Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ splitting a figure with numerous subfigures over multiple pa

[templateuser]

Hi,

I have 10 subfigures that make up a single figure. I need the subfigures to be in 2 columns and 5 rows and large enough (width=0.43\textwidth) so they can be compared to one another. Each subfigure needs to be labeled, a-j (no double parentheses), on the bottom left corner. The only way I have found that formats the figures and labels correctly is using a tabular environment, but this causes the last of the subfigures and caption to be lost. Is there a way to split the subfigures over 2 pages that meets my requirements? I've tried various suggestions I've found, but none give what I'm looking for.

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers.

Hey Tanya,

Here's a solution using the float and subfig packages:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig1}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:2}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig2}}
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig1}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:2}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig2}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig1}}
\qquad
\caption{Here are the first 5 figures of a continued figure.}
\label{fig:cont}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
\ContinuedFloat
\centering
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig1}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:2}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig2}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig1}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:2}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig2}}
\qquad
\subfloat[]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[width=0.43\textwidth]{fig1}}
\caption{Here are the last 5 figures of a continued figure.}
\label{fig:cont}
\end{figure}

This will print 10 figures on 2 separate pages with consecutive letters for each figure between pages.

This isn't a perfect solution for you because the figure letters are in brackets and centered but I'm sure you can edit it to do exactly what you want.

Good luck!

Cheers,
Vel
