Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure on its own Page

[kaioh]

Hi. I'm trying to put some figure, that is basically composed of six subfigure, alone in a page, in a two-column paper. More specifically, I'm using this:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure*}[!t]
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{A.pdf}\label{nlp1}}
\,
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{B.pdf}\label{nlp2}}\\
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{C.pdf}\label{nlp3}}
\,
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{D.pdf}\label{nlp4}}\\
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{E.pdf}\label{nlp5}}
\,
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=8.5cm]{F.pdf}\label{nlp6}}
\caption{Abc.}
\label{fig1}
\end{figure*}

The question is that left over two or three lines in the background of the page, and it gets there some text. If I put for exemple \begin{figure*}[!c], it puts the figure at the end of everything, and of course, in this case the figure is centered, and that was what I want to do, but in some middle page. Does anyone know how to do that? Or is that even possible?

Thank you,
Kaioh

\begin{figure*}[!c]

These is no float placement parameter "c", therefore the syntax of the statement above is wrong.

Hi Kaioh,

welcome to the board!

You could use the p option for figure*. It means putting figures on separate float pages and it works for figure* in a twocolumn documt as well. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
text
\begin{figure*}[!p]
\centering
\includegraphics{filename}
\caption{Demo figure}
\end{figure*}
text
\end{document}
