[Tex/LaTex] Dealing with figures in LaTeX

graphicssubfloats

I have two figures I want them to be side-by-side, and I have two issues:

1) How to make both figures have the same size? I know that dimensions are not the same for both figures, but how can I make them the same? (both figures are in pdf format)

2) I want to include one caption for both figures.. say, Figure 1, but underneath the figure on the left side I want to put (a), and underneath the figure on right side I want to put (b).. so we have figure 1(a) and Figure 1(b).

This is ehat I have so far:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\mbox{\subfigure{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{Figure1_a.pdf}
\quad
\subfigure{\includegraphics[scale=0.5]{Figure1_b.pdf} }}}
\caption{caption for figure 1}
\label{fig12}
\end{figure}

With graphicx you can set the width of the figure.

So you should do something like

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\pagestyle{empty}
\begin{document}

Same width

\includegraphics[width=2cm]{example-image-16x10}

\includegraphics[width=2cm]{example-image-10x16}
\vspace{1cm}

Same height

\begin{minipage}[t]{2in}
     \hspace*{\fill}\includegraphics[height=3cm]{example-image-16x10}\hspace*{\fill}\par
     \hspace*{\fill}Caption for first\hspace*{\fill}
\end{minipage}
\begin{minipage}[t]{2in}
    \hspace*{\fill}\includegraphics[height=3cm]{example-image-10x16}\hspace*{\fill}\par
     \hspace*{\fill}Caption for second\hspace*{\fill}
\end{minipage}
\vspace{1cm}

Same height and width (ick!)

\includegraphics[height=3cm,width=2cm]{example-image-16x10}
\includegraphics[height=3cm,width=2cm]{example-image-10x16}

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Two figures in a subfigure

You can combine the images that have to be placed in the same column in the same subfigure with a minipage. I can't get this to work in subfigure, for some particular reason. But this code should give you the output you want with the subfig package.

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\begin{document}

    \begin{figure}[tpb]
        \centering
        \subfloat[]{
            \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{1a}

                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{2a}
            \end{minipage}} 
        \subfloat[]{
            \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{1b}

                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{2b}
            \end{minipage}} 

        \subfloat[]{
            \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{1c}

                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{1d}
            \end{minipage}}  
        \subfloat[]{
            \begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{2c}

                \includegraphics[width=0.98\linewidth, height = 0.2\textheight, keepaspectratio=true]{2d}
            \end{minipage}} 
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

Beware of removing whitelines here, as that influences the spacing of the floats.

Graphics – Two Figures Side by Side with Text Wrapping

You have to carefully adjust the dimensions of your image and the number of lines the wrap figure will extend ( for example [10] in \begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}).

An example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx,wrapfig,lipsum}
%------------------------------------------
\begin{document}
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like.
%------------------------------------------
\begin{wrapfigure}[10]{r}{5.5cm}
\rule{5.5cm}{7.1cm}
\caption{A wrapped figure}\label{wrap-fig:1}
\end{wrapfigure}
%------------------------------------------
This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may
embed tabular environment inside wraptable environment and customize as you like. This is where the table goes with text wrapping around it. You may

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{minipage}{6cm}
\centering
\rule{\textwidth}{3cm}
\caption{my figure}\label{fig:2}
\end{minipage}%
\end{figure}%

\lipsum[2-3]

Figure~\ref{wrap-fig:1} is a wrapped figure.
