Take the 2-minute tour ×  I have read this thread, but I don't
think it addresses the same problem.  I am looking for a way to
have a command in LaTeX with an interface as follows:
\placetextbox{x_in_page_percentage, y_in_page_percentage}{This
is my text}  The command would place the text This is my text
centered within a box that may overlap with anything else on the
page, and that would be placed at the coordinates specified by
the variables x_in_page_percentage and y_in_page_percentage.
These variables control the location of the x in the diagram
below. E.g.        This is my text  This way, something like
\placetextbox{0.5, 0.5}{This is my text} would place the text
roughly on the center of the page, regardless of anything else
that may be on that location.  Any thoughts how to do this?

pictures (and text) to pages as an overlay/in the foreground [as
an underlay/in the background]. The
