I'd like to insert a picture (figure) into a document which is using a two-column layout. However, I want it to take one whole page and not be centered on one of the columns. Currently if I add a [p] modifier to the figure, the whole image lands on the last page, instead in the middle of the document.
How can I force one page to switch back to a single-column layout and insert a single big picture there?

Give the \onecolumn command just before the section whose structure you need to change (but this section has to start on a new page, that is, after a \newpage command). To switch back to 2 columns, use \twocolumn the same way.
Use the figure* environment. So instead of
\begin{figure}[ht] % I typically use ht \centering ... \end{figure} you should use
\begin{figure*}[ht] \centering ... \end{figure*} This also works for tables (i.e. table*). Hope this helps! Consider this link for more information
