Re: [O] Placement of \makeatletter with address@hidden

Hi Loris,

I don't know beamer enough to propose an elegant solution. Nonetheless I
have ideas what might go wrong here.

First, \let copies the at-the-moment-of-definition version of
address@hidden to \mytextheight. This happens in the preamble.

I expect beamer to set up things like frame height at the begin of the
document (exactly the \begin{document} line), not earlier. Thus at the
point of that \let, that length isn't what you want yet.

Solution to this:
#+begin_export latex
\makeatletter...
#+end_export

Second, \let creates a macro whereas it then is used as a length for the
figure. I doubt that is possible.

If that's the reason, you might try

#+begin_export latex
\newlength\mytextheight
\makeatletter
address@hidden
\makeatother
#+end_export

Perhaps this gives you a starting point to further play with it.

HTH,
Julius
