AxPoint is a Perl module that uses the PDFLib module and the pdflib library to generate PDF based presentations from XML data sources. It has the following features: - Ability to create slideshows with your choice of background image - Slideshows break down into slidesets, or not at your choice. - Slides can show bullet points, source code (fixed font), or images. - Slides can have transition effects (dissolve, box, wipe, etc) - All elements of a slide can transition in too. - Text on slides supports bold, italics, and colours. Colours can be any one of the 16 HTML colours, or defined as hex RGB values. - Output uses the standard XML::SAX::Writer consumer classes, allowing you to output direct to a file, or to a string, or however you need to. Very useful for dynamic web based presentations. - PDF bookmarks allow direct navigation to any slide. - Using PDF allows you to go "Full Screen", even on Linux - Image formats supported include GIF, JPEG, PNG and TIFF
