a0poster - how to position figures and text

Post by nina »

Dear all,

Please excuse my errors because I am new to this forum and struggling badly. Please could you help me to position figures within boxed areas, so that I can design an a0 poster? I need to be able to put captions under the figures and keep the regions of text in the right place and I am not able to see how to do this anywhere. I am not conerned about frames of boxes, but I would like to be able to write in a kind of textbox, preferably with a coloured background, to separate the regions of text.

Please find attached my image files which I have included in the a0poster, the code for which I have copied in below. I would like to be able to put a few boxes around but I don't k=mind images floating within, say, a pink region. I have tried to use wrapfigures, so that I could write about each figure. When I tried this, everything stretched into the wrong place and overlapped. I would be most grateful for your help, please. I have really spent a long time trying to use LaTeX for this and I am really not getting anywhere.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a0]{a0poster}
\usepackage[absolute, overlay]{textpos}
\usepackage{amsfonts, amsmath}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{xcolor}
%\usepackage{floatfig,epsfig}
\usepackage{tcolorbox}
\graphicspath{ {LiteratureReview/}}
\TPGrid[10mm, 10mm]{48}{24}
\TPMargin{12.5mm}
\parindent=0pt

\definecolor{Lilac}{cmyk}{0.09,0.12,0,0}
\definecolor{PalePink}{cmyk}{0,0.1,0,0}

a0poster - how to position figures and text

Welcome and sorry for the late reply. You can always use the pictures from the nwe package. We don't Need to see your actual Images.

I cannot test your example right now, but i guess using figure Environments isn't really the way to go- wrapfigure never seems to be a good idea.
Maybe it is because i couldn't test, but i don't really understand the current problem. Did you get anywhere in the meantime?
The smart way: Calm down and take a deep breath, read posts and provided links attentively, try to understand and ask if necessary.
