Can LaTeX be Used to Draw on Floats?

In summary, "Drawing on Float with LaTeX" is a feature that allows users to insert figures, tables, and other graphics into their documents, while controlling their placement on the page. To use this feature, the graphicx package must be loaded in the document's preamble and the \begin{figure} command must be used to create a floating environment. The appearance of floats can be customized using various commands and options, and they can be referred to within the document using \ref and \pageref commands. However, there are limitations to using this feature, such as floats not being able to be split across pages and not always appearing exactly where specified due to optimization algorithms. Proper labeling and referencing is important to ensure correct numbering and referencing.

Dear all,

I'd just like to know if it's possible to add let's say line on float with Latex.
I use textpos package to add text but what about drawing?

Thanks,

Éric.
