<h3>Wide figures in two-column documents</h3>
<p>Floating figures and tables ordinarily come out the same width as the
page, but in two-column documents they're restricted to the width of
the column. This is sometimes not good enough; so there are alternative
versions of the float environments - in two-column documents,
<code>figure*</code> provides a floating page-wide figure (and <code>table*</code> a
page-wide table) which will do the necessary.
<p>The "<code>*</code>"ed float environments can only appear at the top of a page,
or on a whole page - <code>h</code> or <code>b</code> float placement directives are
simply ignored.
<p>Unfortunately, page-wide equations can only be accommodated inside
float environments. You should include them in <code>figure</code> environments,
or use the <i>float</i> or <i>ccaption</i>package to define a
new float type.
