Hi.
I'm trying to do a slide that contains a Venn diagram and some
commentary. I found Til's Venn diagram example at
http://www.texample.net/tikz/examples/venn-diagram
and I'm trying to somewhat blindly modify same.
Here's the code for such a page:
<snip>
\doocumentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{shapes,backgrounds}
\usepackage{comment}
\begin{document}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Constructing $C$}
\begin{center}
\begin{tikzpicture}
\newcommand\circleA{(0,0) circle (1.5cm)}
\newcommand\circleB{(2cm,0) circle (1.5cm)}
\begin{scope}[even odd rule]% first circle without the second
\clip \circleB (-2,-2) rectangle (2,2);
\fill[yellow] \circleA;
\end{scope}
\begin{scope}[even odd rule]% second circle without the first
\clip \circleA (-2,-2) rectangle (4,4);
\fill[yellow] \circleB;
\end{scope}
\draw \circleA node {$L(A)$};
\draw \circleB node {$L(B)$};
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{center}
\[L(C) =
\big(L(A)\cap\overline{L(B)}\big) \cup \big(L(B)\cap\overline{L(A)}
\big).\]
\begin{itemize}
\item We used proofs by construction to show that regular
languages are closed under union, intersection, and complement.
\item We can use those constructions to construct a~FA that
accepts~$L(C)$.
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
</snip>
Unfortunately, the diagram starts way too low on the page. As a
result, the last two lines of text don't appear on the slide.
Any ideas on how to fix? Thanks.
