The Beamer package enables LaTeX to produce high quality technical presentations and can be used in combination with the TikZ package for including publication-quality diagrams in presentations. However, formatting LaTeX presentations using Beamer and TikZ is difficult and time consuming, so I often reuse code snippets from previous presentations.

The following is my ongoing personal collection of snippets contained in the bamos/beamer-snippets repository on GitHub. This repository is MIT-licensed and can be cloned or forked to host your own snippets. I'm happy to add links to other collections here.

To use these, copy and paste the code from the base document to a new LaTeX document and compile it for a starting point. See here for a further introduction to LaTeX.
