LateX: text mixed with image

Bylos -

Hello,

I am currently getting started with LaTeX, and I am encountering a problem when inserting images into the text, a problem that I cannot seem to shake off:
My text takes the form of an article written in two columns per page, and I would like to insert an image at some points that takes up the entire width of the page.
In the first column, no problem, the text “wraps” around the image, but in the second column, it seems that LaTeX does not take into account the fact that there is an image in the middle, so the text of the article overlaps with the image.

How can I prevent the text from being displayed over the area of the image?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Best regards,
Bylos

    Hello;
    You just need to replace figure with figure* as below.

    \begin{figure*}[tbph]
    \begin{center}
    \includegraphics[width=7.5cm,height=3.5cm]{figure.eps}
    \end{center}
    \caption{Figure name}
    \label{figure1}
    \end{figure*}

      Indeed, I had the same issue and it works very well with "figure*". I am actually surprised to have never seen this in the LaTeX guides...
      Thanks anyway!

    Here is an example

    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{float}

    \begin{figure*}[H]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{Figures/FormatResolutionH264.eps}
    \caption{CIF format, defined by ITU, and its derived formats}
    \label{Fig.ResolutionIUT}
    \end{figure*}

      It doesn't work with this code, my image is no longer displaying.
      I'm using: \documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
