I am trying to place an image in the horizontal center of a two-column document.

I tried:

\subsection{title}
\begin{center}
    \begin{wrapfigure}{}{}
    \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{FIGURE.jpg}
    \end{wrapfigure}
\end{center}

but this does not work. Any ideas of how to do it ?

EDIT:

Thanks to @Bernard, I tried: (you have to include \usepackage{cuted} ) 

\begin{strip}
    \begin{figure*}[h]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{FIGURE.jpg}
    \caption{caption}
    \label{label}
    \end{figure*}
\end{strip}

...but it does not work

  • Why do you want wrapfigure if it should be centred? Why not figure? – Bernard Jan 13 '19 at 13:45
  • @Bernard. The document has two columns. I don't see any other method than to use wrapfigure. If I use figure, then this figure will be inserted into a column and not span the two columns. – james Jan 13 '19 at 13:48

    You can use the figure* environment (note that it will be placed at the top of the following page). – Bernard Jan 13 '19 at 13:50
  • @Bernard Thanks. Hmm, I was hoping to avoid that. I would like to place the image where I want. – james Jan 13 '19 at 13:51
  • In this case, use the strip environment, from cuted (sttools bundle). – Bernard Jan 13 '19 at 13:54
  • @Bernard Please have a look at my updated question – james Jan 13 '19 at 14:20

    Remove the figure* environment: strip is not a floating environment, so you should use \captionof{figure}{label}.(load the caption package). After that, it should work. – Bernard Jan 13 '19 at 15:11

    Your question is very unclear but are you looking for this https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/45709/how-do-you-create-pull-quotes – David Carlisle Jan 13 '19 at 16:24
  • You might want to take a look at a brand new package on CTAN: wrapstuff.sty. Currently, the documentation is only in Chinese (though it is possible to see how to use the package) and the package is labelled as experimental. You also need to have an absolutely up-to-date LaTeX installation for this to work. It does work in the simple examples I tried. Quite magical. – sgmoye Jul 22 '22 at 15:45
