Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Graphics Arrangement

[steinchen]

Dear group,

I have struggled/googled quite a while, but still could not find the solution for. I would like to have three pictures arranged as left, right top, right down, tried subfigure, \mbox, \parbox, not OK, could anyone help?

I appreciate your expertise and any hints!

I got some progress for the problem and it could be partially solved as:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[ht]
	\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
	\centering
	\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{1.jpg}
	\end{minipage} 
	\hspace{0.1cm}   % No empty line before and after
	\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
	\centering
	\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{2.jpg}\\[3mm]
	\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{3.jpg}
	\end{minipage}
	\caption{My caption}
	\label{fig:figure}	
\end{figure}

It is not perfect in case each need a separate caption. But it works for me. Another one solution would be rotate the slender JPG to be horizontal, then it is easy.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I've just come across this problem myself and this is how I managed to get an acceptable output. Adjust lengths to suit your images.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{subfigure} %

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\subfigure[<Subcaption a>]{\label{fig:1a}
\includegraphics[width=0.48\textwidth]{<Fig1a file>}}% First Subfigure full height left side
\quad % Inter subfigure space
% Set up minipage of appropriate width aligning to the bottom to hold right side subfigures
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\textwidth} % 
\subfigure[<Subcaption b>]{\label{fig:1b}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{<Fig1b file>}}% Second subfigure top right side

\subfigure[<Subcaption c>]{\label{fig:1c}
\includegraphics[width=0.9\textwidth]{<Fig1c file>}}% Third subfigure bottom right side
\end{minipage}
\caption[<figure caption>\label{fig:1}} %
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Regards,

The subfigure package is obsolete. Furthermore the {center} environment should be replaced by the \centering declaration command in order to avoid additional vertical space, which is mostly unwanted in cases like this.

It is best to always give a full example so that the solution can be tested instantly.
