floatstwo-column
I have 8 figures, which need to included in a two-column style paper. The figures should be added at the top of the corresponding page, three figures in each row (figure alignment is not as the two-column style).
i.e.:
fig1: fig2: fig3:
fig4: fig5: fig6:
Each figure should not start with (a)… (b)…… likewise.
Can anybody tell how to do this in LaTeX?
I've removed unnecessary environments and packages. However, I suspect that the real problem must lie in white space in the images themselves or, perhaps, the size of the images is affecting placement. Here's what I get with the demo option for graphicx:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\usepackage{bicaption}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[top=2.5cm,bottom=2.5cm,left=2cm,right=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\twocolumn
\section{Haha}
\lipsum[1-5]
\begin{figure}[!hbtp]
\begin{subfigure}{\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=77mm]{fig9b}
\caption{hei}\label{fig:fig8a}
\end{subfigure}
\begin{subfigure}{\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=77mm]{fig9b}
\caption{7月10日散流器Bi各测点风速值图}\label{fig:fig8b}
\end{subfigure}
\begin{subfigure}{\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=77mm]{fig9b}
\caption{7月11日散流器Bi各测点风速值图}\label{fig:fig8c}
\end{subfigure}
\bicaption{不同测试日风口Bi各测点风速测试结果}{The test results of various measuring points wind speed of diffuser B$_i$}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}[!hbtp]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=77mm]{fig9b}
\caption{hei}\label{fig:fig8a}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=77mm]{fig9b}
\caption{7月10日散流器Bi各测点风速值图}\label{fig:fig8b}
\bicaption{不同测试日风口Bi各测点风速测试结果}{The test results of various measuring points wind speed of diffuser B$_i$}
\end{figure}
\section{Hi}
\lipsum[1-5]
\end{document}
The stfloats package provides this functionality
\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{stfloats}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
bla bla bla bla bla bla (text)
\begin{figure*}[t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width = 6 cm]{example-image-a}
\caption{Hi! I'm Figure A.}
\label{fig:figureA}
\end{figure*}
\begin{figure*}[b]
\centering
\includegraphics[width = 6 cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{Figure B, thats me!.}
\label{fig:figureB}
\end{figure*}
\def\a{bla bla bla bla bla bla (text)}
\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a
\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a
\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a
zzz \a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a
\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a
\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a\a
\end{document}
Best Answer
You can use
subcaptionto produce sub-elements inside a float:Note that column-spanning floats in
twocolumnmode will always follow the page where you put thefigure*environment. If you want it on a different page, you need to adjust the placement accordingly.
