including SVG graphics using multicol











up vote

I'm in the process of making a poster, and I wanted to include some vectorial svg images in it. I'm also using multicol in it. I followed the instructions from How to include SVG diagrams in LaTeX? to include them, but at compilation I'm getting this error message: "Package multicol: Floats and marginpars not allowed inside `multicols' environment!"
is there a workaround around the problem? Alternatively, do I lose the nice vector scaling transforming .SVG to other formats like EPS or including directly the PDF?
Thanks a lot
EDIT: this is a barebones example of the poster



documentclass[a0,portrait]{a0poster}
usepackage{multicol}
usepackage{svg}
begin{document}
begin{multicols}{2}
begin{figure}
centering
input{tri.pdf_tex}
end{figure}
end{multicols}
end{document}


tri.pdf_tex was generated using



inkscape -D -z --file=tri.svg --export-pdf=tri.pdf --export-latex'

    Welcome to TeX.SE! Please provide us with a minimal example that shows the issue, i.e. a document that starts with documentclass and ens with end{document}.

    You probably put it in a figure environment which is not allowed within multicol. Simply remove that environment and if you need a caption use captionof. Concerning conversion: PDF is also a vector graphics format…
