Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ (HOW TO) Built text box in title page..in .sty file

[yan]

I need a title page which is contain a text box.....from .sty
I have try the \begin{tabular} but it cant work for me.

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\maketitle}{
\null
\vfill
\thispagestyle{empty}
\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}{|p{4.7cm}|}{|c|}
\hline
{\rmfamily\large\bf\@title\\}
by\\
{\rmfamily\large\bf\@author}\\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{center}
\cleardoublepage
\vfill
\null
}

This the style i want:

You could use a combination of \framebox and \parbox... something like:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\author{LAM ZHENG YAN}
\title{ANALYSIS and CLASSIFICATION OF EEG SIGNALS using a NEURAL NETWORK}
 \makeatletter
 \renewcommand{\maketitle}{
 \null
 \vfill
 \thispagestyle{empty}
 \begin{center}
 
 \framebox{\parbox{4in}{%
    \centering%
    \textrm{\textbf{\large \@title}}\\
    by\\
    \textrm{\textbf{\large \@author}}\\
 }} 

 \end{center}
 \cleardoublepage
 \vfill
 \null
 }
 \makeatother
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

Did you really mean those \vfill commands, though? Those will push the boxes to the bottom of the page.

Thks frabjous,

this is the thing i want.
Ya, \vfill will push it to the bottom of the page. mayb i will change to \vspace or something....depends on the report format needed.
Thks again~
