How can i insert large figure in IEEE template

Question

Please, i have to insert a figure (width 1177, height 437) in IEEE template two columns. Here is my code:

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{./Panel}
\caption{MY Panel}
\label{fig:Panel}
\end{figure}

The problem is that the figure is very large, i can't insert it clearly. Have you an idea please about a solution ?

Answer 1

This works, try changing the width to get image properly aligned within the column.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{./Panel}
\caption{MY Panel}
\label{fig:Panel}
\end{figure}

or

\begin{figure}[htb]
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{./Panel}
\caption{MY Panel}
\label{fig:Panel}
\end{figure}

Answer 2

For me just the scale reduction does the trick.

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering{\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{CDD.PNG}}
    \caption{Types of Infrastructure.}
    \label{CDD}
\end{figure}

Does fit in a column my CDD.PNG of size 75.4KB & 2025x1153 pixels
