19.5.34 cut

This element describes the cut slide transition effect, which simply replaces the previous slide with the new slide instantaneously. No animation is used, but an option exists to cut to a black screen before showing the new slide. The rendering of this transition depends upon the attributes specified which have been shown below.

[Example: Consider the following cases in which the “cut” slide transition is applied to a slide, along with a set of attributes. The proper usage and sample renderings are shown below, with the XML fragments preceding the corresponding rendering:

<p:transition>
  <p:cut thruBlk="0"/>
</p:transition>
<p:transition>
  <p:cut thruBlk="1"/>
</p:transition>

end example]

[Note: Any rendering shown above is for example purposes only. Exact rendering of any transition is determined by the rendering application. As such, the same transition can have many variations depending on the implementation. end note]

Attributes

thruBlk (Transition Through Black)

This attribute specifies if the transition starts from a black screen (and then transition the new slide over black).

The possible values for this attribute are defined by the W3C XML Schema boolean datatype.
