Hello hello. How are you? :)
As we have seen during the posterior post we are talking about images
- You can check how to import an image here
- You can learn about the
figure
environment here - You can check how to put side-by-side images here
Today we are going to learn how to create sub-figures
Why should I learn about sub-figures?
Well, sometimes there are some images, that are related and you want to put them together, not on different sections. Here I show you how to do it
Sub-Figures
Remember that you need to have the graphicx
package imported
To create a sub-figure environment we need to import the subfigure
package. Once we have done that the next step is to put our image in the subfigure
command
\subfigure[caption]{\includegraphics[options]{nameOfFile.ext}}
Where
- caption is the caption of the image, not the general caption
- options are height, width, angle
- nameOfFile is the name of the file
The complete instruction would be
\begin{figure}[position]
\alignment
\subfigure[caption1]{\includegraphics[options]{nameOfFile1.ext}}
...
\subfigure[captionN]{\includegraphics[options]{nameOfFileN.ext}}
\end{figure}
If you do not remember the figure
environment you can remember it here
An example is
Produces
As you can notice, if the total width of the images exceed the page margins LaTeX is going to reorganize them to create a suitable place for those images
This is all for today, do not forget to follow me on Twitter @latexteada
I also publish some stuff there on Fridays. See you :)
