Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ images side by side

[rishavharsh]

I need to put the text on the left side and the figure on the right side. If this gets resolved then i would use it for placing two figures side by side. however right now it is coming one on top of other. Any help ?

Code: Select all

\begin{center}
\begin{minipage}[h]{0.4\textwidth}
.....
....%some content
\end{minipage}

\hfill

\begin{minipage}{0.5\textwidth}
\vspace{0pt}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{.....%some figure....}
\end{minipage}
\end{center}

You are using blank lines, which in LaTeX are used to mark paragraph breaks. A paragraph starts on a new line.


A complete example, click on Open in writelatex (which is now overleaf) to directly see the output.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{mwe}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{example-image-a}\quad%
\includegraphics[width=.45\linewidth]{example-image-b}%
\end{center}
\blindtext

\begin{figure}
\centering
\subcaptionbox{wobblng whale}{
\includegraphics[width=.6\linewidth]{example-image-16x9}
}
\subcaptionbox{samba Snake}{
\includegraphics[width=.3\linewidth]{example-image-1x1}
}
\caption{As you can see, the whale is larger
than a snake}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

What are "mwe" and "subcaption" used for ?

[Johannes_B]

That question can be answered with Read the fine manual The most reliable information about a package can be found in its documentation.

Package mwe is helpful for generating minimal working examples, a very helpful thing to show some specific behaviour. Also helpful for troubleshooting.

Package subcaption is needed if you want to have different images with captions for each.
