Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Tikz Subfigure (\includegraphics) overlaps with text

[Poebelchen]

I have created a tikz figure entailing 3 subfigures in 2 rows. The first row entails an image while the other has two bar graphs next to each other.

- It can be typesetted in Overleaf

My problem: The imported image overlaps with the text above the figure

Thank you!

First of all: Your example is not working because of the character before \documentclass. Please fix it.

Neither the first tikzpicuture nor the \resizebox commands doesn't make sense here. subfigure without \caption also doesn't make much sense.

Please also note, LaTeX automatically replaces figure option h by ht. So option h does not make much sense. I would recommend to use at least hp or htp.

Thanks for your advice. However, if I run your example the 2 bar graph below each other instead of next to each other.

Also the use of minipage produces problems with the margins and text when used with such large figures. I.e. now the caption is only half visible.

Thanks for your advice. However, if I run your example the 2 bar graph below each other instead of next to each other.

If I click to the Run LaTeX here button, the two bar graphs are next to each other. So I cannot reproduce your problem. Sorry.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Hi Poebelchen,

welcome to the forum!

if I run your example the 2 bar graph below each other instead of next to each other.

Also for me it's next to each other. What do you do differently? Perhaps post the .log file as attachment here, if you really run the same code. Perhaps there's an error message (that Overleaf doesn't show you or you don't noticed it) and it compiles anyway but with broken output.

Also the use of minipage produces problems with the margins and text when used with such large figures. I.e. now the caption is only half visible.

That's theoretically somehow, not seen in the example. Would you like to post adjusted code that shows the issue? Your example code in the first post was already very good to see and to test for the first issue.

Hi Stefan, thanks you!
I have by now solved the issues mentioned above. Apparently it worked after I restarted my computer, so maybe there were some intermediates from the old version during the first attempt.
