This is sometimes not good enough; so there are alternative +versions of the float environments - in two-column documents, +<code>figure*</code> provides a floating page-wide figure (and <code>table*</code> a +page-wide table) which will do the necessary. +<p>The "<code>*</code>"ed float environments can only appear at the top of a page, +or on a whole page - <code>h</code> or <code>b</code> float placement directives are +simply ignored. +<p>Unfortunately, page-wide equations can only be accommodated inside +float environments. You should include them in <code>figure</code> environments, +or use the <i>float</i> or <i>ccaption</i>package to define a +new float type. +<dl> +<dt><tt><i>ccaption.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ccaption.zip">macros/latex/contrib/ccaption</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ccaption.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/ccaption/">browse</a>) +<dt><tt><i>float.sty</i></tt><dd><a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float.zip">macros/latex/contrib/float</a> (<a href="ftp://cam.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float.tar.gz">gzipped tar</a>, <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/float/">browse</a>) +</dl> +<p><p>This question on the Web: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=widefigs">http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=widefigs</a> +</body> |
