It seems that the KOMA package scrletter
(used with the class scrartcl
) ensures that there is vertical space between the output of the \closing{..}
and where the KOMA variable signature
is used and this "extra" space is added even if a signature is added via e.g. \includegraphics{signature}
; How can I get rid of this space in this case?:
The code which produced the above is:
\documentclass{scrartcl}
\usepackage{scrletter}
% Package import declarations
\usepackage{graphicx} % Include graphics for LaTeX
% Document settings
\begin{document}
\setkomavar{signature}{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{585px-Abraham_Lincoln_1862_signature}\\Abraham Lincoln}
%\setkomavar{signature}{Abraham Lincoln}
\setkomavar{subject}{Application for candidacy for the Republican primaries}
\begin{letter}{Illinois Republican Party\\
Chicago Office\\
P.O.\ Box 64897 \\
Chicago, IL 60664}
\opening{To whom it may concern:}
I would hereby like to propose myself as a presidential candidate for the Republican Party because I love freedom and bald eagles and I hate slavery and stuff like that.
\closing{Yours sincerely,}
\end{letter}
\end{document}
