Hello,

Can I arrange *multiple* images per a page in specified positions (x,y) 
using simpleslides module?

And another question: how can setup a background *image* for all slides?

Hi,

no, there is not yet code for this. I usually do it "by hand," but if  
this is something you need/use often, it would be relatively easy to  
provide a macro for it.

The cleanest way would be to write your own "submodule." It's easy;  
maybe just use one of the existing simpleslides-s-XXX.tex files and  
modify it; replace the lines

\defineoverlay
   [simpleslides:background:horizontal]
   [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:horizontal}]

with

\defineoverlay
   [simpleslides:background:horizontal]
   [{\externalfigure[<your_figure>][width=...]}]

Last semester, for the presentations in my class, I had defined a  
macro that would randomly pick one out of 25 pictures for every slide.  
I can send you the code if you want.

Can you elaborate? Do you want the same images to appear in all slides in 
the background (like a corporate design), or do you want to include 
multiple images on a single page, say two images side by side?

With simpleslides, you will need to create your own "style module". 
Currently, there is no documentation for it, but here is the gist of 
creating your own style.

Simpleslides provides four overlays, simpleslides:background:horizontal,
simpleslides:background:vertical, simpleslides:background:title, 
simpleslides:background:ornament.

The title background is placed on the title page, the horizontal and 
ornamanet backgrounds are placed on all pages other than 
\IncludePicture[vertical] where the vertical and ornamenet backgrounds are 
placed.

If you to place a logo at a specific position, use

\startuseMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament}
StartPage ;
metapost code to draw/place logo at a particular location
StopPage ;
\stopuseMPgraphic

and then

\defineoverlay
   [simpleslides:background:ornament]
   [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament}]

Re: Simpleslides question

Thanks for asking. The problem is so simple from PowerPoint view. I want 
to place a logo of my academic institution on the front page, above the 
slide title. I can guess its x,y coordinates, but cannot understand how 
to place it there.

I know something about overlays, but it seems that they can add an image 
to a text already placed somewhere. I have no text, I just want to place 
an image at arbitrary location at one page.
