Drawing Tables (Part 4): Side-by-Side Figures #

Author: Erhua

Keywords: figures, side-by-side

The floating environment in LaTeX does not limit the content of the environment. Therefore, putting several figures in a float can achieve side-by-side or mixed arrangements. Generally, the minipage environment is used to achieve this.

\begin{minipage}[position][height][inner-pos]{width}
text
\end{minipage}

Side-by-Side Figures #

Example 1: Two images with the same height, captions can fit on one line, different captions are used.

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{ctex}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htp]
\begin{minipage}{0.48\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics [height = 3cm]{/Users/fplee/blog/public/xiaobo.png}
\caption{ Xiaobo }
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.48\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics [height = 3cm]{/Users/fplee/blog/public/yeyuqiudeng.jpg}
\caption{ Yeyuqiudeng }
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Example 2: Two images with different heights, captions cannot fit on one line using the above method.

\documentclass[]{article}
\usepackage{ctex}
\usepackage{graphics}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htbp]

\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics [height = 1.5cm]{/Users/fplee/blog/public/yeyuqiudeng.jpg}
\quad
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\centering
\includegraphics [height = 6cm]{/Users/fplee/blog/public/xiaobo.png}
\end{minipage}
\vskip 5mm
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\caption{Yeyuqiudeng}
\end{minipage}
\quad
\begin{minipage}{0.45\textwidth}
\caption{Xiaobo}
\end{minipage}

\end{figure}
\end{document}
