Page Layout ⇒ textpos does not place text over pictures

[sk]

Hi,

I was looking for a way to place text over pictures and I have found the package textpos. The problem is that when I tried to place some text over an image, it does not work as expected. Here it is an small example:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[top=2cm, bottom=4cm, left=3cm, right=3cm]{geometry} 
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage[absolute,showboxes]{textpos}

\begin{document}
\begin{titlepage}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{img/logoEolicos.PNG}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[!h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.7]{img/degradado.PNG}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{textblock}{4}(3,3)
\begin{center}
\Huge{Example}\\
\vspace*{0.4 in}
\large{sk} \\
\vspace*{0.4 in}
\today
\end{center}
\end{textblock}
\end{titlepage}
\clearpage
\end{document}

I also attach the code and the pdf so you can see the behaviour by yourselves.

Hi,

use the overlay option for textpos:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[absolute,showboxes,overlay]{textpos}

Just use the overpic package. Via Forum Search you will obtain examples of use.

Thank you all for the quick answer. The overlay option for textpos worked great, just as I expected. I will try as well the overpic package.
