Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ justifying the last columns on the last page to insert figur

[mahmood]

There is a problem with inserting figures at the end of a 2 column document. Since the text in both columns are not justified, there are some free wholes in the page.
Consider the last page looks like

Code: Select all

-line1-  ------- 
-line2-  -------
-line3-  -------
-line4-  -------
-line5-  -------
-------  -------
-------  -------
-------  -------
-------  -------

As you can see in the last page (say page 12) there are two columns and the first column contains 5 lines. If I want to insert a figure at the end of document, it will go to page 13.
The correct layout should be something like this

Code: Select all

-line1-  -line4- 
-line2-  -line5-
-line3-  -------
-------  -------
----------------
|    figure    |
-------  -------

Currently I use

Code: Select all

  \begin{figure*}[h]
    \begin{center}
       \includegraphics{fig.eps}
    \end{center}
    \caption{description}
    \label{fig}
  \end{figure*}
