Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Two tables side-by-side in one page

[oeteo]

Hi everyone,

I am writing a thesis and I'd like to simulate the multiple page per sheet printing to put two tables side-by-side on each page.
I tried

Code: Select all

sidewaystable

, which is not bad but I cannot get to put two tables in one page.

Code: Select all

multicols

doesn't work because I have some minipages in my tables.

Is there something I can do?

Hi,

maybe I didn't understand you question correctly, but isn't enough to use something like the following?

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\noindent\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{cc}\hline
    Column1a & Column2a \\
    Column1b & Column2b \\
    Column1c & Column2c \\ \hline
  \end{tabular}
  \captionof{table}{first of two side-by-side tables.}
  \label{tab:test1}
\end{minipage}\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.45\linewidth}
  \centering
  \begin{tabular}{cc}\hline
    Column1a & Column2a \\
    Column1b & Column2b \\ \hline
  \end{tabular}
  \captionof{table}{second of two side-by-side tables.}
  \label{tab:test2}
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

Looks good... In fact, I used a similar technique with minipage and the rotating package to have it landscaped:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{rotating}

...

Code: Select all

\begin{table}[!ht]

\footnotesize
\caption{Results for testset0-1 (left) and testset0-2 (right)}

\begin{sideways}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.7\linewidth}
\centering
\input{res02}
\end{minipage}
\end{sideways}

\begin{sideways}
\begin{minipage}[b]{0.7\linewidth}
\centering
\input{res01}
\end{minipage}
\end{sideways}

\end{table}

So I have my two tables in landscape orientation with a caption in portrait orientation
