## What it is
Beamer is a LaTeX document class for creating on-screen presentations and slides, including handouts and speaker notes. It uses a frame environment with action notation for slide overlays and a template system for controlling visual appearance.

## Use cases
- create academic conference presentations in LaTeX
- generate slides with incremental reveals from one source
- produce handouts and speaker notes alongside slides
- apply consistent themes to presentation decks
- build complex slide sequences with overlays

## When to choose
- you already write in LaTeX and want version-controlled presentations
- you need math-heavy or academic slides with consistent typesetting
- you want themeable decks without manual layout work

## When to avoid
- you need WYSIWYG slide editing
- your deck is image-heavy with freeform layouts
- your team does not know LaTeX

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: templating, documentation
