I have a slide that has some items and then underneath I have a figure, which is define as tikzpicture, while I want to point some arrows from items to the figure. The problem is that now both the figure and the items start from the center of the slide, and basically the figure is on top of the items. Any ideas how to solve this?

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,tikzmark}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Test}
\begin{itemize}
\item Item 1 \tikzmark{a}
\item Item 2 \tikzmark{b}
\item Item 3 \tikzmark{c}
\item Item 4
\end{itemize}
\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node {\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{my-picture}};
    \foreach \i/\j in {(0.5,0.66)/a} \draw [cyan,->] ({pic cs:\j}) -- \i;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}

\end{document}

The resulting layout should look like this sketch:

Using tabular environment will solve this:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,tikzmark}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}{Test - column}
    \begin{columns}[t]
        \begin{column}{.4\textwidth}
            \begin{itemize}
                \item Item 1 \tikzmark{a}
                \item Item 2 \tikzmark{b}
                \item Item 3 \tikzmark{c}
                \item Item 4
            \end{itemize}

        \end{column}
        \begin{column}{.6\textwidth}
            \centering
            \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
            \node {\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{example-image}};
            \foreach \i/\j in {(0.5,0.66)/a} \draw [cyan,->] ({pic cs:\j}) -- \i;
            \end{tikzpicture}
        \end{column}
    \end{columns}
\end{frame}

\begin{frame}{Test - tabular}
    \begin{tabular}{lc}
        \parbox{.4\textwidth}{
            \begin{itemize}
                \item Item 1 \tikzmark{a}
                \item Item 2 \tikzmark{b}
                \item Item 3 \tikzmark{c}
                \item Item 4
            \end{itemize}

        }
        \parbox{.6\textwidth}{
            \centering
            \begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
            \node {\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{example-image}};
            \foreach \i/\j in {(0.5,0.66)/a} \draw [cyan,->] ({pic cs:\j}) -- \i;
            \end{tikzpicture}
        }
    \end{tabular}
\end{frame}
\end{document}

  • This won't work for me, cause items are long sentences, I need the image to be below the items. – typos Jan 07 '17 at 12:40

Solved the problem by using [t] and at(...,...).

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,tikzmark}

\begin{document}

\begin{frame}[t]{Test}
\begin{itemize}
\item Item 1 \tikzmark{a}
\item Item 2 \tikzmark{b}
\item Item 3 \tikzmark{c}
\item Item 4
\end{itemize}
\centering
\begin{tikzpicture}[remember picture,overlay]
    \node at(1.5,-2) {\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{my-picture}};
    \foreach \i/\j in {(0.5,0.66)/a} \draw [cyan,->] ({pic cs:\j}) -- \i;
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{frame}

\end{document}
