[Tex/LaTex] caption without figure envirorment

captions

I'm making a report with a latex editor. I have a caption made up by two pictures in a column. The picture below is larger than that of above, and I use center envirorment without 'figure' in order to obtain the pictures aligned. I only use \includegraphics. Does anybody know how can I put the pictures a 'subcaption' like (a),(b) withou the figure envirorment?? because if I use it the picture below appears not aligned. Thanks

Here two different packages are used subcaption and subfig for demonstration. Without figure environment, one could use minipage environment with columnwidth setting and seek helps from

\makeatletter
\def\@captype{figure}
\makeatother

If List of Figures is desired then use \caption{...}, \listofigures commands and compile twice to get the proper rendering.

\documentclass[]{report}
\usepackage[showframe,margin=2cm]{geometry}

   \columnseprule=3pt 
%   \usepackage{subfig}       % for subfloat
   \usepackage{subcaption}    % for subcaptionbox
   \usepackage{graphicx}

[Tex/LaTex] How to align text within a caption

I hope you won't have to print a List of Figures in your document with such captions... In such a case, remember to use the optional argument of \caption:

\caption[short caption]{long caption}

Here are three alternatives.

First alternative:

\documentclass[oneside,DIV=17]{scrbook}
\usepackage[font={scriptsize,sf},labelfont={scriptsize,sf,bf}]{caption}
\usepackage[subrefformat=parens,labelfont={normalfont,scriptsize,sf},labelsep=space]{subcaption}
\setcapindent{0pt}

\begin{document}
 \begin{figure}
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:a}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\hfill
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:b}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\hfill
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:c}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\par
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:d}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\hfill
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:e}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\hfill
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:f}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\par
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:g}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\hfill
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:h}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\hfill
   \subcaptionbox{\label{fig:i}}{\rule{0.3\textwidth}{0.25\textwidth}}\par

[Tex/LaTex] Common caption below vertically centered figure and table

I can't imagine less markup than this:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering

\begin{tabular}{@{}c@{}}
  \includegraphics{image}
\end{tabular}\qquad
\begin{tabular}{ll}
  \hline
  column1a & column2a \\
  column1b & column2b \\
  column1c & column2c \\
  \hline
\end{tabular}

\caption{A caption for a figure in a figure and a table side by side}\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
