Subject: problem with tikz remember picture and overlay.
Date: Mon, 7 Mar 2011 08:02:04 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <AANLkTimxr2mzKtUW=NKenUj1xeGLwB=sjk68YTOq9iHP@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I am trying to use tikz's remember picture and overlay for absolute
positioning. With the code below, the content in the tikz picture
appears on a new page after the slide title. I want it to appear on
the same page. Please see the minimal example below. I have explained
with comments where the problem occurs.
Thanks for your help.
\setuppapersize[S6][S6]
\setuplayout[backspace=0.5in, width=middle, header=0.25in,
topspace=0.25in, height=middle]
\setupbackgrounds[page][background=color, backgroundcolor=linen]
\setupwhitespace[medium]
\setuppagenumbering[location=]
\setupcolors[state=start]
\setupinteraction[state=start,color=blue]
\setupcolor[xwi]
\definehead[slidetitle][subject]
\setuphead[slidetitle][style=\tfb,
color=lightsteelblue]
\def\SlideTitle#1{\page\framed[frame=off, background=color, %
backgroundcolor=gray:9]{\slidetitle{#1}}}
\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfont[Helvetica]
\switchtobodyfont[20pt]
\definehead[slidetitle][subject]
\setuphead[slidetitle][style=\tfb,
color=lightsteelblue]
\def\SlideTitle#1{\page\framed[frame=off, background=color, %
backgroundcolor=gray:9]{\slidetitle{#1}}}
\starttext
\SlideTitle{Product Characteristics and Quality}
% This tikz content should appear on the same page as the title,
but it appears
% on a new page. If I use \subject{Product Characteristics and
Quality} then
% the tikz content appears on the same page.
\starttikzpicture[remember picture, overlay]
\node[xshift=2in, yshift=2in] at (current page.north west)
[text width = 2in]{Weight?}
\stoptikzpicture
% The following content appears on another page after the tikz
content. This is independent
% of whether I use \SlideTitle or \subject. How can I make all of
these appear on the same page?
