Graphics, Figures & Tables

Greetings!

We need to write an article and set it up as such. We have some fact boxes which would be very nice to have covering af bit of the columns.

Is it possible to make a figure fill more than one column, without breaking the columns completely?

Thanks

Please specify how these "fact boxes" should look like.

Use the figure* environment for figures that spread across the columns.

If you run into trouble, provide a minimal working example (MWE) that shows the difficulties.

Best regards and welcome to the board

We have 3 columns and want a box or a picture to spand over 2 of them or just parts of 2 of the columns.

figure* just stop all columns, put the figure and start the columns again, that's not exactly what we want.
