Problem using a figure to cover two collumns space document

Post by yperionas »

Greetings to all and thank you in advance for your effort replying to this.

I am trying to use a figure in order to cover both columns in the document below but I am missing something because the image does not appear in the document. I get no errors as well. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{stfloats}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure*}[!t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=8cm]{udl.pdf}
\caption{caption a}
\label{label a}
\end{figure*}
\end{document}

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

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

Hi,

it works for me, with a dummy image. Could you perhaps post your .log file as attachment to a forum post?
