Thanks for asking. The problem is so simple from PowerPoint view. I want to place a logo of my academic institution on the front page, above the slide title. I can guess its x,y coordinates, but cannot understand how to place it there.
I know something about overlays, but it seems that they can add an image to a text already placed somewhere. I have no text, I just want to place an image at arbitrary location at one page.
With simpleslides, you will need to create your own "style module". Currently, there is no documentation for it, but here is the gist of creating your own style. Simpleslides provides four overlays, simpleslides:background:horizontal, simpleslides:background:vertical, simpleslides:background:title, simpleslides:background:ornament. The title background is placed on the title page, the horizontal and ornamanet backgrounds are placed on all pages other than \IncludePicture[vertical] where the vertical and ornamenet backgrounds are placed. If you to place a logo at a specific position, use \startuseMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament} StartPage ; metapost code to draw/place logo at a particular location StopPage ; \stopuseMPgraphic and then \defineoverlay [simpleslides:background:ornament] [\useMPgraphic{simpleslides:MP:ornament}] Aditya
