beamer and changing font size for example environment

beamer and changing font size for example environment

[Manfred Lotz]

Maybe a stupid question. 

How could I change font size (in my case to smaller) for an example
environment in org-mode? Needed in export to Beamer pdf.

Thanks,

Not sure what exactly you are asking but IIUC maybe something along
these lines will work for you:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+latex: {\footnotesize

  org stuff here

#+latex: }
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Choose the font size you want.

You can also /shrink/ individual frames in beamer.

Thanks, that is what I was looking for.

Please note that "can" does *not* imply "should".

Indeed but it's nice to know that it is possible for those cases where
it can be quite useful.  

In my case, it's often when I'm presenting the solution to a
mathematical problem in a class and the whole solution is one line too
long to fit on a single slide.  I use very large text by default (bigger
option in beamer) so a temporary shrink is not horrendous!

For the record, and to have this post be somewhat on-topic, shrinking a
single slide is achieved by adding a BEAMER option property to the
frame's headline:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  * The frame title
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_opt: shrink=10
    :END:
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
