Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Three Figures side-by-side on landscape Page

[aless80]

Hi, could somebody help me aligning three figures on a landscape page? The closer I get is with landscape, minipage and epsfig as in the example below, though I would rather do it with \includefigure
Thanks

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,b5paper]{book}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{epsfig}
%\usepackage{rotating}
%\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage{multirow}
\begin{document}

\begin{landscape}
\begin{figure}[h]
  \hfill
  \begin{minipage}[t]{.3\textwidth}
    \begin{center}  
      \epsfig{file=fig3.eps, scale=0.5}
      \caption{1 landscape minipage epsfigure}
      \label{fig-3}
    \end{center}
  \end{minipage}
  \hfill
  \begin{minipage}[t]{.35\textwidth}
    \begin{center}  
      \epsfig{file=fig4.eps, scale=0.5}
      \caption{2 landscape minipage epsfigure}
      \label{fig-4}
    \end{center}
  \end{minipage}
  \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[t]{.35\textwidth}
    \begin{center}  
      \epsfig{file=figs6/fig5.eps, scale=0.5}
      \caption{3 landscape minipage epsfigure}
      \label{fig-4}
    \end{center}
  \end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}
\end{document}

The epsfig package is obsolete and replaced by the graphicx package [1]. After some modifications I have no problem with the example below (except for some warnings).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,b5paper]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaysfigure}
    \begin{minipage}[t]{.3\textwidth}
      \centering
      \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{fig3}
      \caption{1 landscape minipage epsfigure}
      \label{fig-3}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[t]{.3\textwidth}
      \centering
      \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{fig4}
      \caption{2 landscape minipage epsfigure}
      \label{fig-4}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[t]{.3\textwidth}
      \centering
      \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{figs6/fig5}
      \caption{3 landscape minipage epsfigure}
      \label{fig-5}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}

For your purpose it's perhaps better to use the floatrow package for aligning several floats in a row.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,b5paper]{book}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[margin=1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{floatrow}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{rotating}

\begin{document}
  \begin{sidewaysfigure}
    \begin{floatrow}
      \ffigbox[\FBwidth]{\caption{First landscape minipage figure}\label{fig-3}}{%
        \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{fig3}
      }
      
      \ffigbox[\FBwidth]{\caption{Second landscape minipage figure}\label{fig-4}}{%
        \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{fig4}
      }
      \ffigbox[\FBwidth]{\caption{Third landscape minipage figure}\label{fig-5}}{%
        \includegraphics[scale=0.5]{figs6/fig5}
      }
    \end{floatrow}
  \end{sidewaysfigure}
\end{document}

For details please refer to the package manual.

Thank you very much for the answer, the second example is the closest to what I would like to get, but
1) I cannot display the figure, I get a black quare
2) I cannot resize the figures

1) I cannot display the figure, I get a black quare

This is because of the "demo" package option passed to the graphicx package. It's very useful for MWEs (since no-one on this forum have your graphic files) but of course not useful for the real document.

So simply drop this option and you'll have your images back.

thank you, it is starting to work! Now I am trying to understand how to fix the width of the figures. The manual is so long and complicated.
