\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{poster}% new package created in this example

\begin{document}
% set the contents of the static frame called ``title''
\setstaticcontents*{title}{
\title{A Sample Poster}
\author{Nicola Talbot}
\maketitle
\thispagestyle{empty}% page numbers not appropriate for a poster
}

This is the main body of the poster. This text will
appear in the first of the two flow frames. Once it
has reached the end of the first flow frame, it will then
continue in the second flow frame.

The package, poster.sty, was created by JpgfDraw, and
uses the flowfram package. All the package options 
defined by the flowfram package are also available for
this new package. If used, they are simply passed on to the
flowfram package, so you can do, say
\begin{verbatim}
\usepackage[draft]{poster}
\end{verbatim}
and you will see the outline of all the defined frames.

The new package also uses the geometry package to 
set the page layout, and the pgf package to draw in the
frame's borders.

Note that JpgfDraw will only define the frame, and set the
frame's border (and offset). It will not set any of the
other keys, so if, for example, you want to rotate the
frame contents, you will have to edit that in here.

The flowfram package isn't perfect, and will sometimes
create an additional unwanted page. It also conflicts
with certain other packages that also change the output
routine.

Remember that you can't use the normal figure and
table environments within a dynamic or static frame,
instead use staticfigure (see Figure~\ref{fig:sample}) 
and statictable (see Table~\ref{tab:sample}).

% Now set the contents of the two dynamic frames
% For this example, they could just as easily have been
% static frames

% set the contents for the frame labelled ``figure''
\setdynamiccontents*{figure}{%
\begin{staticfigure}
\centerline{Insert figure here!}
\caption{A Sample Figure}
\label{fig:sample}
\end{staticfigure}}

% set the contents for the frame labelled ``table''
\setdynamiccontents*{table}{%
\begin{statictable}
\caption{A Sample Table}
\label{tab:sample}
\vspace{\baselineskip}
\centerline{Insert table here!}
\end{statictable}}

\end{document}
