Checking out a couple other tutorials wouldn't hurt either.

sudo apt install imagemagick

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
cd ..

From repository root:

. ./simslides.sh

You can generate your own presentation as follows:

1. On the top menu, choose Simslides -> Import PDF (or press F2)

2. Choose a PDF file from your computer

3. Choose the folder to save the generated models at

4. Choose a prefix for your model names, they will be named "prefix-0", "prefix-1", ...

5. Click Generate. A model will be created for each page of your PDF. This may take a while, the screen goes black... But it works in the end. Sometimes it looks like not all pages of the PDF become models... That's an open issue.

6. When it's done, all slides will show up on the world in a grid.

If you already generated slide models with the step above, and now just want to spawn them into the world:

1. On the top menu, choose Simslides -> Load Models (or press F3)

2. Choose the path of the directory which includes all the slides

3. Type in the model name prefix

4. Load

5. When it's done, all slides will show up on the world in a grid.

Once you have the slides loaded into the world, present as follows:

1. Press F5 or the play button on the top left to start presentation mode

2. Press the arrow keys to go back and forth on the slides

3. You're free to use the rest of Gazebo's interface while presenting, if you've navigated far away from the current slide, you can press F1 to return to it.

4. At any moment, you can press F6 to return to the initial camera pose.
