Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Minipage of table and figure

[dyuxta]

How do I make a minipage - to set a table and a figure side by side?

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[ht]
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\linewidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{ | l | r | r | r |}
    \hline
    Student & Hours/week & Grade \\ \hline \hline	
    Ada Lovelace & 2 & A \\ \hline
    Linus Thorvalds & 8 & A \\ \hline
    Bruce Willis & 12 & F \\ \hline
    Richard Stallman & 10 & B \\ \hline
    Grace Hopper & 12 & A \\ \hline
    Alan Turing & 8 & C \\ \hline
    Bill Gates & 6 & D \\ \hline
    Steve Jobs & 4 & E \\ \hline
   \end{tabular}
    \caption{Student Database}
    \label{table:student}
\end{minipage}
\end{table}

\begin{figure}[ht]
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.45\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=40mm]{figures/studentdatabasegraph.png}
\caption{2-D scatterplot of the Student Database}
\label{ }
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

Hi and welcome,

tables usually have captions on top of them.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[demo]{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
	\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
		\caption{Student Database}
		\label{table:student}
		\centering
		\begin{tabular}{lrr}
			\toprule
			Student          & h/week & Grade \\
			\midrule
			Ada Lovelace     & 2      & A \\
			Linus Thorvalds  & 8      & A \\
			Bruce Willis     & 12     & F \\
			Richard Stallman & 10     & B \\
			Grace Hopper     & 12     & A \\
			Alan Turing      & 8      & C \\
			Bill Gates       & 6      & D \\
			Steve Jobs       & 4      & E \\
			\bottomrule
		\end{tabular}
	\end{minipage}\hfill
	\begin{minipage}{0.45\linewidth}
		\centering
		\includegraphics[width=40mm]{figures/studentdatabasegraph.png}
		\captionof{figure}{2-D scatterplot of the Student Database}
		\label{ }
	\end{minipage}
\end{table}
\end{document}

Adding a resizebox to the table lets you scale it as necessary

\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\begin{table}
	\begin{minipage}{0.4\linewidth}
		\caption{Caption }
		\label{tab:le}
		\centering
		\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
		\begin{tabular}[width=\linewidth]{@{}lll@{}}
    \toprule
    \textbf{Student} & \textbf{week} & \textbf{grade} \\ 
    \midrule
    Ada Lovelace & 2 & A \\
			Linus Thorvalds & 8 & A \\
			Bruce Willis & 12 & F \\
			Richard Stallman & 10 & B \\
			Grace Hopper & 12 & A \\
			Alan Turing & 8 & C \\
			Bill Gates & 6 & D \\
			Steve Jobs & 4 & E \\
    \bottomrule
    \end{tabular}}
	\end{minipage}\hfill
	\begin{minipage}{0.6\linewidth}
		\centering
		\captionof{figure}{Caption_2}
		\label{figu:re}
		\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{Figs/Pair1.PNG}
	\end{minipage}
\end{table}

Adding a resizebox to the table lets you scale it as necessary

In the example Johannes has shown, scaling is not necessary.

Moreover, the standard tabular environment does not understand an optional argument [width=\linewidth]. Moreover, \resizebox not only scales the text (often in an ugly way), it also scales the thickness of the rules. You should avoid it. I would suggest to use a smaller font, if you need to make the tabular smaller.
