Hello Wolfgang,

When top=0 and left=0, the image should be centred in the text area.
With top=0.5 it should be centred in the bottom half.
With top=0.5 and left=0.5 it should be centred in bottom right quarter.
And so on.
("top" and "left" should be probably replaced by "hoffset" and "voffset")



Another idea comes to my mind:

text text text
text text text text text text
text text text text text text text text text
text text text text text text
text \placeanchor[myanchorname][hoffset=2cm, voffset=-1cm] text text text
text text text text text
text text text text text text text text

\placeatanchor[myanchorname]{\externalfigure[...]}

That means: I would like to define a position somewhere in the text,
perhaps some distance away from the actual point (hoffset and voffset).

And afterwards, I place an image at exactly that position as background.
This way, I can probably use the \FlushStep command.

I've looked quickly into the details.pdf but it all seems to be related to
floats...

TIA for any help!
Cheers, Peter
