I want to an image at the bottom of a page in a two column document. Using figure*
causes the image to jump to the bottom of the document. Is there a way to avoid this?
Here is an example:
\begin{figure*}[h]
\includegraphics[width=6 in]{image.png}
\caption{info}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure*}
This results in all the images jumping to the bottom of the document. Using [b]
,[!b]
,[h]
, [!h]
,[ht]
or [!ht]
also results in the images jumping to the bottom of the document. Even if the figures are reduced in size, smaller than text width, I end up with several pages of text and then some pages of figures.
This is what I currently use.
