Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Multiple figures

[kotoko]

Hello!

Does anybody know how to have several figures side by side with separated captions? (something like this http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floa ... #Subfloats)

The solution in the wikibook is not working for me because if I use the package subfig a lot of references stop working.

Using a figure float with a table inside is not good either because I need separated caption (at least I don't know how to put separated captions inside a table).

Anybody knows a work around?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

try the subcaption package.

You mean with the solution of a figure float with a table inside?

It turns out that the resulting layout is much worse with the table

Is there no equivalent of the subfig package?

I don't know nothing about a table... where did you get the idea of a table from? You can use the subcaption package as the following example suggests:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{.3\linewidth}
    \centering
    \rule{3cm}{3cm}
    \caption{First subfigure}\label{fig:suba}
  \end{subfigure}%
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{.3\linewidth}
    \centering
    \rule{3cm}{3cm}
    \caption{Second subfigure}\label{fig:subb}
  \end{subfigure}
  \begin{subfigure}[b]{.3\linewidth}
    \centering
    \rule{3cm}{3cm}
    \caption{Third subfigure}\label{fig:subc}
  \end{subfigure}
  \caption{A figure with three subfigures}\label{fig:test figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I used black rectangles in my example to simulate actual figures, but (once you have loaded the graphicx package) you can use the standard \includegraphics command.
