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.
