[Tex/LaTex] Centering tabular array of images

graphicshorizontal alignment

I have a tabular array of four images and I am not able to center it. My images are pushed towards the right edge of the sheet. The centering looks fine for single images , so I am guessing this issue is of centering starting from the margin. How do I make an visually pleasing centering of my images.

\begin{center}

\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{cc}
\textbf{blah}  & \textbf{text} $m=\pi,n=e$  \\
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss0.png} &
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss1.png} \\ 
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss2.png} & 
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss3.png} \\
\textbf{text} & text

\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\end{center}

I would not mind if my image breaks a little off into the left margin.

It's by no means necessary to insert tabular environments in table environments. It appears that you are trying to typeset a "here table", so that it can't float. Then

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{@{}cc@{}}
\textbf{blah}  & \textbf{text} $m=\pi,n=e$  \\
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss0} &
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss1} \\ 
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss2} & 
\includegraphics[height=45mm]{liss3} \\
\textbf{text} & text
\end{tabular}
\end{center}

is probably what you need. In case you are satisfied with making the images sticking into the margins, add \makebox[0pt]{ in front of \begin{tabular} and the closing } immediately following \end{tabular}.

However, this might spoil your pagination, if this object falls near a page break. You may consider to use a floating table environment and the subfig or subcaption packages.

Your centring efforts are almost certainly overkill here:

\begin{center}
  \begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
    \centering

Generally you should only need two commands to centre images:

\centering\includegraphics{...} — when the figure is smaller than the text width
\centerline{\includegraphics{...}} — when the figure is wider than the text width

If this doesn't appear to centre your image correctly, put \fbox{\includegraphics{...}} to see where the bounds of the image are; you may then need to either pad or crop the image to make it more symmetrical.

After cropping the image, I've used the following latex code:

\begin{figure}
\centering\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Figure5_RPC_Problem_1}\caption{Wider than figure text. Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.Wider than figure text.}
\end{figure}

In lyx, the graphicx package must be included in the preamble:

Go to Document → Settings → Preamble and add

\usepackage{graphicx}
