textpos
This could be a too obvious question.
I'm trying to lay things out on a page and I'm having to recompile a lot. I'd like to layout a grid using \TPHorizmodule and \TPVertmodule (from the textpos package) as the reference which will help me lay out my document. I've seen some 'grid' suggestions but I'm struggling to understand them.
Any help gratefully received.
I have somewhat solved the problem by adding a size tag on an individual \FramText (but I know there is a way to generalize the text size in the settings of \newcommand\FrameText) :
\documentclass[17pt,t]{beamer}
\usetheme{default}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\setbeameroption{hide notes}
\setbeamertemplate{note page}[plain]
\beamertemplatenavigationsymbolsempty
\hypersetup{pdfpagemode=UseNone}
\useoutertheme{miniframes}
\usepackage[absolute,overlay]{textpos}
\newcommand\FrameText[1]{%
\begin{textblock*}{\paperwidth}(0pt,\textheight)
\raggedleft #1\hspace{.5em}
\end{textblock*}}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}[c]{Plops}
Plops plops plops
\FrameText{\footnotesize Textblock}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
If you want to have images automatically resized to fit in the frames while preserving their aspect ratio, then the following should do what you want. Note that the body of the questionpicture environmment is boxed as with lrbox; it can contain anything that can be boxed this way: for instance, one or more character tokens, an image included with \includegraphics, a tikzpicture, etc.).

On page 2:
The minipage environment is very useful, as you can see. :-) I use it twice here:
with a fixed width and a height that adapts to the contents: this is used around the inner enumerate environment;
with a fixed width and a fixed height: this is used inside the frame, and allows for easy centering of the framed material in both horizontal and vertical directions.
The \ryanjform@hrule command allows you to tune the rule parameters in a central place. It has a fixed kern on both sides for æsthetic reasons (IMHO). The rule itself is made with \leaders in a similar way as \hrulefill, but is raised for æsthetic reasons too (see the height and depth parameters; the rule produced by \hrulefill would lie on the baseline). The rule length is therefore not hardcoded in my version: it adapts to the text on the same line before the rule, and to the enclosing minipage.
choices environmentBy default, the choices environment scales the box created from the contents of the questionpicture environment using \scalebox, so that the scaled box fits in the frame and either its width or its height is equal to that of the frame. This scaling process preserves the aspect ratio; it can be turned off on a picture by picture basis using autoscale=false in the optional argument of the choices environment (see below). There is also the \ryanjformsetup command for more durable changes; it will be described below.
This scaling process only considers the box dimensions, it doesn't care about their contents. This implies that fonts used inside a tikzpicture will be scaled along with the rest of the picture. In case you want fonts not to be scaled, you should use autoscale=false or write your tikzpictures so that they need no scaling. You can do the latter either manually or using the TikZ style form autoscale defined in the above document (style based on marmot's code that writes the picture bounding box to the .aux file in order to scale it appropriately on the next LaTeX run). As marmot wrote, you'll probably need to disable the \scalebox-based scaling for tikzpictures that use the remember picture option. The easiest way to do this is to pass autoscale=false to the choices environment, like this:
\begin{choices}[autoscale=false]
\begin{questionpicture}
〈boxed material〉
\end{questionpicture}
where 〈boxed material〉 represents your picture here, but can be pretty much anything.
Each tikzpicture for which you use form autoscale must be assigned a unique identifier containing no control sequence token nor active character. For instance:
\begin{choices}[autoscale=false]
\begin{questionpicture}
\begin{tikzpicture}[form autoscale=my identifier]
(...)
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{questionpicture}
\item (...)
\end{choices}
As said, pictures using the form autoscale style write their scale factor to the .aux file, therefore after the first compilation of a document containing a picture with the identifier used above, you would see this message on the terminal (LaTeX output):
Automatically-scaled pictures: please recompile for picture 'my identifier'.
The form autoscale autoid style defined in an example from a further section allows you to automatically generate such identifiers using a counter, in case you don't want to bother with them.
If you want an inner border inside the frames, just specify the desired width in the line that reads \setlength{\fboxsep}{0pt}%.
If you want autoscale=false to be the default (i.e., perform no \scalebox-based scaling by default), simply replace autoscale .initial:n = { true } with autoscale .initial:n = { false }. Then to turn on automatic \scalebox-based scaling for a given framed picture, pass autoscale or autoscale=true in the optional argument of the choices environment:
\begin{choices}[autoscale] ...
Another way to change the default behavior is to call, for instance, \ryanjformsetup{autoscale=false} somewhere before the choices environments you want to affect. The \ryanjformsetup command respects TeX's scoping rules as defined by groups. It can be used in the preamble or elsewhere in the document.
If you prefer this style of alignment between the choices and the framed pictures:
please do the following.
\minipage{\dimexpr\linewidth-\mywidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\minipage[t]{\dimexpr\linewidth-\mywidth-2\fboxrule-2\fboxsep}
\begin{minipage}[c][\myheight][c]{\mywidth}
\begin{minipage}[t][\myheight][c]{\mywidth}
\fcolorbox inside \raisebox{\baselineskip}{...} like this:
\raisebox{\baselineskip}{%
\fcolorbox{red!20}{blue!20}{%
\begin{minipage}[t][\myheight][c]{\mywidth}
...
\end{minipage}%
}}%
tikzpictures in generalConcerning the fact that shifting the coordinates used inside your tikzpictures doesn't affect where they are placed in the LaTeX document, this is indeed correct. A tikzpicture behaves as a box with a width, a height, a depth, a reference point, and gets placed like other boxes by TeX. Without particular options, the width and height are generally just enough to hold the picture contents, and the reference point is located at the lower left corner; but options such as overlay and baseline can change this. You may want to read this answer for more details about this.
Here is code implementing a different behavior as described in this comment and those following (mainly: no horizontal rules, no \choice counter anymore, uppercase choice labels, \scalebox-based automatic scaling off by default and “marmot autoscaling” using the .aux file on for all tikzpictures occurring inside the questionpicture environment using an automatically generated picture identifier):

enumitem setupAs pointed out in comments, loading parskip modifies the vertical spacing between items of the enumerate environment from enumitem. Here is one way to deal with this problem:
\documentclass{article}
(...)
\makeatletter
\newtoggle{parskiploaded}
\@ifpackageloaded{parskip}
{\toggletrue{parskiploaded}}
{\togglefalse{parskiploaded}}
(...)
\AfterEndEnvironment{questionpicture}{%
(...)
\begingroup
\iftoggle{parskiploaded}%
{\enumerate[label=(\Alph*),itemsep=7pt]}%
{\enumerate[label=(\Alph*)]}%
}
(...)
\end{document}
We need two steps because \@ifpackageloaded only works in the preamble. For alternatives to the \iftoggle I used from etoolbox, you may want to read this answer (\iftoggle is quite fine, though).

Here's one possibility using TikZ:
