Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Side by Side Figures

[masarvghadi]

Hi friends,

I am new to LaTeX and I am using two figure side by side. But the problem is that I cannot see the first figure's caption also the second figure's caption is placed under the first figure. Can anyone help me to fix this problem? My code is shown below.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{singleclustertopologyeps}
\caption{Single Cluster Topology}
\label{fig3.1}
\end{minipage}
\hspace{0.1cm}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.75]{chaintopologywithtwohopseps}
\caption{Chain Topology with Two Hops}
\label{fig3.2}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

thank you in advance.

Try using the subfig package

Another way would be using the subcaption package, which belongs to the caption package.

Btw. I see you link to the package folder. We've got some new features, and one small of them is a CTAN button and bbcode syntax, for easy package linking. For any CTAN package, you could write like

Code: Select all

[CTAN]subfig[/CTAN]

or mark the package name and click the CTAN button. This produces the link subfig.

Your code can't work as expected since you try to put more content inside a line than it can take. The calculation is very easy. You have two figures of half the line width and you add 0.1cm of additional horizontal space. Hence this is more than the line width and the second figure goes into the next line. If you reduce the width of both figures to e. g. 0.49\linewidth and replace \hspace{0.1cm} by \hfill, it should work as desired.

Another point is that you use a fixed scaling factor for the included graphics files. This might not match the given widths of the minipage environments, thus also can cause the trouble.

Due to missing information and a missing minimal example advanced help is not possible at the moment.
