I read (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floa ... d_Captions) that the asterisk sign in {figure*} allows the picture to span across the two columns.
However, when I tried the code below, I got an image that was centered and spanned about 80% of the text, but it was not located at the bottom of the page, despite using and [b!] (I tried both). Any ideas?:
Code: Select all
