Hi, I'm trying to use PDF+Latex files generated by Inkscape in an IEEE 2 column paper, and I want the figure to span both columns.
Usually, I would just use \begin{figure*} (i.e., with the asterisk). How do I do the same with the PDF+Latex?

I hope this was the right place to ask. Thanks in advance.

Nevermind, this was a silly question. I'm still supposed to be using \begin{figure*}, and it all works the same. Any moderator, feel free to delete this thread.

Welcome user_bean!
Glad you got it "figured" out! (pun intended )

No worries. We'll leave it in place, because someone else might have the same problem, and be able to find the answer here
