LaTeX forum ⇒ General ⇒ Header and footer Topic is solved

[Jchen066]

Tried to use pictures for header and footer. please see below code used and the output:

The header picture doesn't covere the entire header area. Can I change the header height to match the picture or other way around.

Hi there,
you've put the header logo into an additional tabular environment.
There's nothing wrong with that as such, but according to the column declaration---the {c}---you want \tabcolsep space left (and right) of this column.
Try {@{}c@{}} instead (the @{} cuts off the additional space, here on both sides of the c column).

Thanks Rainer. Indeed, it removed the space from both left and right side.

Is there a way to align the logo (the blue golden line) to the header line (dark line)

Well, you could put the image in a \raisebox and let it tell LaTeX, its contents has neither height nor depth.
However, your header image will then most likely overwrite the stuff from the left side; looks like you've already considered that and used a transparent background (otherwise, `year 11' wouldn't have been visible). So for those using a header file without transparency, I'd put the header image into a \makebox in the left header part already, where I can tell LaTeX to overwrite this box:

Code: [Select all] [Expand/Collapse] [Download] ({untitled.tex}) Open in Overleaf

\fancyhead[L]{%
  \makebox[0pt][l]{%
    \raisebox{-8mm}[0pt][0pt]{%
      \includegraphics[height=3.5cm, width=22cm]{header}%
    }%
  }%
  \large \bfseries \sffamily 
  \begin{tabular}{c}
    Year 11 \\ Mathematics \\ Extension 1
  \end{tabular}%
}

Or, you could use the eso-pic package for putting the header image in the background at top of the page (you're already loading it).
