Background Image on first Page

Post by EigenGoofy »

I mean that without writing any LaTeX code in the ERT Box, how to add a image file as background on the cover page in my document. Thank you!

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Try this!

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[firstpage]{draftwatermark}
\SetWatermarkLightness{0.9}
\SetWatermarkText{\includegraphics[angle=-45]{myimage}

Thank you very much!

Actually, I put the following code in the preamble. And it seems also works.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{watermark}
\thiswatermark{\centering \put(112,-550){\includegraphics[scale=0.9]{my_image.png}} }
