I am using double column format and want to put my PDF figure on whole page. I want to put my PDF figure in between text, but my picture is displaying on last page of file when i generated the latex PDF. and using following command which is given below. How i can fix my PDF picture position???

\begin{figure*}[!ht]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=1\textwidth]{Figure6.pdf}
    \caption{Taxonomy of SDN based smart building.}
    \label{fig:mesh1}
\end{figure*}

  • Why are you putting your picture inside a floating (figure) environment, if you don't want it to float? Also: please make a compilable example → What is a minimal working example (MWE) – DG' Jan 28 '19 at 17:23
  • the only reason to use a figure environment is to allow latex to move it, and as you have used the optional argument to specify that it may not be placed on a page of figures, it is quite likely to go to the end of the document. add p to the option or perhaps just remove the option altogether. – David Carlisle Jan 28 '19 at 17:23
  • The question is unclear by the lack of a MWE but it is not answered in the question linked as duplicate. Of the nine answers there, none cover the special case of thefigure* float in a two column document. However I am sure that there are answers covering this specific case elsewhere ... – Fran Jan 28 '19 at 17:42
  • @DavidCarlisle "I am using a double column format" maybe mean 1-col with multicol, but assuming a true 2-col, just because [h] is superfluous in this type of float, have no sense link now this question to answers that are all about fixing position using [!h] (already tried by the OP without success) or worse, [H] (that in this case, can remove the float instead of fix the positions). Of course, add another answer there resolve the contradiction, ... – Fran Jan 29 '19 at 00:20
  • @DavidCarlisle ... but what about the answers of https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/368080/image-disappears-in-figure-environment-when-using-h or even the comments of ttps://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/303212/force-figure-placement-in-twocolumn-elsarticle – Fran Jan 29 '19 at 00:22
  • @Fran sorry when coming back to this question after your ping I missed the OPs comment about 2-col I will delete the comment above to avoid confusion, but as I say I think it's Ok to be a dup, unless you want to add a 2-col answer here rather than there, in which case I'll vote to re-open (which will re-open) – David Carlisle Jan 29 '19 at 01:22
  • @DavidCarlisle Leave it closed. I did not intend to answer, but as unwarily I have involved myself, so finally I left an attempt of answer in the other question. – Fran Jan 29 '19 at 04:41
