I am trying to insert two pictures side by side in a two column document.
This works fine, but inserts only in one column:
\begin{figure}
\hfill
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=0.50]{g/M1.pdf}}
\hfill
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=0.50]{g/M2.pdf}}
\hfill
\caption{Title for both}
\end{figure}
But if I change it to figure*, Latex moves both of my pictures to the bottom of the page. What should I do to keep them on the same page, but span two columns?
\begin{figure}[h]? In other words, you didn't specify the placement of your figure... – Vivi Dec 14 '12 at 3:31.../M1.pdf}}%to avoid an extra space. -and you need the placement specifiers. – Hans-Peter E.

I don't know whatwidth=0.50does (even though I implemented it) but I'm not sure if you intendedscale=0.5(ie half the natural size of the image) orwidth=0.5\textwidth(half the width of the text line) – David Carlisle Dec 14 '12 at 9:29
