Pyntor - Python presentation program
====================================
http://pyntor.coolprojects.org/

Description
-----------
Pyntor is a simple pygame-based slide show program, which uses
dynamically loaded modules (components) in order to create a decent
presentation.

Only python and pygame are needed. However some components might require
additional libraries, like smpeg for embedding video or rsvg for svg images.
Have a look at components.txt for an in-depth components description.

Please read documentation.txt for advanced usage information; this README
file will only give general information and some feature advertising...

General Features are
--------------------
- really fast start (try './pyntor'), will read 'script' as default script
- comes with several components (documented in components.txt)
  * Pyntor::Slides: slide show
  * Pyntor::Flags: displays flags (or other images) in a loop
  * Pyntor::Pyromaniac: HTML browser (not good, but sometimes usable)
  * Pyntor::Video: run a video either fullscreen or within a slideshow
  * Pyntor::Blend: Blend effects (e.g. for intros)
  * ... and more!
- run in window ('./pyntor -w'); default mode is fullscreen
- presentations can be turned into self-extracting python scripts!

Note: the demo presentation included in Pyntor is rather bad. For some
better slides, have a look at:

Future development
------------------
Some extensions like being able to mark some text with a visual marker are
already work in progress. More fine-grained control should be possible.

About the name
--------------
Pyntor is a word play on Pintor, which is Portuguese/Spanish for painter.
