Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Text between two Figures Side by Side

[mayankmi]

My query is a bit complicated..

I want to put some text in between the space between two figure which are side by side. For example "+" between figure 1 and figure 2 and = between figure 2 and figure 3. So it will look like figure 1 + figure 2 = figure 3

Code: Select all

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

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!htb]
    \begin{minipage}{0.32\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{x1}
      \caption{Prior 1 without trust factor}\label{fig:x1}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.32\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{x2}
      \caption{Prior 2 without trust factor}\label{fig:x2}
    \end{minipage}
    \hfill
    \begin{minipage}{0.32\textwidth}%
      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{x}
      \caption{Posterior without trust factor}\label{fig:x}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

Well, just do it

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!htb]
    \begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{x1}
      \caption{Prior 1 without trust factor}\label{fig:x1}
    \end{minipage}\
    +
    \begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{x2}
      \caption{Prior 2 without trust factor}\label{fig:x2}
    \end{minipage}\
    =
    \begin{minipage}{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{x}
      \caption{Posterior without trust factor}\label{fig:x}
    \end{minipage}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

Note the demo option I added to graphicx so that the example works without the actual pictures present. Don't use this for your document. Also pay attention to the backslashes (\) following the first two {minipage} environments. Without them LaTeX ignores the white space before the "+" and "=".

Thanks a lot, Klausiber!

You are putting all images in a single {figure} environment? If they belong together, you might want to take a look at the subfig or subcaption package.
