Text Formatting ⇒ subfig package

[gkl]

Dear All,

I am using subfig to have four images on two lines, two images per line. Below is my code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
\subfloat[Full Protocol]{\label{fig:42a}\input{xfig/figure42a.pdftex_t}} 
\subfloat[First Protocol]{\label{fig:42b}\input{xfig/figure42b.pdftex_t}}\\
\subfloat[Second Protocol]{\label{fig:42c}\input{xfig/figure42c.pdftex_t}}
\subfloat[Fourth Protocol]{\label{fig:42d}\input{xfig/figure42d.pdftex_t}} \caption{Four Images}
\label{fig:nonimplementableprotocol}
\end{figure}

Now when the code runs, I get the following screenshot:

subfig.gif (14.49 KiB) Viewed 3799 times

i.e. the first image on the second line starts from a lower point than the others.

Could someone give me a pointer as to how to fix this (all figures are drawn in XFig and they are all located at the top left of the file).

Regards,
George

You could add some vertical space in the concerned sub-float after the actual image.

You mean like this?

Code: Select all

\subfloat[Second Protocol]{\label{fig:42c}\input{xfig/figure42c.pdftex_t\vspace*{\medskipamount}}}

?

Unfortunately it did not work. I tried doing this inside the pdftex_t file, but still no luck.

Many thanks for your offer to help.

Try another package like »subcaption« (from the caption bundle) or floatrow. These packages should master vertical alignment.

If the method of localghost didn't work out, there's another workaround by putting a picture environment inside your figure environment. This is explained here.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
\setlength{\unitlength}{1mm}
\centering
\begin{picture}(x,y)
\put(x1,y1){\subfloat[Full Protocol]{\label{fig:42a}\input{xfig/figure42a.pdftex_t}}}
\put(x2,y2){\subfloat[First Protocol]{\label{fig:42b}\input{xfig/figure42b.pdftex_t}}}
\put(x3,y3){\subfloat[Second Protocol]{\label{fig:42c}\input{xfig/figure42c.pdftex_t}}}
\put(x4,y4){\subfloat[Fourth Protocol]{\label{fig:42d}\input{xfig/figure42d.pdftex_t}}} \caption{Four Images}
\label{fig:nonimplementableprotocol}
\end{figure}

It's a bit like trial and error, but eventually will work. You'll need to rebuild your document over and over to find the right values for x,y,x1,y1,x2,and so on.
