General ⇒ Insert figures into a table

[kostoglotov]

Hi there,
I am new to LaTeX. It is brilliant but I have encountered some problems.. Currently: I would like to create a table with figures in it. Figures on the left hand side and next to it some description... Can anyone help with that?
Cheers,
a.k.

Take this as an extendible example.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[BCOR13mm,DIV15]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{array,booktabs}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
  \begin{table}[!ht]
    \centering
    \begin{tabular}{m{4cm}m{10cm}}\toprule
      \begin{tikzpicture}
        \draw[gray,very thin] (-2,-2) grid (2,2);
        \shade[ball color=blue] (0,0) circle (1cm);
      \end{tikzpicture}
      & \blindtext \tabularnewline\midrule
      \begin{tikzpicture}
        \draw[gray,very thin] (-2,-2) grid (2,2);
        \shade[ball color=purple] (0,0) circle (1cm);
      \end{tikzpicture}
      & \blindtext \tabularnewline\midrule
      \begin{tikzpicture}
        \draw[gray,very thin] (-2,-2) grid (2,2);
        \shade[ball color=green] (0,0) circle (1cm);
      \end{tikzpicture}
      & \blindtext \tabularnewline\bottomrule
    \end{tabular}
    \caption{Table with graphics and decriptions}\label{tab:gfxtable}
  \end{table}
\end{document}

More information about the used packages is available on CTAN. Further extensions of the tabular environment are given by tabularx and tabulary.
