Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ pstricks and subfigures

[tonie]

Hello again,
currently I tried to handle two pspictures in subfigures. I would like to have them next to each other. However, it does not work properly. Right now, Latex compiles it and arrange my pspicture among each others Do you know whether there are any problems between pstricks and subfigure?

Here is my simple code:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,a4paper,11pt]{document}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\usepackage{pst-coil}
\usepackage{pst-node}
\usepackage{subfigure}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\subfigure[test2]{
\psset{unit=0.5cm}
\begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-1.25)(5,1.25)
\cnode(0.5,0.5){0.5}{A}
\cnode[fillstyle=solid,fillcolor=lightgray](3.5,2.5){0.5}{B}
\nccoil[coilwidth=0.3]{<->}{A}{B}
 \end{pspicture}
\label{fig:subfig2}
}

\subfigure[test1]{
 \psset{unit=0.5cm}
 \begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-1.25)(10,1.25)
 \psplot[linecolor=blue,linewidth=1.5pt,plotpoints=500] {0}{5.424}{ x dup add RadtoDeg sin }
 \psaxes[xunit=0.785,showorigin=false, trigLabels]{->}(0,0)(-1,-1.25)(7.8,1.25)
 \end{pspicture}
\label{fig:comwa}
}

\label{fig:bliblablup}
\caption{test1 und test2}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Cheers, tonie

Hi there,

I never worked with pspicture, but from the code you gave, I would say your problem comes from the sizing of the picture.

Subfigure environment will fit the pictures next to each other as far as possible. If the pictures would overfill the page, then one picture is put underneath the other ones.

I believe to solve your problem, you would need to make sure that your pictures created with pspicutres are not more than 1\textwidth in total.

Cheers

Alternatively to the suggestions of fatra2 you can modify the type area with the geometry package.

Since the subfigure package is considered obsolete and the subfig package isn't maintained any more, you should think about using subcaption which comes with the caption package. It has its own manual and is very easy to handle.

Note that the [url=p://ctan.org/pkg/pstricks-add]pstricks-add[/url] package has to be loaded as the last package from the [url=p://ctan.org/pkg/pstricks]pstricks[/url] family.

Code: Select all

\usepackage{pst-coil,pst-node,pstricks-add}

Best regards

First of all, many thanks

By using

Code: Select all

 \psset{unit=0.5cm}

I tried to make sure that I can put two figures as subfigures next to each other. Anyway, I did it with the subcaption and a minipage and it's working, hehe...

Code: Select all

\documentclass[twoside,a4paper,11pt]{memoir}
\usepackage{pst-coil}
\usepackage{pst-node}
\usepackage{pstricks-add}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\begin{minipage}[b]{.5\linewidth}
\centering\large A
 \psset{unit=0.5cm}
 \begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-1.25)(10,1.25)
 \psplot[linecolor=blue,linewidth=1.5pt,plotpoints=500] {0}{5.424}{ x dup add RadtoDeg sin }
 \psaxes[xunit=0.785,showorigin=false, trigLabels]{->}(0,0)(-1,-1.25)(7.8,1.25)
 \end{pspicture}
\subcaption{A subfigure}\label{fig:1a}
\end{minipage}%
\begin{minipage}[b]{.5\linewidth}
\centering\large B
 \psset{unit=0.5cm}
 \begin{pspicture}(-0.5,-1.25)(10,1.25)
 \psplot[linecolor=blue,linewidth=1.5pt,plotpoints=500] {0}{5.424}{ x dup add RadtoDeg sin }
 \psaxes[xunit=0.785,showorigin=false, trigLabels]{->}(0,0)(-1,-1.25)(7.8,1.25)
 \end{pspicture}
\subcaption{Another subfigure}\label{fig:1b}
\end{minipage}
\caption{A figure}\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
