Aye, that is exactly true for the figure environment. However, I was referring to the figure* environment (note the asterisk) which is used when setting a figure that spans a full page in a document with multiple columns. Under these conditions, I recall there being some gotchas such as the figure having to appear at the top or bottom of the page and one pagebreak having to pass before it appears. -Charlie ----- Charlie Sharpsteen Undergraduate-- Environmental Resources Engineering Humboldt State University -- View this message in context: http://n4.nabble.com/Page-width-figures-in-Latex-tp1694612p1694686.html Sent from the R help mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________ R-help@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help PLEASE do read the posting guide http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code.
