Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Subfigures in sub fig package appear vertically

[Compaq]

Hi,

I am trying to generate three subfigures using the subfig package. However, instead of my subfigures being aligned horizontally, they are placed vertically. There's a MWE at the end of my post that demonstrates my problem.

I appreciate any help I can get.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}

\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering

\subfloat[Kohler illumination + white light. This image is a good representation of the sample.]{
	\label{subfig:correct}
	\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{correct} } 

\subfloat[Kohler illumination + not white light: The colors, brightness, and contrast are way off.]{
	\label{subfig:notwhitelight}
	\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{wronglight} } 

\subfloat[Not kohler illumination + white light. Notice the black spot suddenly appearing (lower left corner) that has nothing to do with the sample]{
	\label{subfig:nonkohler}
	\includegraphics[width=0.3\textwidth]{nonkohler}} 
	
\caption{Three subfigures}
\label{kohler}

\end{figure}

\end{document}

Never mind, the problem was resolved when I added \hfill in-between the images!

Nearly everything between the images would have solved your problem. But you had an empty line between them which indicated TeX that you would like to start a new paragraph, and therefore your three images appeared vertically aligned, just like three paragraphs.

So if you want an empty line in your source file for aesthetic reasons but don't want to start a new paragraph, use % instead, e.g.:

Code: Select all

\subfloat{.....}
%
\subfloat{.....}
