In a progress bar, I would like to place a percentage figure representing the amount of progress. The original code I obtained for the bar is from Progress bar for latex-beamer. The image below shows what I am looking to get but the 85% here is placed manually.

enter image description here

After trying to solve it by myself and looking on previous question I learnt that the command used to calculate percent progress is

\newcommand{\progressframepercent}{
    {\textnormal{\pgfmathparse{\insertframenumber*100/\inserttotalframenumber}%
            \pgfmathprintnumber[fixed,precision=2]{\pgfmathresult}\,\%}}
                                }

However, the percent indicator is still vertically centered. To solve this, the box must have the same height of the progress bar with the contents being vertically centered.

  • If you are using luatex, there are certainly ways (that I don't master) to do it. Some examples of ConTeXt presentation introduce that kind of progress bar. You may dig into ConTeXt wiki to find them. – sztruks Mar 17 '19 at 10:38
  • https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/59749/134144 shows how to autmatically calculate the percentage and use it in combination with a progress bar. – leandriis Mar 17 '19 at 11:08
  • @lendriis. I have successfully done the calculation and will modify the code accordingly, but I still need to know how to center the content vertically – Al-Motasem Aldaoudeyeh Mar 17 '19 at 11:17

To vertically centre the percentage indicator, you could put the text in a \raisebox. The value of 0.02cm used below is just a quick guess, if necessary you can fine tune it further.
