Text Formatting ⇒ Text on top of external graphics

[svend_tveskaeg]

Hi all.

I have to make a presentation so consider the following example (where the attached EPS picture have to be used):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lpic}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
 \begin{center}
  \begin{lpic}[draft]{havets_farver(0.45,0.45)}
    \lbl{100,75;a}
  \end{lpic}
 \end{center}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

This is working just fine but when I try to put in a list instead of just the `a', I get an error:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lpic}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
 \begin{center}
  \begin{lpic}[draft]{havets_farver(0.45,0.45)}
    \lbl{100,75;
    \begin{itemize}
      \item<1-> Test a.
      \item<2-> test b.
    \end{itemize}
    }
  \end{lpic}
 \end{center}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

Thank you in advance!

Inside the \lbl{} macro, you probably can't call an environment (like \begin{itemize}...). A not very elegant solution is to make your own list by hand, like:

Code: Select all

\begin{frame}
\begin{center}
  \begin{lpic}[draft]{havets_farver(0.45,0.45)}
    \lbl{100,75;$\bullet$ a}
    \lbl{100,65;$\bullet$ b}
  \end{lpic}
\end{center}
\end{frame}

Not the most elegant solution but it works.

Thank you very much!

List environments usually need boxes where paragraphs are allowed. So you can try the following with the varwidth package (not tested).

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[danish]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lpic}
\usepackage{varwidth}

\begin{document}
  \begin{frame}
    \centering
    \begin{lpic}[draft]{havets_farver(0.45,0.45)}
      \lbl{100,75;
        \begin {varwidth}{\linewidth}
          \begin{itemize}
            \item<1-> Test a.
            \item<2-> test b.
          \end{itemize}
        \end{varwidth}
      }
    \end{lpic}
  \end{frame}
\end{document}

With the overpic package there might be an alternative but it needs the same approach. The forum search should help with possible solutions.

Thank you very much, Thorsten!

I will go to sleep now but I will look at it tomorrow.
