I have the following header defined:

\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn,letterpaper]{article}

I then add two figures in different places.

The first one - is "page-wide" and is set with [width=\textwidth]

The next one, which is defined two subsections later, is "column-wide" and is set with [width=\linewidth].

When the PDF paper is created, the first figure is shown as expected, it starts where the first column starts and ends where the second column ends.

The problem is, that when the second one is rendered, as expected, within one of the columns, it is overlapping with the first one and hides almost a half of it.

Is there a way to prevent it?

This is an example for how I created the first figure:

\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{training_main_flow.png}
  \caption{Lalala Lilili}
  \label{fig:TrainingMainFlow}
\end{figure}

    Did you try figure* instead of figure? –  Mar 27 '18 at 22:53
  • No. Shall I simply add a trailing * after the figure keyword? I am quite new to LaTeX.. – AgvaniaRekuva Mar 27 '18 at 22:54

    Only if you are in twocolumn mode and want to use a figure that spans over both columns. –  Mar 27 '18 at 22:55
  • Yes, I've just noticed that when turning the one-column figures into figure*, it ignores my width settings. Changing only the wide one to figure* seems to do the work. Thanks! – AgvaniaRekuva Mar 27 '18 at 22:58

    it does not ignore your width settings it follows them exactly. You are in a single column but you have specified that the image be scaled to \textwidth (which is what it does, even though it does not fit and will overprint the next column or the right hand margin) – David Carlisle Mar 27 '18 at 23:24
