Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ how to get side caption for subfloat figures

[halcyon7]

Hi all,

currently im using the subfig package to get multiple images displayed, but the caption is at the bottom and i'd like to have it on the right hand side.

i have attempted to use sidecap package -- but seems like its not compatible
i tried with floatrow package as well but the examples are a bit confusing to understand..

anyone can help?

my code is below..


\begin{figure}
\centering

\subfloat[]{\label{....}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{.....jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%
\subfloat[]{\label{....}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{.....jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%
\subfloat[]{\label{....}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{.....jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%
\subfloat[]{\label{....}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{.....jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%

\caption{...}
\label{...}

\end{figure}
\end{document}

Neither the sidecap nor the subfig package are capable of doing this.

So you either have to understand the floatrow documentation, or can take a peek at the subcaption documentation. The subcaption package has a command called \subcaption which can be placed wherever you like, but by using this (instead of the floatrow package) you have to do the alignment for yourself, e.g. by using minipages or parboxes.

Thanks for the reply..

I've tried what you've suggested in your document but it doesnt seem to compile for some reason...

\begin{document}
\begin{minipage}{\textwidth} \captionsetup{type=figure}%
\centering
\subfloat[]{\label{.......}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{......jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%
\subfloat[]{\label{.......}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{......jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%
\subfloat[]{\label{.......}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{......jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%
\subfloat[]{\label{.......}\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{......jpg}}\hspace{0.5cm}%

\caption{....}
\label{......}
\end{minipage}
\end{document}

Please reveal what exactly I've suggested in what document of mine. And what "doesnt seem to compile" means, do you get an error message? If yes: What error message? Are you able to give us a small, but complete sample document?

Furthermore I don't understand the relationship between your problem and changing the figure environment to a minipage environment. Is this a new problem you try to solve? If yes, please start a new thread with it.
