Two Figures in same Column

Post by thekappe »

Hello guys !

I have a problem. I want to put two figures on the same page in one column.

I have tried the easy way:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure} 
 \includegraphics{fig1} 
 \includegraphics{fig2} 
\end{figure}
But I have noticed that the images are not centered in the page. The first one is aligned at the top of the page and the second one is aligned at the end of the first one.

So I have searched something like this.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
 \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,keepaspectratio]{fig1}
  \caption{first}
 \end{minipage}
 \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=\textheight,keepaspectratio]{fig2}
  \caption{second}
 \end{minipage}
\end{figure}
But it puts the figures in a row not in a column.

Someone can help me?

Thank you very much!
