General ⇒ Header and footer

[Jchen066]

Tried to use pictures for header and footer. please see below code used and the output:

The header picture doesn't covere the entire header area. Can I change the header height to match the picture or other way around.

Code: Select all

Hi there,
you've put the header logo into an additional tabular environment.
There's nothing wrong with that as such, but according to the column declaration---the {c}---you want \tabcolsep space left (and right) of this column.
Try {@{}c@{}} instead (the @{} cuts off the additional space, here on both sides of the c column).

Thanks Rainer. Indeed, it removed the space from both left and right side.

Is there a way to align the logo (the blue golden line) to the header line (dark line)

Well, you could put the image in a \raisebox and let it tell LaTeX, its contents has neither height nor depth.
However, your header image will then most likely overwrite the stuff from the left side; looks like you've already considered that and used a transparent background (otherwise, `year 11' wouldn't have been visible). So for those using a header file without transparency, I'd put the header image into a \makebox in the left header part already, where I can tell LaTeX to overwrite this box:

Code: Select all

\fancyhead[L]{%
  \makebox[0pt][l]{%
    \raisebox{-8mm}[0pt][0pt]{%
      \includegraphics[height=3.5cm, width=22cm]{header}%
    }%
  }%
  \large \bfseries \sffamily 
  \begin{tabular}{c}
    Year 11 \\ Mathematics \\ Extension 1
  \end{tabular}%
}

Or, you could use the eso-pic package for putting the header image in the background at top of the page (you're already loading it).
