Page Layout ⇒ Image next to Chapter Heading

[thomas1981]

Hello,

When typesetting a new chapter in the "book" document class with the command \chapter{Introduction}, I get the following output

Chapter X
Introduction

What I want to obtain is the following:

## Chapter X
## Introduction

where the dash marks represent some space where I would like to place a picture, for example with the \includegraphics command.

Can someone explain me how to do that without altering the default style of chapter (just to move it a bit on the right in order to place the image)?

Thanks

Could be done by the titlesec package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[explicit,raggedright]{titlesec}

\newlength{\picsep}   % Separation between picture and heading
\setlength{\picsep}{0.05\textwidth}
\newlength{\picwidth}   % Width of the picture
\setlength{\picwidth}{0.2\textwidth}
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}
{\parbox{\picwidth}{\rule{\linewidth}{1.5\linewidth}}}   % replace \rule{…}{…} with your picture
{\picsep}
{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\textwidth-\picsep-\picwidth}\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter\\[20pt]\Huge\bfseries\filright#1}[\end{minipage}]

\begin{document}
  \chapter{Chapter title over two lines}
    Text
\end{document}

The comments in the above code should help to get things right. The new length registers can be used for adjustments. The width of the {minipage} environment) will always be exactly 1\textwidth.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Thank you Thorsten!
That's exactly what I needed

Hello,
I'm quite new to tex and I'm trying to use the above example but I am having problem getting it working.

I do want the graphics to occupy 65% of the page on where the Chapter heading occur, optimally positioned to the right of the Chapter# and Title text.

Also importantly, a different graphics for each chapter will be used.
The current code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[explicit,raggedright]{titlesec}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\newlength{\picsep}   % Separation between picture and heading
\setlength{\picsep}{0.05\textwidth}
\newlength{\picwidth}   % Width of the picture
\setlength{\picwidth}{0.2\textwidth}
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}
{\parbox{\picwidth}{\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{periodicTable.jpg}}}   % replace \rule{…}{…} with your picture
{\picsep}
{\begin{minipage}{\dimexpr\textwidth-\picsep-\picwidth}\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter\\[20pt]\Huge\bfseries\filright#1}[\end{minipage}]

\begin{document}
  \chapter{Chapter title over two lines}
    Text 
\end{document}

produces this output:

chapter-heading.png (49.48 KiB) Viewed 8805 times

I have been fiddling around with the code, but seem not to be able to figure out how to get it done properly. Any help greatly appreciated!
