Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to put caption beside subfigures?

[cigs]

Hi guys!

Although there are many posts about both issues (subfigures/minipages and sidecap) I still can't figure out how to create an environment in lyx that looks like in the picture I added for illustration.

Can someone help me with this?

Hi,

I have no idea about how to implement my suggestion in LyX, but here's a possible solution using LaTeX:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{floatrow,subfig,caption}

\floatsetup[figure]{style=plain}
\captionsetup{labelfont=bf}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \subfloat[][]{\rule{.42\textwidth}{.4\textheight}}\hfill%
  \subfloat[][]{\rule{.42\textwidth}{.4\textheight}}\vspace*{1cm}\par
  \subfloat[][]{\rule{.42\textwidth}{.4\textheight}}\hfill%
  \parbox[b][.4\textheight]{.42\textwidth}%
    {\vskip-\abovecaptionskip\RawCaption{\caption{A test figure with three subfigures and some additional text.}\vfill\label{...}}}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I used black rectangles to simulate actual figures, but of course you can use the standard \includegraphics command (after loading the graphicx package) for images. Feel free to modify my example according to your needs.
