Double-column figure in two column papers of Latex

How to create a figure crossing columns in a two column paper using Latex? The solution is quite simple.

Use \begin{figure*} ... \end{figure*}. For tables, use \begin{table*} ... \end{table*}.

    Hi, Ali,

    The best way is to split the equation into two or three lines.

    Hoi,

    thank you very much for your post. I've been looking for that info for a long time.

    Now I have a question: I want my double-column report to have a single-column section (actually a title page and a final page with burocratic information, both of them have a fixed format). Is there any way out?

    Thanks in advance!

    Best,
    p.

    Hi, Pablo,

    Use package "multicol" at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/multicol.html or "cuted" at http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/cuted.html. Refer to their documents for details.
