Quickstart

To use this package load it in a document using beamer and select a layout:

Minimal example:

\usepackage{handoutWithNotes}

Currently the following layouts are implemented by this package:

Additionally we support the following package options:

slide-frame=true/false draw a frame around the slides
note-frame=true/false draw a frame around the note pages
beamer-notes=true/false use beamer notepages instead of the area for handwritten notes
lines=<Number> modify the number of lines in the notesbox (default is 8)

Additionally the pgfpages options can be used. for more detailed information use the pdf documentation.
