Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ space between figures

[rajini]

Hello all,
I want to place one figure (spanned textwidth) top, and just below that figure two figures side by side. And all these three figures will have a single caption...I succeeded in doing..But when i tried to adjust the space between the top and bottom two figure i failed..if i increase using

Code: Select all

\vspace{}

command what happens is the space between caption and figures is increasing...why is happens like this:
my snippets/codes below:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!t]
     \begin{minipage}[h]{1.0\linewidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{xomp}
     \end{minipage}
\vspace{0.00mm}
    \begin{minipage}[h]{0.5\linewidth}
       \centering
       \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{ins}
     \end{minipage}
\hspace{0.00mm}
    \begin{minipage}[h]{0.5\linewidth}
       \centering
       \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{spc}
    \end{minipage}
\caption{Top: schematic sketch. Bottom: two figures.}
\label{fig:furt}
\end{figure}

the first

Code: Select all

\vspace{0.00mm}

in the above snippets making problems..if you increase the value...the space between the caption and figure increases but not the space between upper fig. and lower two figures..
thanks.

Hi,

simply leave a blank line before and another one after the \vspace command.

Hi Gmedina,

thanks problem solved. One blank line before and after the first

Code: Select all

\vspace{0.00mm}

command is helpful.
