Thank you! Yes, I was using twocolumn text, the graphic was in a wide
float. So I changed that, and it *still* didn't work!
I must be doing something else wrong.

Well, I don't mind that, because this is an illustration, not a Figure
in the strictest sense (I don't want nor have a caption), but since it's
a wide picture, I need to use a wide float for it, otherwise we get a
disaster (with the second column proceeding quite happily as if the
picture isn't there at all!)
