Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Two Figures with Captions at same Height

[hvn]

Hi,

I want to show two figures next to each other and each with its own caption and label. However, as soon as I place the caption, the second figure automatically moves to the position below. I use the code below without the captions to show both figures next to each other. Can this be done? Thank you.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!ht]
\includegraphics[scale=.35]{mean_tlc}
%\caption{Mean of TLC}
\label{mean_tlc}
\includegraphics[scale=.35]{rms_elat}
%\caption{RMS of e_lat}
\label{rms_elat}
\end{figure}

I think it will work to use a minipage:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
    \rule{2in}{2in}
    \caption{Mean of TLC}
    \label{mean_tlc}
    \end{minipage}
    \hspace{1pc}%
    \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
    \rule{2in}{2in}
    \caption{RMS of e\textunderscore{}lat}
    \label{rms_elat}
    \end{minipage}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

Had to remove the \rule commands, but it works. Thank you.

The rules were there as placeholders for images, since I don't have copies of your graphics.
