Rectangle at a certain position on page or table in margin

Post by Knuffi »

Is there a way to get a rectangle at a certain position (x_0, y_0) and with certain width and height (x,y) on a page?

An alternative would be to get a table into the left or right margin.

Background: I want to alter the look of an exam like that:

Thanks, having read the docs and tried with them a while, I decided, that the "normal" exam style is quite satisfying. ;)

Thanks nevertheless.
