PDF - How center image on title page

PDF - How center image on title page

[LRP]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 616 bytes --]

I'd like to center a logo before the title on my PDF title page.

I found a recipe on the web using \usepackage{titling} in the metadata, but 
it failed. Can some kind soul show me how?

Many thanks,

LRP

You could use the wallpaper package (
https://ftp.cc.uoc.gr/mirrors/CTAN/macros/latex/contrib/wallpaper/wallpapermanual.pdf
).
Put the following in your YAML block:
header-includes: 
  - \usepackage{wallpaper}
  - \addtolength{\wpYoffset}{12cm} 
  - \ThisCenterWallPaper{1}{logo.png}

Change logo.png to whatever you logo is called (make sure it's in the same 
folder as your txt file) and adjust the Y offset to a value that gets the 
logo in the required position. You can also change the scale factor {1}.

Oops. I forgot to delete two lines in my YAML  file.

error message now reads:

Hmm, I don't use Makefile so can't be sure what goes wrong - I put all the 
fontsize, mainfont, geometry, papersize, etc. in the YAML. Try something 
simple first:
Create a test.md file with the following content (or use the attachment):
---
date: 24 December 2020
header-includes: 
  - \usepackage{wallpaper}
  - \addtolength{\wpYoffset}{12cm} 
  - \ThisCenterWallPaper{1}{WGLogo.png}
---

# Your title

Your text. 

Then run this command:
pandoc --pdf-engine xelatex -o test.pdf test.md

That should work and you can take it on from there.

I'm not a LaTeX expert, but I recently used this excerpted bit in a 
metadata file, and it worked for me.  Your mileage may vary.

```
header-includes: |
  \usepackage{graphicx}
  \usepackage{titling}
  \pretitle{\begin{center}
    \includegraphics[height=1.25in]{source/full-logo.png}\Huge\vskip 5em}
  \posttitle{\vfill \color{NavyBlue} \LARGE Long Title of Project
             \par \large PROJECT \par \normalsize Project Agreement No: 
XXXX \par \end{center}}
```

Re: PDF - How center image on title page

[gnpan]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 6198 bytes --]

Another way, simpler but maybe less flexible is to add this to the YAML:
title: |
  ![ ](WGLogo.png){width=1in}  
  Your title here

Re: PDF - How center image on title page

[Lloyd R. prentice]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7371 bytes --]

Thanks, gnpan,

This worked. But yes. I need more control over placement on page -- mainly positioning from top of page and additional line spacing to title.. I'm experimenting now with other methods suggested in this thread.

I'll report findings.

All the best,

LRP

Re: PDF - How center image on title page

[gnpan]

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 7348 bytes --]

You can add extra line spacing between the logo and the title:
title: |
  |  ![ ](WGLogo.png)  
  | 
  | 
  | Your Title

If you could use the titling package, then you could also move the title 
wherever you wanted, e.g. \setlength{\droptitle}{-8em} to take it up. Not 
sure why you can't get the wallpaper or titling packages to work, maybe 
something to do with calling pandoc with makfile - try running pandoc 
directly as suggested above.

Thanks gnpan!

Got it to work. I have a few more pesky questions, but I'll ask them one at a time.

Much appreciate your help.
