Wrapping text around wide figures in twocolumn article style
Frank Bouwens
I'm writing an article in latex in two columns created as
"\documentclass[11pt,twocolumn]{article}". Since some pictures are wider
than the columnwidth it would be helpfull if they could be as wide as two
columns. Off course, this can be done by setting the width of the graphic,
but if there is text in the right column my image (placed in left column)
is overwritten be this text.
My question: Isn't there a way to wrap the text around the graphic when the
article is written in two columns?
I've tried 'wrapfigure', 'floatflt' and even 'minipage' & 'narrow' (I'm
desperate :), but nothing seems to work.
Thank you in advance.

Appropriate typo.
You don't want "wrapping" at all. You want \begin{figure*}.
Or you want {multicols} for two columns, and you would
\begin{multicols}{2}
...
\end{multicols}
\begin{centering}
\includegraphics{widepicture}
\end{centering}
\begin{multicols}{2}
Or use another package for balanced two-column (maybe)

Great stuff. :-)
Found it at the given location.
( ftp://ftp.dante.de/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/wrapfig )
Note however that on
http://ctan.unsw.edu.au/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/wrapfig.html
there are two _false_ misc.tar.gz download links mentioned.

sigh. thanks for spotting this catalogue error: i shall get it dealt
with ... some time soon.
in general, mail to ct...@dante.de will get to the catalogue quicker,
since i'm usually the only member of the ctan team that reads c.t.t
... but, so long as i remain healthy, i'll probably continue tracking
c.t.t
even though people dislike my tone of writing so much :-}

Maybe I should intensify my efforts to set you off favorably.

Then let me put it this way: it's a perception issue of yours.
