I'm trying to use an image as a background for Beamer presentation according to this post. However, I do not want the image spanning the entire background. Thus, I'm doing something like:
\usebackgroundtemplate{% \centering
\hspace{4.5cm}
\includegraphics[width=1.5in]{image.jpeg}
}
The \hspace
command works, but \vspace
does not work. Basically, I'm trying to get the image to be at the center of the page. Any ideas on how this can be done?
Best Answer
You can box the image and then use
\vfil
and\hfil
to center it:The line
\PassOptionsToPackage{demo}{graphicx}
was used to make my example compilable for everyone (replacing the image for a black rectangle); do not use that line in your actual document.You can also use a
\parbox
with width and height equal to\paperwidth
and\paperheight
, resp., and center vertically with the optional argument, and horizontally using\centering
