[Tex/LaTex] BAposter headerbox without title

Question

I'm using the BAposter class to prepare a poster and I would like to have one of the boxes without title.

If I leave the title parameter blank:

\headerbox{}{name=myBox,...}{myText}

Then it still displays the header of the box.

Any ideas on how to hide the header of the box? Thanks

Answer 1

The height of the posterbox header is given by the boxheaderheight key. If no posterbox header is required, set the boxheaderheight to 0em as one of the keys passed to the posterbox environment.

More generally, all the keys available in the poster environment are available to the posterbox environment. This permits extensive customization of individual posterboxes. This is illustrated by changing the posterbox header colour (headerColorOne) from blue to green and the font color for the header from white to black for the fourth posterbox.

The MWE:

\documentclass[landscape,a0paper]{baposter}

\begin{document}

\begin{poster}{
  grid=false,
  columns=2,
  colspacing=4.2mm,
  headerheight=0.10\textheight,
  background=none,
  eyecatcher=false,
  %posterbox options
  headerborder=closed,
  borderColor=red,
  headershape=rectangle,
  headershade=plain,
  headerColorOne=blue,
  textborder=rectangle,
  boxshade=plain,
  boxColorOne=white,
  headerFontColor=white,
  headerfont=\color{white}\large\bfseries\sffamily,
  textfont=\normalsize\sffamily,
  linewidth=1pt
} 
{}
{Title}
{\textsc{Author}}
{}

\begin{posterbox}[name=box1,column=0,column=0,row=0,span=1]{Title}
This box has a header. The height of the box header is given by the key \texttt{boxheaderheight}.
The default \texttt{boxheaderheight} is 2em.
\end{posterbox}

\begin{posterbox}[name=box2,column=0,below=box1,span=1,boxheaderheight=0em]{}
This box has no header. Set the height of the box header with the key \texttt{boxheaderheight=height}, 
where \texttt{height} is some height measure like 4em. Add the key to the options passed
to the \texttt{posterbox} environment.
\end{posterbox}

\begin{posterbox}[name=box3,column=1,row=0,span=1,boxheaderheight=0em]{}
Another box with no header.
\end{posterbox}

\begin{posterbox}[name=box4,column=1,below=box3,span=1,headerColorOne=green,
                  headerfont=\color{black}\large\bfseries\sffamily,bottomaligned=box2]{Title}
This box has a header. The default \texttt{headerColor1}, given in the keys to the \texttt{poster} 
environment is changed from \texttt{blue} to \texttt{green}. The bottom of the box is aligned 
with the bottom of \texttt{box2}.
\end{posterbox}

\end{poster}

\end{document} 

The result:
