I would like to change a parameter depending on the option in Beamer class. If [handout] is set, I want to show graphics smaller. To do this, I was creating a boolean \ifhandoutand was trying to redefine another variable \Skalierung depending whether \ifhandout is True or False. It doesn't work. Any idea why the if-statement doesn't work?
Thank you very much,
Markus
\documentclass[handout]{beamer}
\makeatletter
\newif\ifhandout
\@ifclasswith{beamer}{handout}{\handouttrue}{\handoutfalse}
\makeatother
\newcommand{\Skalierung}{1.0}
\begin{document}
\ifhandout{Handout} % This works
\else{Presentation}
\fi
\ifhandout{\renewcommand{\Skalierung}{0.3}} % This doesn't work
\else{\renewcommand{\Skalierung}{0.7}}}
\fi
\Skalierung % Skalierung is always 1
\end{document}
