I am making a presentation. One of my slides has a graphical representation of statistics in a fancy manner. I want to make a reference of source from where I am pulling those stats. How can I do this.

MWE

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}

\usepackage{filecontents}% to embed the file `myreferences.bib` in your `.tex` file
\begin{filecontents*}{myreferences.bib}
@online{foo12,
  year = {2012},
  title = {footnote-reference-using-european-system},
  url = {http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69716/footnote-reference-using-european-system},
}
\end{filecontents*}

% File is created and written to disk by the above package
\addbibresource{myreferences.bib}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{Fig_XYZ.png} 
\footcite{foo12}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\printbibliography
\end{frame}

\end{document}

This results in an awkwardly place (towards bottom right corner of slide) number in my slide. How can I bring this number around my image?

    A footnote marker is not really an obvious partner for an image, is it? Can't you just put an abbreviated reference beneath the image? Or in the footline? Footnote references to a slide somewhere else in the presentation are going to mean all of nothing to your audience, surely?

As cfr mentioned in her comment, better looking way is not to use footnote references for pictures. Try to put reference immediately below picture like this:

enter image description here

\begin{frame}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image}\\[-1ex]
{\tiny Source: \cite{foo12}}
\end{frame}

Edit: An attempt to make command for stack of figure and citation of image source. For it I use package stackengine:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{stackengine}
\newcommand{\figcite}[3]{
  \def\stackalignment{l}
  \stackunder{\includegraphics[width=#1]{#2}}{\scriptsize Source: \cite{#3}}
                        }

\usepackage[style=verbose]{biblatex}
\usepackage{filecontents}% to embed the file `myreferences.bib` in your `.tex` file

\begin{filecontents*}{myreferences.bib}
@online{foo12,
  year = {2012},
  title = {footnote-reference-using-european-system},
  url = {http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/69716/footnote-reference-using-european-system},
}
\end{filecontents*}

% File is created and written to disk by the above package
\addbibresource{myreferences.bib}

    \begin{document}
\begin{frame}
    \figcite{\textwidth}{example-image}{foo12}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}
\printbibliography
\end{frame}
    \end{document}

  • Do you think it is possible to have a custom figure enviroment that does this automatically?

  • @alfc, of course. See tex.stackexchange.com/251596/footnote-to-figure, maybe you find some idea, how to do this "semi-automaticaly", on the end you still need to write reference to your bibliography ...

  • Thanks, but the link is broken.

  • Link is not complete ... before it you must add http://. Anyway, I will try to compose a new command which will a bit simplify placing figure and source note.

  • http is not the problem, the link is broken to me.

Just as an addition to Zarko, I'd use tikz

\documentclass[a4paper]{memoir}
\usepackage{tikz}
\newcommand\PIC{\rule{5cm}{5cm}}
\begin{document}

\begin{tikzpicture}
  \node[inner sep=0pt,anchor=south west] at (0,0) {\PIC};
  \node[anchor=north west] at (0,0) {\footnotesize
    \textbf{Source:} URL};
\end{tikzpicture}

\end{document}

Might be a bit simpler to understand. Of course this does not make it automatic, but it is easy to wrap it together as macro similar to \figcite in Zarkos answer.
