I am writing a book for my master's degree and currently I can not find a way to put a image on the top of a column. I tried several methods that were here and none fixed my problem.
So, I have:
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}

\end{multicols}{2}
\begin{figure}

\label{Image}
\end{figure}
\begin{multicols}{2}

\end{multicols}{2}
\end{document}
And this appears to me like this:
Then, I tried other options that was to put \begin{figure*} and this did not help either. Adding the extra symbol made all the other images that were in the same chapter go to the bottom, even after the bibliography.
I also tried the next option that I found, hoping to work. But it did not. It went like this:
\documentclass[a4paper]{book}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{float}
\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, ... Viva-mus viverra fermentum felis.
\multicolfloat{1}{2}{\centering
\includegraphics{void.jpg}
\captionof{figure}{A test}
}
Donecnonummy pellentesque ante...Vestibulum diam.
\end{multicols}{2}
\end{document}
This was the result:
One option that made to the column was the one that wrapped the text to the image, but this is not my final desired format. It went exactly like the example of the Overleaf website. My intention is having something similar to this book example.
Overleaf website example:
Book example:
Now, I am short of options and being new to this is not making my life easier. Please, if you have any suggestions that I can try I am willing to. I am using Overleaf if it makes any difference.
Edit: I am looking for the result similar to the book example regarding to image in text.
figurecause empty space in the bottom of the first first column. How big it will be you in the case when image has height about half of text height? Quite ugly result ... You should made your question more clear in the first place. – Zarko Apr 05 '21 at 09:16
