I am restricted to a two-column and have a figure that I want to include in \textheight
height with the caption on the other column. The figure spans exactly one column, but I don't know how to let the text fill the remaining white space of the "caption-column" above the caption. That's what I achieved so far:
I highlighted the three different boxes:
- blue: the figure filling an entire column
- yellow: the caption of the figure
- green: white-space to be filled with the normal text body
As you can see, the green box is empty, because it apparently belongs to the figure and the text continues on the next page.
So far, I've been using the SCfigure
environment, but I'm happy to use any other solution:
\begin{SCfigure*}
\includegraphics[height=\textheight]{figurefile}
\caption{my caption text tec.}
\label{fig:myfigure}
\end{SCfigure*}
Is there anything I can do to have the text body floating above the side caption?
UPDATE:
I created a minimal working example:
\documentclass[a4paper,10pt,twocolumn]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{sidecap}
\begin{document}
\lipsum[1-10]
\begin{SCfigure*}
\includegraphics[height=\textheight]{pic.png}
\caption{blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah}
\end{SCfigure*}
\lipsum[1-10]
\end{document}
The corresponding figure pic.png
is available from imgur.
\documentclass
are you using? Would you be so kind as to supply the community with a minimal working example (MWE)?\captionof
into a\parbox
into\afterpage
directly after (or in) the figure environment. But again, I am not sure if that can be made to work or would be reliable.scratcl
