1. A method for dynamically plotting an element on an image, comprising the steps of:
- receiving plotting coordinates for the element;
receiving the image and dimensions for the image;
creating a page background using the image;
creating a table containing the element; and
displaying the table over the page background so that the element is plotted on the image.

Abstract
A method and system for dynamically plotting an element on an image using a table. A page background is created using the image. A table is created containing the element. The table contains a first buffer row, an element row and a second buffer row. The first buffer row positions the element in the table. The element row displays the element and the second buffer row positions any additional characters on the page below the image. The element is overlaid on the image by displaying the table containing the element over the page background containing the image.

12. A computer-readable medium having computer executable instructions for dynamically plotting an element on an image, comprising the steps of:
-
(a) receiving a horizontal coordinate and a vertical coordinate for the element; (b) receiving the image and an image height (c) creating a page background using the image by (i) positioning the image at a pre-determined offset within the page background; and (ii) filling an area of the page background outside of the image with a background filler; (d) (d) creating a table to position the element on the image, the table having a first buffer row, an element row and a second buffer row; and displaying the table over the page background so that the element is plotted on the image. (e) displaying the table over the page background so that the element is plotted on the image. - View Dependent Claims (13)
