Hello

I use the textpos package thanks to some recommendations I read in this forum .
Unfortunatelly I can't flushleft or right when I put a box in a specific location .


I would like to create something like this when I use both textpos and flushright for example:

Code: Select all

                            Placing a text wherever I want to
                                              but flushtright
                                              
          Or writing overthere
          butflushleft 

Do you experts have a clue ? thanks

It could be helpful to see your recent efforts presented in a minimal example (emphasize on "minimal").

I think I found a way to proceed but I'm not totally happy with this workaround.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[absolute,quiet,overlay]{textpos}
\usepackage{rotating}
%\setlength{\fboxrule}{ 0 pt} % ERROR WHEN UNCOMMENTED
\begin{document} 
\textblockorigin{ 0.2 cm}{ 0.2 cm }
\TPboxrulesize = .1 mm
\TPshowboxesfalse
\TPVertModule = 1 mm
\setlength{\TPHorizModule}{\TPVertModule }
\unitlength = \TPVertModule

\begin{textblock}{56}(15,10) 
\begin{rotate}{-20}
\begin{picture}(56,10)

\framebox(56,20)[r]{textggfdgfd gfegtregter}
\end{picture}

\end{rotate}
\end{textblock}
\end{document}

Code: Select all

1. I have to put a picture environment to flush text right or left . Is there another way to make this ? My only concern is to render document the fastest way possible.
2. I'd like frameboxes to be invisible but when I uncomment it , I have an error :

   Code: Select all

    Missing number, treated as zero.

   ?

I think an upgrade of your TeX distribution is indicated (even mine is not up to date).
