Adjusting horizontal alignment of graphics and text

Post by miko »

Hi,

I'm trying to adjust the alignment of a graphic, I want the text underneath the graphic to align with the lower left corner of the black triangle composing the graphic.

I have attached the minimal example in this zip file.

An example of the proper alignment of the graphic can be seen in this file:

The bottom left corner of the black triangle composing the logo is in line with the rest of the text above.

Thanks in advance ! ;)

Adjusting horizontal alignment of graphics and text

Hi,

you can try using \hspace* (with a negative value in my example), as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}     
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[english]{babel}   
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\noindent Bla bla bla text text text Bla bla bla text text text

\noindent Bla bla bla text text text Bla bla bla text text text 

\hspace*{-1.05cm}\includegraphics[width=50mm]{Logo}

\noindent Bla bla bla text text text Bla bla bla text text text

\noindent Bla bla bla text text text Bla bla bla text text text 

\end{document}
Of course, you can adjust the value used according to your needs.
