\fbox down to end of page?

Post by saoirse86 »

Hello

I want to draw an empty box that goes down to the end of the page. I tried

Code: Select all

\fbox{\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}\hfill\vspace{5cm}\end{minipage}}
which gives me a 5cm high box, for example. Does someone know what code to enter instead so that the box automatically goes down until the end of the page? Thanks for any ideas.

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

Have you tried \vspace*{\fill}?
