Figure at absolute bottom of page

Post by BtheK »

Hi all!

I'm making a custom title page and I want to place a figure (which is also spanning the entire witdh of the page) at the absolute bottom of the page. I tried using \vfill or \vspace but this does not work. Suggestions anybody?

Cheers, Bill

If you want it to be at the very bottom of the physical page then you will have to remove any bottom margin and footer. \vfill will only put it as low as possible within the margins defined.

Off the top of my head I'm not exactly sure how to remove the margin/footer for a single page, otherwise I would post an example piece of code.

Thanks all for the answers. What I have done to solve the problem:
  • define the pagestyle as titlepage
  • use the eso-pic package
