Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ placing captons of subfloats at their right side

[salma]

How can I place the captions of subfloats(subfigures) at their right side?

Are you aware of this book?

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX

It has a section on figures and floats and says this on side captions:

Side captions

It is sometimes desirable to have a caption appear on the side of a float, rather than above or below. The sidecap package can be used to place a caption beside a figure or table. The following example demonstrates this for a figure by using a SCfigure environment in place of the figure environment. SCfigure does not accept the usual figure arguments.

With this text they show a picture of a giraffe with a caption on the right.

I can really recommend this book.

Am using it now. Check out http://www.ctex.org/documents/packages/ ... idecap.pdf for more details on the sidecap package. I have an image with a small caption, so I use

There is also options for placing the captions on alternate sides when on inner or outer pages of a book, or on one side throughout the document.

As far as I can see the OP asked for this feature in sub-floats. The sidecap package is definitely not capable, only for floats. And I'm not aware of any other package.

As far as I remember the floatrow package is able to do that.
