I am using the IEEE Access template to prepare my manuscript. I do not want the images to auto-fit, and I want to keep my figures and tables where their commands are written. I am using \begin{figure*}[H] with \usepackage{float}, but it makes the figure disappear. Is there any way to prevent the figure from being movable?

  • Hi, welcome! Full-width figures in two columns documents can only be placed at the top of the page, for a lot of (reasonable in my opinion) reasons. See also https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/632031/38080 – Rmano Sep 18 '23 at 12:45

    Mandatory reading (long, but very important if you want to "grok" floating (figures, table, etc.) in LaTeX: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39017/how-to-influence-the-position-of-float-environments-like-figure-and-table-in-lat – Rmano Sep 18 '23 at 12:48
  • Is there any way to fix the page then? – Mak Raiaan Sep 18 '23 at 12:52

    See "Double-column floats are always deferred first" in https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/39017/how-to-influence-the-position-of-float-environments-like-figure-and-table-in-lat. Basically, at the end of your work, you can move the figure* around until you got what you want (remember to compile twice each time around). There is no direct method, at least not in LaTeX. – Rmano Sep 18 '23 at 12:57
  • An additional comment: if you think about submitting the paper at the end, don't do that. They will reformat your article with something that's not LaTeX anyway, and they'll decide the figure positions, so... spare yourself the struggle – Rmano Sep 18 '23 at 12:59
  • Thank you so much for your help. – Mak Raiaan Sep 18 '23 at 13:29
