Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figures Side by Side extended into Margin

[abclatex]

Hi guys,

I have some problems of figures side by side.

1. How to place figures like the "image1"? If someone could tell me how to manage them like "image2" (one figure occupies the body and has the same width as that of the body, while another occupies the margin and has the same width to that of the margin.), it could be perfect.
2. How to place the figure caption directly under the figure? You can say the caption 2 of image 1 or 3 is at the wrong place.

Thanks a lot!

Is this a one-time occasion where you need a text figure and a margin figure side by side or will you figures always come in pairs? Should the figures be able to float like standard figures or should they be fixed?

Regards

Thanks for your reply, Cgnieder.

It' not one-time stuff. I need to place two or three figures side by side many times but not in every case. It's better to adopt float figures, I guess, since the paper has not done yet.

If I move the page layout codes, the overlapping would disppear. However I have to keep these layout codes.

Nice, but marginnote is unmaintained. And manual figure numbers are not optimal.

One more suggestion using the KOMA-Script feature package scrextend to provide addmargin* and \ifthispagewasodd also for the standard class book. Users of a KOMA-Script class do not need to load the package.
