Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Placement of Figures and Tables

[ijourneaux]

I am new to LaTeX but trying to learn quickly. I am using LaTeX (MikTeX on PC) to format a report based on data generated by Octave (similar to MatLab). I report has a header and footer 1 table and 3 figures, all on one page. I included a straw man figure showing what I would like the reprot to look like.

I have tried using {minipage} but I can't figure out how to get enough control over the positioning.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

This will not help you too much, but if I were you I would use Octave to compile one figure that consists of all other figures and include it as one figure in Latex. Positioning Figures in Latex is quite complicated but feasible.

I had not thought of that approach so will give it a try. Thanks for the comment.

I looked at trying to arrange the figures using GNUPlot and that seemed to open up another can of worms.

So back to the original question, how do I use LaTeX to arrange the figures on a page in a fashion similar to that shown in the attachment.

Appreciate any help.

A combination of the tabular environment and the multirow package will do what you want

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt]{article}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}

\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{cc}
    \begin{tabular}{ccc}
      Distance & Column 1 & Column 2\\
      1        &    0     &    0    \\
    \end{tabular} & \multirow{3}{*}{\includegraphics[height=0.5\textheight,width=0.1\textwidth]{thin_figures}}\\
    \includegraphics{figure1}\\
    \includegraphics{figure2}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

Obviously you will have to manually adjust the scaling of each figure.
