Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ figure inside tabular

[alex.blackbit]

hi,

i have several blocks like this:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
        \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{images/Logo}
        \caption{Logo}
\end{figure}

these should be placed in a normal tabular environment, but it seems i don't know how to do that right.
i tried:

Code: Select all

\begin{tabular}{c}
\begin{figure}[h!]
        \includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{images/GSMLogo}
        \caption{GSM Logo}
\end{figure} \\
\end{tabular}

but this ends in:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: Not in outer par mode.
...
l.8 \begin{figure}[h!]

what do i do wrong ?
thanks in advance for the help.

I think floating environment like figure cannot be put inside tabular.

Lets try the following code, it might be what you need.

I also suggest you to use longtable instead of tabular. Longtable can be split across page, you know?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[draft]{graphicx}
\usepackage{array,longtable}

\begin{document}
\newcolumntype{A}{>{\begin{minipage}[c][7cm][c]{6cm}\centering\arraybackslash}m{6cm}<{\end{minipage}}}
\begin{longtable}{|A|c|c|}\hline
\fbox{\includegraphics[height=4.5cm]{sample}} & sample.eps 					& something\\\hline
\rule{4cm}{4cm} 															& rule of 4cm by 4cm 	& something \\\hline
\end{longtable}
\end{document}

If you are using the tabular environment to have multiple figures arranged on a page, try using the subfig package instead.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{fig1}}\hfill
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.47\textwidth]{fig2}}\\
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{fig3}}\hfill
\subfloat{\includegraphics[width=0.47\textwidth]{fig4}}
\caption{An array of figures}
\label{figs}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
