Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to align two mini-page pictures?

[lukaszskowron96]

Hi. My problem is very simple, as you can see on the picture below, the two pictures are not perfectly aligned i.e. right hand one is higher than left hand one. How can I align them?

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{shapesrs1}
\subcaption{Example foundation with \(R=\frac{1}{\pi} \approx 0.32\)}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.7\textwidth]{shapesrs2}
\subcaption{\(\left. R_{RSmax}=\frac{B_{i}^2}{\pi r_{o}^2}\right\vert_{r_{o}=\frac{\sqrt{2}B_{i}}{2}}=\frac{2}{\pi}\approx0.64\)}
\end{minipage}
\caption{Ring foundations with central square perforation}
\end{figure}

Thanks,

Lukasz

Have a look at the subcaption package.
Its \subcaptionbox commad may just be, what you're after.

I got an error:

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
$
l.524 {\includegraphics{shapesrs2}}

?

after using this code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\subcaptionbox{Example foundation with \(R=\frac{1}{\pi} \approx 0.32\)}
{\includegraphics{shapesrs1}}
\subcaptionbox{\(\left. R_{RSmax}=\frac{B_{i}^2}{\pi r_{o}^2}\right\vert_{r_{o}=\frac{\sqrt{2}B_{i}}{2}}=\frac{2}{\pi}}
{\includegraphics{shapesrs2}}
\caption{Ring foundations with central square perforation}
\end{figure}

Also had to change to \usepackage{caption} instead of \usepackage[center]{caption} and now captions are not centered for some figures.

I actually added some white space under the picture in the .png file and now they are aligned
