General ⇒ How to make a header with a predetermined image?

[fabioonier]

Hi, everybody.

I'm writing a book in LaTeX and I need to do the headers with the publisher's stye. That styles uses an image in every header but with two different texts: the even pages contain the title of the book and the odd pages contain the title of the chapter. It's something like this

And this is what I have for now.

How can I make the headers with an predertmined image but with different texts depending on the chapter?

This is a MWE of my book.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[letterpaper,reqno]{book}
\listfiles
\usepackage{makeidx}
\usepackage[spanish,es-nosectiondot]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{infwarerr}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{verbatim} 
\usepackage[text={168mm,240mm},centering]{geometry}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath,amsthm}
\usepackage{epsfig,graphicx,psfrag,float}
\usepackage{ltxcmds}
\usepackage[pdf]{pstricks}
\usepackage{pstricks-add,pst-math,pst-xkey,pst-pdf,auto-pst-pdf}
\usepackage[all]{xy}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\makeindex

\renewcommand{\cftchappresnum}{Capítulo }
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnum}{}
\renewcommand{\cftchapaftersnumb}{\\ }
\renewcommand{\cftchapnumwidth}{0mm}

\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{Algebra}{\chaptername\ \thechapter.\ #1}}

\begin{document}

\pagenumbering{roman}

\tableofcontents
\pagenumbering{arabic}
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{Prefacio}

\include{EnsayoPrefacio}
\include{Ensayos}
\include{Index}
\printindex

\end{document}

Thanks for your help.

Do you have those images?
Then you could put it into a \makebox[0pt][l]{\includegraphics{...}} construct, the following text will overwrite it.
Or do you want to recreate those images? Should be possible with pstricks...

However, fancyhdr, that you're already loading as well, might come in handy to restyle your header's layout.

This is a MWE of my book.

No, it's not. A real MWE doesn't include files no one but yourself has. Nor does it use packages that are not related to the issue at hand.

Hello, rais.

I have the gray box (as a PNG image) where the text of the header is written on. I need to place that box (image) and then to write the headers: the title of the book in even pages and the title of the each chapter in the odd pages.

I'm going to search about the \makebox command.

Thanks for your help.

In that case you can try to adapt this:

Code: Select all

\listfiles % the usual place for \listfiles is here: above \documentclass. Easier to cleanup after troubleshooting all the issues, IMHO.
\documentclass[letterpaper,reqno]{book}
\usepackage[spanish,es-nosectiondot]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[text={168mm,240mm},centering]{geometry}
\usepackage{%epsfig,<-- do you really need that?
  graphicx%,psfrag,float
}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[RE]{Algebra}
\fancyhead[LE]{\makebox[0pt][l]{%
  \hspace{-4em}\raisebox{-1ex}{\includegraphics[height=4ex]{foo-p1}}%
  }\thepage}
\fancyhead[RO]{\makebox[0pt][l]{%
  \hspace{-0.5em}\raisebox{-1ex}{\includegraphics[height=4ex]{foo-p1}}%
  }\thepage}
\fancyhead[LO]{\makebox[0pt][l]{%
  \hspace{-4em}\raisebox{-1ex}{\includegraphics[height=4ex]{foo-p2}}%
  }\leftmark}
\renewcommand*\headrulewidth{0pt}
\renewcommand*\footrulewidth{0pt}
\begin{document}
  \Blinddocument
  \Blinddocument
\end{document}

Replace foo-p1 with the shorter image and foo-p2 with the longer one (assuming there are two image files)

I did what you suggested and after several changes... it worked!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your help.

I guess that this topic is solved.
