Summary description: Absolute placement with coffins
Announcement text:
The abspos package lets you place contents at an absolute position, anchored at some specified part of the contents, similar to how TikZ nodes work, though without using the two-pass strategy of TikZ. It also avoids messing with the order of beamer overlays, which is what happens when one uses the textpos package with the overlay option. The solution used is quite straightforward, combining coffins (using l3coffins) with the placement mechanisms of atbegshi.
The package’s Catalogue entry can be viewed at https://ctan.org/pkg/abspos The package’s files themselves can be inspected at https://mirrors.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/abspos/
Thanks for the upload. For the CTAN Team Petra Rübe-Pugliese
