Then do not use minipages, use package varwidth. The only, but important problem is, that LyX doesn't support this package. - ERT Thanks Herbert.. will try this out soon.. On the other hand you can put the image into a box and then set the minipage exactly to the width of this box (image). To make life harder, my first image's height width so I've set the scaling using the height and asked for the aspect ratio to be maintained. The second image's width height so it's the other way around. Hence, for the first figure, I'm not sure what the bounding box's width should be... Or - trial and error ... I'll have to go with this for now as I'm a little short on time (submission in 2 days).. :-) Thanks, nirmal

Re: Problem with figures side by side

Re: Problem with figures side by side
Thank you Herbert and Paul for the file.. I used the last option with the minipages and captions within the minipages so that the two captions will show up beside one another. Also aligned the minipage to the bottom so the captions are on the same line. Now, only one problem - the block of figures isn't centered with respect to the paragraph (text) beneath it.. I tried deleting the \hfill before the first figure and that made it a little better but it's still not centered. is this cos the widths of the two figures are different? In Herbert's third example, the widths of the figures are set to 80% and 30% of col. and the corresponding minipages are set to 60% and 35% of line respectively. So my question - is trial and error the only way to have these unequal-width figures side by side so that the entire block is centered? Thanks, nirmal

Re: Problem with figures side by side
Thank you Herbert and Paul for the file.. I used the last option with the minipages and captions within the minipages so that the two captions will show up beside one another. Also aligned the minipage to the bottom so the captions are on the same line. Now, only one problem - the block of figures isn't centered with respect to the paragraph (text) beneath it.. I tried deleting the \hfill before the first figure and that made it a little better but it's still not centered. is this cos the widths of the two figures are different? In Herbert's third example, the widths of the figures are set to 80% and 30% of col. and the corresponding minipages are set to 60% and 35% of line respectively. So my question - is trial and error the only way to have these unequal-width figures side by side so that the entire block is centered? Thanks, nirmal

The only, but important problem is, that LyX doesn't support this package. - ERT On the other hand you can put the image into a box and then set the minipage exactly to the width of this box (image). Or - trial and error ... Herbert

Re: Problem with figures side by side
attached Herbert Thanks Herbert... I think the one I was looking for was named FigSideBySide.lyx but assuming that it uses the same minipages-based solution as MultiImages.lyx, I am unable to vertically align the captions of the two figures that are side-by-side... I have two figures that do not have the same height/width but I'd like to have the captions on the same line, i.e. the figures will have a constant base... any way to do this? (I also have labels for the figures within a figure float) Thanks, nirmal
