Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Arranging figures

[nico]

Hello,

I want to arrange 4 of my gnuplottex figures on a page. So I tried this minimal example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,captions=nooneline]{article}

\usepackage{gnuplottex}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage[a4paper, portrait, left=2.5cm, right=3cm, top=2cm, bottom=2cm, includefoot, marginpar=2cm]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{landscape}
\begin{figure}

	\begin{minipage}[t]{.4\textwidth}
		\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]
			plot  sin(x)
		\end{gnuplot}
	\end{minipage}
	%\hfill
	\begin{minipage}[t]{.4\textwidth}
		\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]
			plot  sin(x)
		\end{gnuplot}		
	\end{minipage}
	\\
	\begin{minipage}[t]{.4\textwidth}
		\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]
			plot  sin(x)
		\end{gnuplot}	
	\end{minipage}
	%\hfill
	\begin{minipage}[t]{.4\textwidth}
		\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]
			plot  sin(x)
		\end{gnuplot}	
	\end{minipage}
	
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}

\end{document}

But the figures are overlapping horizontally. When i use \hfill, the second figure is partially not on the page.

Could someone help me, please?

I suggest to use packages like floatrow or »subcaption« (shipped with caption) to arrange sub-figures. For a landscape figure that occupies a whole page I suggest the sidewaysfigure environment from the rotating package.

Thank you, Thorsten! Unhappily I am not satisfied.

With sidewayfigure I got it working:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,captions=nooneline]{article}

\usepackage{gnuplottex}
\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage[a4paper, portrait, left=2.5cm, right=3cm, top=2cm, bottom=2cm, includefoot, marginpar=2cm]{geometry}

\begin{document}

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
	\begin{minipage}[t]{.4\textwidth}
		\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]plot  sin(x)\end{gnuplot}
	\end{minipage}
	\\
	\begin{minipage}[t]{.4\textwidth}
		\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]plot  sin(x)\end{gnuplot}
	\end{minipage}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

\end{document}

But now I recognized, that I do not want to have a seperate page for the images. I also want to have text on the page, but this should not be landscaped.

I tried to understand the floatrow package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,a4paper,captions=nooneline]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{gnuplottex}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\begin{floatrow}
	\ffigbox{\caption{test}}{\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]plot sin(x)\end{gnuplot}}
	\ffigbox{\caption{test}}{\begin{gnuplot}[terminal=pdf,scale=.8]plot sin(x)\end{gnuplot}}
\end{floatrow}
\end{figure}
test test
\end{document}

But I get errors when I use gnuplot as object:

• ! Argument of \verbatim@ has an extra }.
• ! Paragraph ended before \verbatim@ was complete.
• ! Extra }, or forgotten \endgroup.

And also the figures are not rotated yet. Can you fix this for me, please?

Edit: I accepted, that it is stupid to use a landscaped figure and normal text on the same page. My question was answered, I have a new approach so I'll open a new thread for that. Thanks again, Thorsten!
