Placing a figure in one-column within a two-column document

Question

This is the code in which I have the texts in two-column mode, but I want the figure to be placed in one-column without a page-break

\begin{figure}[ht]
\onecolumn\includegraphics[width=\columnwidth]{Capture.PNG}
  \caption{A system}
  \label{fig:1}

\end{figure}
\twocolumn

I would say that this is a duplicate of this: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/3173/how-to-make-a-figure-span-on-two-columns-in-a-scientific-paper ... (Didn't marked as dupplicate but found in two steps by searching "two column figure"...). My comment is just an advice of searching before posting a question.

You mean something like this?

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
    \twocolumn
    \lipsum
    \begin{figure*}
        \includegraphics{example-image}
    \end{figure*}
\lipsum
\end{document}

to get:

you have used figure* with [ht] which is the same as [t] as [h] is not supported, so the effect of the optional argument is to prevent the use of [p] and so make it much more likely the figure goes to the end of the document – David Carlisle Mar 15 '19 at 11:16
@DavidCarlisle I just copied the float argument from the OP's snippet. Could you please tell me what I must do here? should I just change it to t instead? – Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 15 '19 at 11:18

@Raaja just delete [ht] – David Carlisle Mar 15 '19 at 11:20
@DavidCarlisle thanks for the remark and it's done. – Raaja_is_at_topanswers.xyz Mar 15 '19 at 11:21
