Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ subfig | Multiple Sub-figures

[minidiable]

Hi to all.

I'm using TeXmaker 3.5.2 and I'm trying to write my Master Thesis with it. I have my first need of help.

I would like to display two different figures on the same line and I did it with these command:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}$
\begin{array}{cc}
\includegraphics[width=50mm]{pics/figure1.jpg}&
\includegraphics[width=50mm]{pics/figure2.jpg}
\end{array}$
\end{center}
\caption{Figure caption}
\label{pics:blablabla}
\end{figure}

Now I would like to itemize them. That is, I would like to display for example Figure 3.1(a) and Figure 3.2(b) ... I searched on the web and I found the solution, but I have to download and install the package subfig.

Is there another solution? Or how can I download and install that package?


Thanks,
Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio,

welcome to the board!

You could alternatively use the subcaption package, which is part of the caption package, if you would have that one already installed.

[…] Or how can I download and install that package? […]

Download and installation of a package is usually done by the package manager of your TeX distribution (which you didn't tell us).

As Stefan I also favour the more sophisticated subcaption package from the caption bundle. If you really want to do it with subfig, the below code might serve as some inspiration.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mwe}    % loads »blindtext« and »graphicx«
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \subfloat[First sub-figure\label{subfig-1:dummy}]{%
      \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{example-image-a}
    }
    \hfill
    \subfloat[First sub-figure\label{subfig-2:dummy}]{%
      \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{example-image-b}
    }
    \caption{Dummy figure}
    \label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

The mwe package (when installed) makes the sample images available on your system and loads blindtext and graphicx.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply. and thank you for the welcome.

I don't want to use a specific package.

So I tried to write

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}

But:

Code: Select all

! LaTeX Error: File `subcaption.sty' not found.

How can I do? I'm using TexMaker but I don't know what do you mean for Package manager of my Tex Distribution. Maybe you are talking about another software that I have that is MikTex 2.9 , because if I understood right Texmaker it's only an editor. Right?


Thanks,
Fabrizio

Hi Fabrizio,

I don't want to use a specific package.

That's the way LaTeX works: besides the kernel, it's split into hundreds (basic) and thousands (add-on) packages, so you choose the functions you use instead of having a large software which does all.

that is MikTex 2.9

So it should be easy, MiKTeX has a package manager, you can find it in the start menu.

Thank you. If someone else need it:

Under Windows:
StartMenu->All programs->MikTex2.9->Maintenance->Package Manager...
Then search your package (i.e. "caption") right click and then INSTALL

Thanks.
fabrizio.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{mwe}    % loads »blindtext« and »graphicx«
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \subfloat[First sub-figure\label{subfig-1:dummy}]{%
      \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{example-image-a}
    }
    \hfill
    \subfloat[First sub-figure\label{subfig-2:dummy}]{%
      \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{example-image-b}
    }
    \caption{Dummy figure}
    \label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

Thanks a lot!! I was looking for an answer about this during hours. You save me! Thanks again!!

Hi Lehmer,

welcome to the forum!

Thanks for telling that. Nice to see that Thorsten's solution helped you too. Feel free to post any other question you might have. In that case, just open a new topic.

Best regards,

Stefan
