\setlayerframed is great - no need to define a layer for each piece of
content. That was new to me.
Now, to make sure that I have understood correctly by comparing code and
output:
> \setlayerframed
> [page]
> [preset=lefttop]
> [align=normal,
> width=.25\paperwidth,
> frame=off]
> {\getbuffer}
This will be placed with its top left corner at the top left edge of the
page.
> \setlayerframed
> [page]
> [offset=.2\paperwidth,
> preset=righttop]
> [width=.2\paperwidth,
> align=normal]
> {\getbuffer}
With the top right corner at the top right edge of the page, with an
offset (both x and y) of 0.2\paperwidth.
> \setlayerframed
> [page]
> [preset=middle]
> [offset=1cm]
> {\externalfigure[whatever][width=4cm,height=5cm]}
Centered on the page.
Ok. But it doesn't solve my problem. What I want to do is:
- Place X somewhere.
- Place Y with its top left corner 2cm below bottom center point of X.
(Or some other reference point among tl, t , tr, l, c, r, bl, b, br.)
You see, I don't know exactly what goes into the layers and how big it
is, but I want to place someting else exactly beneath it.
Can this be done?
