Rounded boxes with text inside in beamer

Question

I want to have several texts in latex which are boxed in a circle or more in a rounded box. I tried to use:

\pgfnodecircle{Node1}[stroke]{\pgfxy(1,1)}{0.5cm}
\pgfnodecircle{Node2}[strokel]{\pgfxy(3,0.5)}{0.25cm}
\pgfnodecircle{Node3}[fill]{\pgfxy(5,1)}{0.25cm}  
\pgfnodeconnline{Node1}{Node2}  
\pgfnodeconnline{Node2}{Node3}

but this \pgfnodecircle command does not allow me to write text inside the nodecircle. I could have added text with \pgfnodebox but I really want the text to be surrounded by rounded boxes and not by rectangular boxes.

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about LaTeX — Flexo, Jul 07 '13 at 20:25

maybe you want the block environments: block, theorem, proof, and example? You can then find a Beamer style to make them rounded.

\begin{block}{Block title}
text here
\end{block}

Exactly what I was looking for via google :-) I forgot the name of the command. – Konrad Höffner Mar 14 '13 at 14:20

The commands \ovalbox and \Ovalbox defined package fancybox might help:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancybox}
\begin{document}
  \ovalbox{hello}
  \Ovalbox{world}
  bye
  \doublebox{important}
\end{document}

Please have a look at the documentation of the fancybox package for more details.

Other interesting commands: \boxed defined in the amsmath package and \shabox defined in the shadow package.

Try this:

\setbeamercolor{uppercolgreen}{fg=white,bg=green!35}
\setbeamercolor{lowercolgreen}{fg=black,bg=green!10}
...
\begin{beamerboxesrounded}[upper=uppercolgreen,lower=lowercolgreen,shadow=true]
{Definition - What is A:} 
$A:= 2 + 5$.
\end{beamerboxesrounded}
