I am using Beamer to prepare a presentation. In some slide I need to print a great deal of verbatim text and, also, I need to draw some red rectangles on top of it.

What would be the most straightforward way to do it? I'm struggling with fancyvrb and also with tikz.

\documentclass[pdf]{beamer}
\usepackage{semiverbatim}

\begin{document}

\newsavebox\myv
\begin{frame}[fragile]
\frametitle{IAEA phase-space file format}
\begin{lrbox}{\myv}\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
\begin{semiverbatim}

This is how I'd like the image to show up (notice the red rectangles):

  • I upvoted both answers. I accepted the first one because even though it seems a bit more complex at first sight, it doesn't require to enter the coordinates of the bounding boxes. – stathisk May 16 '14 at 20:35

Here's one possibility:

\documentclass[pdf]{beamer}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{tikzmark}

\lstset{
  basicstyle=\ttfamily\small,
  columns=fullflexible,
  escapeinside={/@}{@/}
}

\newcommand\DrawBox[2]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\draw[red] 
  ([yshift=1.7ex,xshift=-2pt]pic cs:#1) rectangle ([yshift=-.25ex,xshift=2pt]pic cs:#2);
\end{tikzpicture}%
}
\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[fragile,shrink=15]

\DrawBox{starta}{enda}
\DrawBox{startb}{endb}
\DrawBox{startc}{endc}

The idea is to switch to the listings package, since it gives the possibility to escape to LaTeX and then use the tikzmark library to place some marks at appropriate locations; those marks are then used to draw the frames using a simple \DrawBox command; the two arguments for the command are for the begin and end marks for each box.

The code needs two or three runs to stabilize.

Here I use the verbatimbox package to set the verbatim content in a box in \scriptsize to fit on the page. Then I use 3 nested \stackinsets to place the red rectangles over it.
