overpic – Combine LaTeX commands over included graphics
The overpic environment is a cross between the LaTeX picture environment and the \includegraphics command of graphicx. The resulting picture environment has the same dimensions as the included graphic. LaTeX commands can be placed on the graphic at defined positions; a grid for orientation is available.
