Re: Setting Beamer aspect ratio / screen size

How do I set the Beamer aspect ratio / screen size?

RTFM: <Ctrl><F><"aspectratio"><Enter>

In my old version it's chapter 8.3

The defined ratios are:  aspectratio=54, %1610,169,149,54,_43,32

The papersizes for beamer are defined in mm. This results in lots of
rescaling. For that reason I have the following in my private style file
always loaded last:

---------------------------------------------------------------
\ifFAB@aspect%
  \ifdim\beamer@paperwidth=16.00cm%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperwidth}{6.4in}%
    \ifdim\beamer@paperheight=10.00cm%
      \setlength{\beamer@paperheight}{4in}%
    \else\ifdim\beamer@paperheight=9.00cm%
      \setlength{\beamer@paperheight}{3.6in}%
    \fi\fi%
  \else\ifdim\beamer@paperwidth=14.00cm%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperwidth}{5.6in}%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperheight}{3.6in}%
  \else\ifdim\beamer@paperwidth=13.50cm%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperwidth}{5.4in}%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperheight}{3.6in}%
  \else\ifdim\beamer@paperwidth=12.80cm%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperwidth}{5.12in}%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperheight}{3.84in}%
  \else\ifdim\beamer@paperwidth=12.50cm%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperwidth}{5.6in}%
    \setlength{\beamer@paperheight}{4.48in}%
  \fi\fi\fi\fi\fi
  \geometry{papersize={\beamer@paperwidth,\beamer@paperheight}}
\fi}

All frame sizes now have round numbers in inches and with common
projector resolutions come out as 200 dpi. I believe this helps show
better images.
