Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ multicol | Floating Figure disappears

[21did21]

hello world,

i try to insert a picture in one columns in my document which is in two columns but it don't works (my figure disappear) i don't understand why :

Code: Select all

\begin{multicols}{2}
\begin{figure} %permet de faire une figure flottante
\begin{center} %pour centrer la figure
\includegraphics[scale=0.3]{iopipipiopoiuy.ps}
\end{center}
\caption{fghjfghfghfg} %légende de la figure
\label{zdokhze}
\end{figure}
\end{multicols}

can you explain to me how i can correct this ?

thanks

For a figure spanning the full width you can use the starred figure*. You may also take a look at the cuted package from the sttools bundle and its strip environment.

[…] we can't with multicol ? […]

What do you want to do with multicol? Do you want to have a figure in a single column? Floats in single columns are not possible. You will have to place them absolutely. For this you can use the \captionof command from the caption package.
