How to put a picture to the top right of a page?

Question

I have written in TeX the following:

\section{A}
... somethingA ...

\begin{picture}(100, 100)(-250, -110)
\includegraphics[scale=1]{face.png}
\end{picture}

\section{B}
... somethingB ...

I have put specific parameters in picture (-250, -110) so that the picture is added in the top right of the created page. Although this works just fine, face.png appears where I want it, the problem is that there is a big gap between somethingA and somethingB. So I have something like this in the created document:

... somethingA ...





... somethingB ...

Any ideas how to solve this?

Answer 1

There are several possibilities:

1. Using the eso-pic package:

   \documentclass{article}
   \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} 
   \usepackage{eso-pic} 
   \usepackage{lipsum} 
   
   \begin{document}
   \lipsum[1-3]
   \AddToShipoutPicture*
       {\put(500,700){\includegraphics[width=3cm,height=2cm]{image}}}
   \end{document}
   

1. Using TikZ:

   \documentclass{article}
   \usepackage[demo]{graphicx} 
   \usepackage{tikz}
   \usepackage{lipsum} 
   
   \begin{document}
   \lipsum[1-3]
   \begin{tikzpicture}[overlay, remember picture]
     \node[xshift=-3cm,yshift=-2cm] at (current page.north east) {\includegraphics[width=3cm,height=2cm]{image}};
   \end{tikzpicture}
   
   \end{document}
   

Answer 2

Maybe the package wrapfig might solve your problem.

Try this code:

\documentclass{article} 
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} 
\usepackage[english]{babel} 
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} 
\usepackage{blindtext} 
\usepackage{wrapfig}

\begin{document} 

\section{A}

\begin{wrapfigure}{r}{3cm}
\includegraphics{test} 
\end{wrapfigure}

\blindtext


\section{B}
\blindtext

\end{document}
