Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Arrangement of three figures

[tja]

Hi,

My problem is that I want to place three pictures in the same figure. Normally I just use the subfigure package, which works fine. This time however I have one long figure and two small, which I would like to place in the same way as in the attached sketch.

Is there an easy way to do this, still using the subfigure package?

I have searched google and this forum, without any success. Hope someone can help

Eventhough I don't see any reason to include code in this case, I have included my standard subfigure code, which just put all the picture side-by-side:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[h!]
\centering
\subfigure[]{\includegraphics[scale=1]{LongFigure}}
\subfigure[]{\includegraphics[scale=1]{SmallFigure1}}
\subfigure[]{\includegraphics[scale=1]{SmallFigure2}}
\caption{}
\end{figure}

The subfigure package is obsolete for a long time. Its direct successor is subfig. With this it needs only a few code modifications.

I'm quite sure that this has been already solved here, but I can't find it at the moment. So, take a look at the below code based on the subcaption package (from the caption bundle).

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!htb]
    \centering
    \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.45\textwidth}
	  \rule{\linewidth}{\dimexpr 2\linewidth+2\baselineskip+6pt}
      \caption{First}\label{subfig-1:dummy}
    \end{subfigure}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\textwidth}
      \begin{subfigure}[b]{\linewidth}
	    \rule{\linewidth}{\linewidth}
        \caption{Second}\label{subfig-2:dummy}
      \end{subfigure}\\[\baselineskip]
      \begin{subfigure}[b]{\linewidth}
	    \rule{\linewidth}{\linewidth}
        \caption{Third}\label{subfig-3:dummy}
      \end{subfigure}
    \end{minipage}
    \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

Replace the \rule commands by corresponding code for your document. For detail refer to the manuals of the involved packages.

A code example is essential to show what you have tried so far. Code snippets are not very helpful for getting a clue because people are rarely motivated to write something from scratch. So, next time please prepare a self-contained and minimal example to give an adequate problem description. In this case you were saved by the bell because I found something in my archives.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Is there a way to do this without using minipage? The subcaption package doesn't work well with subfig.

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Use either subcaption or subfig, but not both in the same document, since they are for the same purpose. I would prefer subcaption since it's integrated with the useful caption package, and I think subcaption has better hyperref/hyperlink support.
