I want to put two figures and an algorithm side by side in a two-column document, and the figures and the algorithm should span two columns.
I have surveyed previously asked questions such as How to put algorithm and figure(s) side by side? and How to put two figures side by side in a two-column document do not answer my question.
The following is a MWE, which includes templates for figures and alorithm that I use. If you are trying to run the code, please re-name whatever eps
figures you get to xx.esp
and yy.eps
in the same directory with the following document.

I know that the asterisk (*) is meant to make the figures span two colums, but the inside minipage
does not allow me to add the algorithm
. Moreover, even if the minipage
allows, the algorithm
would be in a figure
environment, which would conflict. Please help.
Edit: I upload a picture that shows what I want looks like. The two figures and the algorithm are in the same line, but span two columns.

Here's one possibility:
The
demo
option forgraphicx
simply replaces actual figures with black rectangles; do not use that option in your actual document.
