Figure spanning full width of page in two-column article
latex
Solution
For starters I might try to put the `figure*` block further up in the document, just to check that LaTeX isn't placing it there for a logical reason.
If that doesn't work, I would remove all extraneous commands in the figure* block to be sure they aren't causing problems.
Finally I might try using a figure that doesn't need resizing, or use `[width=0.9\linewidth]` just to check; sometimes figures that are "too big" can get bumped to the end of the document.
Edit: You may also try using (temporarily) a different template. For example I know that `revtex4-1` has a `figure*` environment that behaves the way to want, to check if `ieeetran` is the problem or perhaps if that is part of their style.
Problem
In a IEEEtran latex template, I am trying to put a figure spanning full width of the page. I am doing, ``` \begin{figure*}[h] \centering \setlength\fboxsep{0pt} \setlength\fboxrule{0.25pt} \fbox{\includegraphics[width=6.2in]{Figure7}} \caption{Figure} \label{f7} \end{figure*} ``` This places the image on a new page at the end of the article. How do I place it where it should be? Thanks
