I am just following this figure span to one column on double column page to span figures on a two-column page but the difference instead of pasting one figure I need to put two and three figures here.

This is code for pasting a figure by spanning two columns

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article} \usepackage{lipsum}% http://ctan.org/pkg/lipsum \usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% http://ctan.org/pkg/graphicx \begin{document} \section{First section} \lipsum[1-2] \section{Second section} \lipsum[3] \begin{figure*} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{figure} \caption{This is a figure caption} \end{figure*} \lipsum[4] \section{Last section} \lipsum[5-10] \end{document}

I want to this same but instead of one figure I want to put two and three figures. I tried this but it's not working. Can any one help?

 \begin{figure*} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{1.PNG} \caption{This is a figure caption} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{2.PNG} \caption{This is a figure caption} \end{figure*}

see figure for clear requirements. enter image description here

please try to help instead of passing comments that it's already been answered. The existing one didn't help me that's why I posted this.

    Is each image supposed to get its own caption, do you want a shared caption for all three images or do you want subcaptions with a shared caption? Although about tables rather than about images, the following may be useful: tex.stackexchange.com/a/597566/134144 Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 8:04

I propose this solution, based on the floatrow package:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article} \usepackage{lipsum} \usepackage{graphicx} \usepackage{floatrow} \DeclareFloatSeparators{Qquad}{\hskip4em} \begin{document} \section{First section} \lipsum[1-2] \section{Second section} \lipsum[3] \begin{figure*} \floatsetup{floatrowsep=Qquad} \begin{floatrow} \ffigbox[\FBwidth]{\caption{Ralph Steadman. Illustrations for \emph{Alice in Wonderland}}\label{Alice-Ralph}}{\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{AliceSteadman}} \ffigbox[\FBwidth]{\caption{Yuri Norstein. \emph{Hedgehog in the fog}}\label{Hedgehog}}{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{Hedgehog-in-the-fog}}\hskip4em \ffigbox[\FBwidth]{\caption{Max Ernst. \emph{Euclid}}\label{Ernst}}{\includegraphics{Euclid}} \end{floatrow} \end{figure*} \lipsum[4] \section{Last section} \lipsum[5-10] \end{document}

  • Since both IEEE and floatrow use custom captions, this may not be a good idea. Don't mess with IEEE captions. Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 15:45
  • @JohnKormylo: As far as I know, the only thing that floatrow does is to fix the caption width Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 15:50
  • It can also move them to entirely different locations. See tex.stackexchange.com/questions/403661/… (OTOH, I believe the floatbox was created specifically to overcome this problem.) Commented Aug 1, 2021 at 15:54

    @Alex - What works for two tables will work for as many as will fit the page. Commented Aug 2, 2021 at 3:07

    @Alex: I had not seen your last comment, sorry. If your question is bout the floatrow environment, you can specify the number of figures in a row as an optional argument, like this: \begin{floatrow}[4] … \end{floatrow}. Of course, the sum of the widths of these figure must not exceed \textwidth. Commented Aug 31, 2021 at 11:13
