Beamer – How to Left-align Figures in Beamer

beamerfloatsminipage

I use the minipage environment and I've got two figures, which I wish to present side by side. I have successfully done that, but I do not like the position of the image on the left. I would prefer to have it slightly shifted to the left.

Here is my code:

    \documentclass{beamer}
    
    \usepackage{pgfbaseimage}
    \usepackage{graphicx}
    \usepackage{tikz}
    
    \begin{document}
    
    \begin{frame}{some text}
    
    \begin{figure}
        \centering
        
        \begin{minipage}{0.49\textwidth}
        \centering
        \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{figs/1.png}
        \end{minipage}
        \hfill
        \begin{minipage}{0.49\textwidth}
        \includegraphics[width=0.4\textwidth]{figs/2.png}
        \end{minipage}
        
    \end{figure}
     
    \end{frame}
    
    \end{document}

Which gives:

I want to use these white spaces

So I'd need to shift my figures to the edges of the slide, so I can have a space for annotations. It doesn't matter here with the example image, but with my bigger figures, it does.

Best Answer

In your code, you ask for the image to be centered in your minipage. If you'd rather have it left-aligned, try this:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{frame}{some text}
    \begin{figure}
        \centering
        \begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
            \includegraphics[width=0.33\textwidth]{example-image-a}
            \hfill
            \includegraphics[width=0.33\textwidth]{example-image-b}
        \end{minipage}
    \end{figure}
\end{frame}
\end{document}
