Graphics, Figures & Tables

I'm using an EG document class for my paper:

http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SGP2010 ... /latex.zip

, and I'm trying to place a 'teaser', a figure which would span two columns before the abstract:

Code: Select all

\maketitle

\begin{figure*}[h!]

\abstract

There's something in this document class which prevents that, and throws the figure to the second page. Does anyone have an idea how it might be done, so I could patch it?

Thanks.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Drop the figure environment.

I tried that, it just put it automatically in one column of the first section (after the abstract).
