This is not good news for the author who has, from whatever +source, a requirement that certain things go in exactly the right +place on the page. +<p/>There <em>are</em> places on the page, from which things may be hung, +and two LaTeX packages allow you position things relative to such +points, thus providing a means of absolute positioning. +<p/>The <i>textpos</i> package aids the construction of pages from +“blobs”, dotted around over the page (as in a poster); you give it +the location, and it places your typeset box accordingly. +<p/>The <i>eso-pic</i> defines a “shipout picture” that covers the +page. The user may add <code>picture</code>-mode commands to this +picture, which of course can include box placements as well as the +other rather stilted commands of <code>picture</code>-mode. +(<i>Eso-pic</i> requires the services of <i>everyshi</i>, which +must therefore also be available.) + + + + + + +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>eso-pic.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eso-pic.zip">macros/latex/contrib/eso-pic</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eso-pic.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/eso-pic/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>everyshi.sty</i></tt><dd>Distributed as part of <a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ms.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ms</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ms.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ms/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>textpos.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/textpos.zip">macros/latex/contrib/textpos</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/textpos.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/textpos/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p/><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=abspos">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=abspos</a> +</body> |
