The diagrams created could be used in a simple document or in a presentation: in the latter case, while using the Beamer class, the user could decide if diagrams should be overlay-awared or not.  \nAutomatically, the smartdiagram package loads:  \n􀀏 TikZ;  \n􀀏 etoolbox;  \n􀀏 xparse;  \n􀀏 xstring (from version 0.2) .  \nMoreover, the package loads the following TikZ libraries:  \n􀀏 backgrounds;  \n􀀏 calc;  \n􀀏 fadings;  \n􀀏 shadows;  \n􀀏 shapes .arrows ;  \n􀀏 shapes.symbols (from version 0.2) .  \nand it sets a new layer called smart diagram arrow back. From version 0.3, the package is composed of three core libraries:  \n􀀏 core.definitions,  \n􀀏 core .styles,  \n􀀏 core.commands  \nwhich actually form the package smartdiagram.sty and of the external library:  \n􀀏 additions  \nwhich can be loaded separately by the user. By loading this library:\\usesmartdiagramlibrary{additions}  \nforces the TikZ library positioning to be loaded as well.  \nThe package could be loaded by means of \\usepackage{smartdiagram} .  \n2 Basic Usage  \n\\smartdiagram The basic command is \\smartdiagram[htype of diagrami]{hlist of itemsi} . The {hlist of itemsi} should be comma-delimited: to insert, for example, a comma as part of the item label use \\smartdiagram[ . .]{elem1,{elem2,text},elem3} .  \nThe possible diagrams that could be created are:  \n􀀏 circular diagram: the items in the list are diplayed around a circle typically in counterclockwise order;  \n􀀏 circular diagram:clockwise: same as before, but now items are placed in clockwise order (no space between names and :);  \n􀀏 flow diagram: the items in the list are diplayed as a flow chart;  \n􀀏 flow diagram:horizontal: the items in the list are diplayed as an horizontal flow chart (no space between names and :);  \n􀀏 descriptive diagram: a diagram in which are displayed concepts and their description;  \n􀀏 priority descriptive diagram: a diagram in which the items are deployted based on their relevance;  \n􀀏 bubble diagram: each item is a bubble deployted around a bubble center, which is the first element in the list;  \n􀀏 constellation diagram: each item is a circle connected to the center, the first element in the list again;  \n􀀏 connected constellation diagram: each item is a circle and, a part from the first element in the list, the other ones are connected toghether;  \n􀀏 sequence diagram:","cbCaikdbfbr0sibB","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikdbfbr0sibB","pdf",267814,47,"English","# Introduction and requirements\n# Basic Usage\n# Additions\n# The options\n## Setting the options\n## Available options\n## General options\n## Specific options\n## Options of the additions library\n# Gallery of examples\n# Recommendations and known issues\n## Something about colors\n## Defining styles\n## Circular, bubble and constellation diagrams\n## Descriptive diagrams\n## Decorations\n## Priority descriptive diagrams\n# Acknowledgements\n# Implementation\n## Initialization and Package Options\n## Keys and color declaration\n## Commands\n## Library Additions","[{\"question\":\"What does the smartdiagram package generate from an item list?\",\"answer\":\"It generates diagrams from a comma-delimited list of items, producing different diagram layouts such as circular, flow, descriptive, priority descriptive, bubble, constellation, connected constellation, and sequence diagrams.\"},{\"question\":\"How does animation work in presentations with beamer?\",\"answer\":\"For persistent display, the diagram is created using \\\\\\\\smartdiagram.
