Hi,

I am trying to achieve the following effect:

On one slide, under a common heading, I first want to display a simple
Scheme and an explaining Figure below. In the next step, the scheme is
replaced by a more complicated one which also takes more vertical
space. The Figure that explains Scheme 2 is different, but has exactly
the same dimensions, and should be displayed at the same place where
Figure 1 was. In a third step, a conclusion text appears below Scheme 2
and figure 2.

The problem, as can be seen in the minimal example below, is that the
figures hop around: It is placed lower with the flatter Scheme 1.

How can I prevent that, or how could i achieve the same with different
commands?=20

Regards, Frank
