[comp.text.tex] Two column figures in single column document

vanwyk@author.ecn.purdue.edu (Kenric D VanWyk) (04/02/91)

A while back, someone posted a question like this, but I failed to
save it, and I don't recall see additional postings on the topic.
(Plus, at the time, I didn't have an interest in the subject, but
now I need to do it to)

I would like to do the following:


blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Figure 1 blah blah

---------------------------       -----------------------
|                         |       |                     |
|                         |       |                     |
|                         |       |                     |
|                         |       |                     |
---------------------------       -----------------------

      Figure 1                            Figure 2

blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Figure 2 blah blah



It seems like this could be a fairly difficult thing to do.  You
would want to make sure somehow that references to Figure 1 and
Figure 2 were not to far away from their actual locations.  I am
writing a paper and will be limited on space.  I would like to take
advantage of the above technique to fit as much in as possible.  So
how do you do it?

Please e-mail to vanwyk@ecn.purdue.edu, I'll post a summary.

Thanks,
kenric
