Figure Page (all Figures in a Table on one Page)

Post by archels___ »

Hello,

I seem to be having some trouble placing all my (eight) figures in a simple two-column table on a single page.

The alternatives seem to be either a loss of individual labelling, or having to make a subdivision using subfigure (fig 1a,b,c instead of fig 1,2,3).

Using textpos for absolute positioning might be an option, but is there not a better way to do this?

Thanks!

Figure Page (all Figures in a Table on one Page)

In such cases one common approach is to use minipage environments.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-1}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-2}
    \end{minipage}

    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-3}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-4}
    \end{minipage}

    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-5}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-6}
    \end{minipage}

    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-7}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.49\linewidth}
      \centering
      \rule{0.75\linewidth}{0.5\linewidth}  
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-8}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}
A table structure would be another possible approach.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hello,

Using

Code: Select all

\begin{minipage}[t]{0.49\linewidth}
	\vspace{0pt}
to vertically align the images, it works great! Thanks for your suggestion.
