shrinking contents on one slide in beamer export

shrinking contents on one slide in beamer export

[Neil Hepburn]

Greetings,
I am trying to produce a Beamer slide presentation from org-mode. I have a slide that has some output from R in a src_block. The problem is that the material that I want to present (coefficients from a regression) is just a bit too wide for the page. If I were writing this in native LaTeX, I could do something like
\begin{frame}[shrink=5]\frametitle{some stuff}
contents here
\end{frame}

How do I pass the shrink argument to latex from org-mode?

Cheers,
Neil

I haven't used it but the org info node Beamer class[fn:1] export might
help, look for BEAMER_extra.

Putting [shrink=5] in your BEAMER_envargs property will do it, as in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
*** Example slide
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_envargs: [shrink=5]
    :END:

- one point
- another
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
