Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Subfigure with RevTeX

[gammapoint]

Hi, I am trying to create a 2x2 array of figures as a single figure in LaTeX. I'd like to have a single caption at the bottom but would like each of the figures in the 2x2 array to have the labels (a), (b), (c), and (d).

This should be easy by following the steps like in the example shown here: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floa ... #Subfloats

However, it gets tricky because I'm using the ReVTeX package, which apparently already has a \caption command in it. So instead I chose to not load the label \caption and instead do

Code: Select all

\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage{caption}                                                           
\usepackage[caption=false]{subcaption}

This mostly works, except now I don't know how to add the labels (a), (b), (c), and (d). If I add a caption in the subfigure environment with no text I would imagine this is what should happen. Instead however, a new FIG number is created at this place and my Figure numbers throughout the paper get incremented by one. I am guessing that this has to do with the fact that now subfigure is not getting to use its caption stuff, and so something is getting messed up in the process.

Any suggestions on how to fix this? I appreciate any help you can give.

You are mistaken in regard to captions. The caption package does not define the \caption command, it lets you customize the appearance of captions. Those captions are defined by the document class.

In order to give an adequate problem description you should prepare a proper minimal example that contains all necessary but only relevant information in form of code.

Since the caption package is incompatible with RevTeX, you cannot use the subcaption package since it is. dependent on the caption package. Furthermore the subcaption package does not offer an option called "caption=false".

So use the subfig package instead, and load it with option "caption=false":

Code: Select all

\usepackage[caption=false]{subfig}
