Hello. I'm quite new to LaTeX, and having been using the LyX 2.0 interface (on Windows). I've encountered a problem using subfloats for pictures that I have not been able to find and answer to on the internet. I am not sure if my problem is something to do with LaTeX in general, or LyX itself, though I'm leaning to the former.
My problem is: when I try to put two figures into one subfloat, they go automatically side-by-side, no matter what I do, but I want one to be on top of the other. If I do the same thing in just a float, I can easily put the two figures on top of each other. I really need to do the figure-stacking in a subfloat.
See the attached pdf to see what I mean.
I have tried exporting the .lyx file to a .tex file and reading it with TeXworks, but the same thing happens.
Any help about what to do, or how to work around the problem will be greatly appreciated.

Re: Two Sub-floats on top of each other
Hello,
Maybe you've figured this out by now. But I believe this will do what you need it to based on the .pdf file attached.
\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}{\columnwidth}
\includegraphics[width=3.0in]{name1.png}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}{\columnwidth}
\includegraphics[width=3.0in]{name2.png}
\end{minipage}
\caption{...}
\label{two figures stacked}
\end{figure}
I think the key is: \begin{minipage}{\columnwidth}
the columnwidth command is what does the stacking, I believe.
Of course you can change the widths of leave them out.
Good luck!
