CPT Theorem \pause
Continuous symmetry ... Charge Conjugation symmetry \end{frame}` — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 12:25
I already took a look at your current titlepage and I understand the issue regarding the white space above the title. But "better position" is subjective. I don't understand where you want to place which element. I definitely think a sketch would make your question a lot clearer. — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 12:27
Is this the titlepage layout you are looking for? https://i.stack.imgur.com/3s5JC.png — leandriis, Jul 21 '20 at 12:32
Yes. Can the name of title be a lil big and the author name and institute name too.The logo is fine — Anshul Sharma, Jul 21 '20 at 12:47
@leandriis you mean first i should set \setbeamercovered{transparent} and the use \pause command after any paragraph to work. Will it make fully transparent or partially? — Anshul Sharma, Jul 21 '20 at 12:48

Here is my suggestion on how to change the layout of the titlepage in order to a) remove the large white space above the title, b) increase font sizes of title, author and institute and c) improve the placement of the logo. I have added some comments in the code about the changes I made in comparison to the original definition of the title page template from the metropolis theme.

I also included two short examples on how to use the \pause command. In combination with \setbeamercovered{transparent} which I added to the preamble, upcoming contents are shown in a light gray color:

\begin{frame}{Frame Title}

Here is a way to decrease teh space between title and green line without changing the absolute placement of the line and the elements below it:

\setbeamertemplate{title page}{
  \begin{minipage}[t][\paperheight]{\textwidth} % <---- changed from [b] to [t] alignment
%    \ifx\inserttitlegraphic\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{title graphic}\fi % <--- commented out and moved to the end
%    \vfill% % <---- commented out as not needed with top alignment
\vspace{0.45cm} % <--- move the title down by 0.45cm
    \ifx\inserttitle\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{title}\fi
    \ifx\insertsubtitle\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{subtitle}\fi
    \vspace{-0.45cm} % <---- remove 0.45 cm of white space between title and green line
    \usebeamertemplate*{title separator}
    \ifx\beamer@shortauthor\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{author}\fi
    \ifx\insertdate\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{date}\fi
    \ifx\insertinstitute\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{institute}\fi

    \ifx\inserttitlegraphic\@empty\else\usebeamertemplate*{title graphic}\fi % <---- added the titlegraphic here

In the code for title image, the positon of title page has shifted upwards. Is it due to \Large command or manually you have don as it has moved a little upwards – Anshul Sharma Jul 21 '20 at 14:10
1

The position of the logo changes in comparison to your original code since I used an entirely different method to insert it into the titlepage. Would you like to move it down again? – leandriis Jul 21 '20 at 14:17
I am Sorry for the comment. I meant the title of the slide sorry for wrong information. The title has shifted a little up. – Anshul Sharma Jul 21 '20 at 14:19

But istn't that exactly what you asked for in your question. I am a little bit confused now. "shifted up" in comparison to what? In comparison to your original code or in comparison to the image in posted in a previous comment? (https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/554437/title-page-alignment-and-transparenting-paragraph-and-lines-in-beamer/554466?noredirect=1#comment1399556_554437)? – leandriis Jul 21 '20 at 14:21
I am saying The title "Symmetry in Quantum Mechanics" is lifted a little up..... – Anshul Sharma Jul 21 '20 at 14:45

Lifted up in comparison to what? – leandriis Jul 21 '20 at 14:59
on the page i say. – Anshul Sharma Jul 21 '20 at 15:03
1

As far as I understood, that was exactly what you wanted or am I mistaken? As far as I understood your original question, you wanted to reduce the space above the title, which basically means moving it upwards within the frame? Did I already misunderstood this? – leandriis Jul 21 '20 at 15:06
You are absolutely right Sir, what i mean is can we manually set it as it looks a little bit more than above. Like if it can a little smaller of say 0.1 to 0.15cm – Anshul Sharma Jul 21 '20 at 15:10
1

Is this wat you want to achieve? https://i.stack.imgur.com/zVp8j.png Every element stays where it ist, just the title is placed a bit lower and closer to the green line. – leandriis Jul 21 '20 at 16:01
I know i am troubling you can it go like 0.5mm up more – Anshul Sharma Jul 21 '20 at 16:57

I have updated my answer. Hopefully the new version suits your needs. – leandriis Jul 21 '20 at 18:52
Does the pause command work for \begin{itemize} and then \item .... \pausa will work? Also will math mathematical equation like \begin{align}.....\pause \\ .....\pause too? – Anshul Sharma Jul 22 '20 at 01:31
Yes finally it worked as Desired.. thnq – Anshul Sharma Jul 22 '20 at 01:32

@AnshulSharma: Regarding the use of \pause inside ofitemize: Such an example is already included in my answer. Regarding the use of\pauseinside ogalign`, take a look at the answers to: Equation numbering problems in AMSMath environments with \pause – leandriis Jul 22 '20 at 06:50
Sir i have my presentation and having many problem like as i have many section my content area i.e table of content is not showing up fully. Here is the link of the question i have raised https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/554576/table-of-content-for-too-many-sections – Anshul Sharma Jul 22 '20 at 08:53
Sir how can i add department name and my supervisor name and my roll number in the title page – Anshul Sharma Jul 22 '20 at 13:23
1

Where exactly so you want to add the name of your supervisor, the department name and the enrolment number (I assume this is what "roll number" means)? Below your name, above the title, to the right side of the logo, in the same line as the date,.....? There are countless options. Please clarify by providing a sketch of the desired output. – leandriis Jul 22 '20 at 14:04
Sir please please please please i beg of you please help me out. I have lost everyhting my effort in making the presentation. it is giving me document class error. please sir please help me out please help me..tommorror is the dead line please sir. here is the link https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/554611/two-documentclass-or-documentstyle-commands-documentclass-error – Anshul Sharma Jul 22 '20 at 14:05
