Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Multiple images in a footer?

[focused energy]

Good Day,

I am trying to place two rows of images in a footer. I am using the fancyhdr package but I'm new to LaTeX and I don't quite know how to place multiple images in the footer and/or perhaps create an array within the footer.

Below is the fancyhdr code I have in my sty file. I have a series of images I want in the footer (university logos and a stretched design bar similar to the header image). The first row of the footer would have the logos of the universities and then the second row would have a single image.

Code: Select all

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0 in}
\setlength{\topmargin}{0pt}
\setlength{\textwidth}{6.5in}
\setlength{\marginparsep}{0in}
\setlength{\marginparwidth}{0in}
\setlength{\marginparpush}{0pt}
\setlength{\hoffset}{0pt}
\setlength{\voffset}{-1in}

\setlength{\headheight}{.75in}
\setlength{\headsep}{25pt}
\setlength{\footskip}{.75in}

\setlength{\textheight}{11in}
\advance\textheight by-\headheight
\advance\textheight by-\headsep
\advance\textheight by-\footskip

\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyhfoffset{1in}

\lhead{\includegraphics[height=\headheight,width=8.5in]{header.eps}}
\chead{}
\rhead{}
\lfoot{}
\lfoot{\includegraphics[height=\footskip,width=8.5in]{footer.eps}}
\cfoot{}
\rfoot{}

\pagestyle{fancy}

I would now like to have a row of logos just above the footer.eps. Is this possible? Or will I need to modify the footer.eps in gimp or photoshop and actually add the logos to a single eps file? Ideally I won't have to do that.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

why not simply using something like the following?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}% jus to generate filler text for the example
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\vspace*{1pt} % adds a little vertical space
  \rule{3cm}{2cm}\hfill\rule{3cm}{2cm}\hfill\rule{3cm}{2cm}\\[4mm]% first row of evenly spaced images
  \hfil\rule{.6\linewidth}{0.5cm}\hfil% second row (a centered image)
}
\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-30]

\end{document}

I used black rectangles to simulate actual images, but you can use (after loading the graphicx package in the preamble, of course) the standard \includegraphics command.

This is not related to the problem, but it is strongly recommended to use the geometry package for setting up page and paper dimensions. Lengths like \hoffset and \voffset should never be modified unless you have a hardware problem with your printer.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hello gmedina, thank you very much for helping out and providing some code. At what point would I place \includegraphics in what you wrote?

Thorsten, I will definitely provide accolades for gmedina and submit this as formal solution to my query.

Kind Regards.

...At what point would I place \includegraphics in what you wrote?..

Instead of the \rule commands. For example, assuming the graphic files are logo1.eps, logo2.eps, logo3.eps and footer.eps, you could do something like the following:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{lipsum}% jus to generate filler text for the example
\pagestyle{fancy}

\fancyhf{}
\fancyfoot[C]{\vspace*{1pt} % adds a little vertical space
  \includegraphics[width=3cm]{logo1}\hfill\includegraphics[width=3cm]{logo2}\hfill\includegraphics[width=3cm]{logo3}\\[4mm]% first row of evenly spaced images
  \hfil\includegraphics[width=7cm]{footer}\hfil% second row (a centered image)
}
\begin{document}

\lipsum[1-30]

\end{document}

Of course, use the options for the \includegraphics command that best suit your needs and modify my example according to your needs.

Thank you very very much.
