Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Custom Alignment for Sub-figures

[lasi]

Hi Guys!

I'm new to LaTeX and I'm searching solve a problem with figures alignment. I've searched on the net for an example or a solution but haven't found nothing.

I want to build a figure with a main picture and two small sub-pictures on the right, as in the attachment. The only solution that is similar to what I want to do is:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\includegraphics[width=0.6\textwidth]{S11_vs_gap_in.png} & 
\begin{tabular}{c}
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{S11_frequency_vs_gap_in.png} \\
\includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{S11_vs_Q.png}
\end{tabular}
\end{tabular}
\label{fig:gap_s11}
\end{figure}

But it doesn't solve my problem. I've tried also with the sub-figure option but I can't obtain what I want.

Could someone help me to solve this problem?


Thanks

Hi lasi,

welcome to the board!

You could use the subcaption package, especially if you need captions for the sub pictures.
Otherwise one could use a tabular environment for arranging sub figures.

Thanks for your hint. I've tried also usin multirow and makecell but I'm still not able to do what i want. Using multirow the main picture is aligned vertically at the center instead of the top ruining everything and it's not possible change the vertical alignment for multirow....

If you just would show your own efforts by providing a proper minimal example, we could avoid guesswork and offer concrete help instead. By then this discussion is academic and therefore will lead to nothing.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Do you think that I have to consider this 1 month late comment as useful?

I've been on a vacation for a while. So I discovered this thread only now. And if you expect constructive answers, you should consider it as an approach to retrieve useful information. No more, no less. Due to missing information this thread was orphaned for almost a month. If you are not interested any more in a solution to the problem, just let us know. Otherwise provide useful information in form of code to give us something we can test.

lasi, it's an explanation why you did not get another answer. And this general advice about posting questions should be useful today as well. If you don't understand it, perhaps your next question may remain unanswered too.

Question with a minimal working example, which can be tested, can usually be solved.

I'm glad that you have a great amount of free time, but I'm sorry that you waste it like this. Post closed .

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Giving friendly advice to help seeking people is usually not wasted. Seems just in your case, that we wasted our time. No big problem though, it happens on the internet. So I close and lock the topic. To not let it appear as unsolved, and as the mentioned subcaption package provides a solution, I mark that post as the answer.

edit: Thanks for the addition, Thorsten, I marked your answer as the solution.

Seemingly it is really a waste of time to try to help certain people. m(

But for all those who have the same or a similar problem and may come here by search engine I seize Stefan's suggestion which involves the subcaption package.

Code: Select all

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

\captionsetup{
  font=small,
  labelfont=bf,
  tableposition=top
}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{
  belowskip=1ex
}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.45\linewidth}
      \rule{\linewidth}{1.645\linewidth}
      \caption{First sub-figure}
      \label{subfig-1:dummy}
    \end{subfigure}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\linewidth}
      \begin{subfigure}[b]{\linewidth}
        \rule{\linewidth}{0.75\linewidth}
        \caption{Second sub-figure}
        \label{subfig-2:dummy}
      \end{subfigure}\\
      \begin{subfigure}[b]{\linewidth}
        \rule{\linewidth}{0.75\linewidth}
        \caption{Third sub-figure}
        \label{subfig-3:dummy}
      \end{subfigure}
    \end{minipage}
    \caption{Dummy figure}
    \label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

This certainly needs some adjustments which depend on the use case.
