Hello to all,

There is also package called floatrow. Not anly allows placing various floats side-by-side but also adds great functionality to manage captions. With extensive documentation.

Very nice, but if you want two real figures side by side, you can also write something like this:

\begin{figure}[h] \centering \begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{qrcode} \caption{Lorem} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth} \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{qrcode} \caption{Ipsum} \end{minipage} \end{figure}

Thanks for the post, worked great. I like to use a percentage of the text width as opposed to an absolute width in case I change the layout of the page.

Example:
\begin{figure}
\centering
\mbox{
\subfigure[]{
\includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{figures/fig-1.eps}
\label{fig-1}
}\quad
\subfigure[]{
\includegraphics[width=.5\textwidth]{figures/fig-2.eps}
\label{fig-2}
}
}
\centering
\caption{Text pertaining to both graphs …}
\label{fig-all}
\end{figure}

The subfigure package is outdated, subfig should be used instead (according to subfigures page on CTAN).

Thx John, this is great, since it does work with Sweave. I had some serious trouble to get minipage to work with Sweave (see here) . Btw if you don't use Sweave, minipage is also a nice way to place graphs or tables next to each other. You can also use seperate captions then.

Thanks. This was way helpfule for me. To get the caption to work for each subfigure do this

\mbox{\subfigure[Caption for Subfig1]{\includegraphics[width=3in]{contextmodel}}\quad
\subfigure[Caption for Subfig2]{\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{contextmodel2}}}

awesome tip, john. very helpful.

i think there is a small bug (one bracket is missing).

\begin{figure}
\centering
\mbox{\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=3in]{fig1.pdf}
\quad
\subfigure{\includegraphics[width=3in]{fig2.pdf} }}}
\caption{Text pertaining to both graphs …}
\label{fig12}
\end{figure}
