Bipartite theme

This theme is inspired by Modern Annual Report. and a bit more opinionated. It features a dominant partition of space into a bright and a dark side and is rather on the "artsy" than functional side.

Use it via

#import "@preview/polylux:0.3.1": *
#import themes.bipartite: *

#show: bipartite-theme.with(...)

The bipartite theme cannot display content that exceeds one page, in general. Note that, against the convention, bipartite offers no #slide function. Use either #west-slide or #east-slide for regular content. Also, this theme features no sections or slide numbers.

Options for initialisation

bipartite-theme accepts the following optional keyword arguments:

• aspect-ratio: the aspect ratio of the slides, either "16-9" or "4-3", default is "16-9"

Slide functions

bipartite provides the following custom slide functions:

#title-slide(...)

Displays presentation title on a large bright portion above the subtitle, the author and the date. If a date was given, separates it from the author by a central dot. Accepts the following keyword arguments:

• title: title of the presentation, default: []
• subtitle: subtitle of the presentation, default: none
• author: author of presentation, arbitrary content, default: []
• date: date of the presentation, default: none

Does not accept additional content.

#west-slide(title: ...)[
  ...
]

Splits the slide into a larger bright section on the right where the content goes and a smaller, darker, left section where the title is displayed. Everything is left aligned.

#east-slide(title: ...)[
  ...
]

Same as #west-slide but with the title and the content switching places, and everything being right aligned.

#split-slide[
  ...
][
  ...
]

Splits the slide into two equal sections on the left and the right that both contain content (#split-slide requires exactly two content blocks to be passed). The left half is dark text on a bright background and right aligned, the right half is bright text on dark background and left aligned. Does not display a slide title.
