Curricula Vitae / Résumés ⇒ Add a picture on the top right

[templateuser]

Hi,

I would like to add a picture on the top right beside the header. I could place a picture up there, but its way to far on the right. Here is what I tried:

Code: Select all

\newcommand{\header}[3]{%
  \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node [rectangle, fill=fillheader, anchor=north, minimum width=\paperwidth, minimum height=4cm]
    (box) at (current page.north){};
    \node [anchor=center] (name) at (box) {%
      \fontsize{40pt}{72pt}\color{header}%
      {\thinfont #1}{\bodyfont  #2}
    };
    \node [anchor=north] at (name.south) {%
      \fontsize{14pt}{24pt}\color{header}%
      \thinfont #3%
    };
    \node at (current page.north east) [anchore=north east] {\includegraphics[width=2cm]{./unilog4c.eps}}
  \end{tikzpicture}
  \vspace{2.5cm}
  \vspace{-2\parskip}
}

can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong, please!

Hey,

Your solution is correct, but you have 2 small mistakes in the line you added! The first is "anchore" instead of "anchor" and the second is that you didn't put a semicolon at the end of the line. This is what the line should be (worked for me):

Code: Select all

\node at (current page.north east) [anchor=north east] 
      {\includegraphics[width=2cm]{placeholder.jpg}};

Hello,

i know that this post is a little old but i would like to ask in which part i should paste this code to add picture to my cv. When i paste this right after header I'm getting error:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Command \header already defined.

Or name \end... illegal, see p.192 of the manual.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.

Type H <return> for immediate help.

Hey,

Open up friggeri-cv.cls and find the line \newcommand{\header}[3]{%. Within this block you need to paste:

\node at (current page.north east) [anchor=north east] {\includegraphics[width=2cm]{placeholder.jpg}};

just before:

\end{tikzpicture}

It should be on line 85 in v1.0 of the template.

Hi Vel.
I would like to know how can I manipulate photo to put it with 1cm top margin and 1cm right margin (using syntax decribed above)?

Hi,

You'll need to enclose the picture node in another node which is 1cm larger on all sides, here's some example code:

Code: Select all

    \node [rectangle, anchor=north east, minimum width=3cm] (box)
          at (current page.north east) (node1) {};
    \node [rectangle, anchor=north, minimum width=2cm] (box)
          at (current page.north east) at (node1.south)
          {\includegraphics[width=2cm]{placeholder.jpg}};

Cheers,

Hi Vel.

I would like to know how can I align the header to the right as i have added a picture on the left

Hi Alvaro,

You just need to anchor the node with the text in it "west" like so:

Code: Select all

    \node [[color=#FF0000]anchor=west[/color]] (name) at (box) {%
      \fontsize{40pt}{72pt}\color{header}%
      {\thinfont #1}{\bodyfont  #2}
    };

Cheers,
Vel

Hi Vel.

Cheers,

Hi Alvaro,

Try something like this:

\newcommand{\header}[3]{%
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
\node [rectangle, fill=fillheader, anchor=north, minimum width=\paperwidth, minimum height=4cm] (box) at (current page.north){};
\node [[color=#FF0000]anchor=west,xshift=-3cm[/color]] (name) at (box) {%
\fontsize{40pt}{72pt}\color{header}%
{\thinfont #1}{\bodyfont #2}
};
\node [anchor=north] at (name.south) {%
\fontsize{14pt}{24pt}\color{header}%
\thinfont #3%
};
[color=#FF0000] \node [rectangle, anchor=north west, minimum width=3cm] (box) at (current page.north west) (node1) {};
\node [rectangle, anchor=north, minimum width=2cm] (box) at (current page.north west) at (node1.south) {\includegraphics[width=2cm]{placeholder.jpg}};[/color]
\end{tikzpicture}
\vspace{2.5cm}
\vspace{-2\parskip}
}

I've highlighted my changes from the default in red. Note the xshift=<negative value> which moves that node to the left, this should mean your name fits!

Cheers,
Vel
