floats
Before anything, this question may have been asked already, but I can't find it.
I want to place a picture right on top of the page letting no white space between the top edge of the page and the top edge of the picture. I have already fitted the picture width to the paper width like this:
\makebox[\textwidth]{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{mypicture}}
Thanks for all and sorry about my spelling.
This is the default behaviour for figure* in a two-column document. You're going to have to avoid this.
Anywhere before making a call to \maketitle, add the following (replacing example-image with your image, including the \includegraphics parameters):
\makeatletter
\let\@oldmaketitle\@maketitle% Store \@maketitle
\renewcommand{\@maketitle}{\@oldmaketitle% Update \@maketitle to insert...
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth,height=4\baselineskip]
{example-image}\bigskip}% ... an image
\makeatother
The above inserts an image as part of \@maketitle (at the end), which is set in \twocolumn mode as part of the title. Using the documentclass sigchi.cls, it displays the following output:
Evidently revtex4-1 doesn't allow floats on the bottom of pages, at least it sets \bottomnumber to 0 and \bottomfraction to .09. If you don't mind incurring the wrath of the revtex4-1 gods, this can be corrected.
\documentclass{revtex4-1}
\usepackage{mwe}
\def\bottomfraction{0.5}
\def\bottomnumber{1}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure*}[b]
\includegraphics{example-image}
\end{figure*}
\lipsum[1-12]
\end{document}

I suggest you to use the
eso-picpackage:You might need to play with the settings but basically this is one way to do it. To have the picture on each page just remove the '*'.
