[pedrovg2]

I want to put two imagem side to side. How can I do this?


Thanks

If they are independent figures, you can use minipage environments. If they are subfigures, use the subfig package.

A little example of the former situation:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\noindent\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
  \centering
  \rule{.7\linewidth}{1cm}
  \captionof{figure}{Test figure 1}
  \label{fig:testfig1}            
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
  \centering
  \rule{.7\linewidth}{1cm}
  \captionof{figure}{Test figure 2}
  \label{fig:testfig2}            
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

I used \rule commands only to simulate actual figures.

Hi pedrovg2,

perhaps see de-tex-faq 6.1.6 for an example. It's in german, but the tex code should be understanable.

I don't solve this yet. I don't know where I have to give the arquive of the imagem, where i have to put pegend etc.

Thanks

Hi,

gmedina has given a complete example above.
Just replace \rule (simulating the image) by \includegraphics{imagename}.

Don't forget \usepackage{graphicx} in your preamble. You may have a look at the graphics guide page 9.
