General ⇒ Cant insert the figure in picture environment

[pban92]

I am practising to enter figure by the following codes with no success. The jpg file and the class file are attached. Any suggestion pls? Many thanks!

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twocolumn,10pt]{asme2e}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[t]
\begin{center}
\setlength{\unitlength}{0.012500in}%
\begin{picture}(115,35)(255,545)
\put(115,35){\includegraphics{kochcurve.jpg}}
\end{picture}
\end{center}
\caption{THE FIGURE CAPTION USES CAPITAL LETTERS.}
\label{kochcurve} 
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Thanks Thorsten. The latest problem arrived due to two columns document unlike the previous problem (View topic: Errors in picture from your post) was for single column document. May be I am missing something very basic rule about inserting figure.

[...] May be I am missing something very basic rule about inserting figure.

You have to use the figure* environment instead. Note that this will generate a full-width figure which spreads over the two columns.
