Overlays

What are Overlays?

Overlays are predefined snippets that you can stack on each other. Opposite to Layers that regard whole pages, overlays mostly are only single pictures, words or the like.

Defining

\defineoverlay[reference name][commands]

Better put your commands in braces.

Using

You can use defined overlays everywhere, where there's a background option.

\defineoverlay[tea][{\green\ss\bf GREEN TEA}]

\framed[height=40pt, background=tea, align=middle]%
{\em today\\for sale}

You can use this also with pictures. See also Logos.
