[Tex/LaTex] Get section title and table on same page

tables

I have a problem with getting a section title and a table on the same page since I want the text in my table centered. Is there a way around this? Thank you!

\documentclass[twoside,twocolumn, 10pt]{article}
\usepackage{color, colortbl}

To have a table (or figure) page wide in the same otherwise two-column page, after the section title, you can use the strip environment, from the cuted package. This makes your table non-float, so for the caption, you have to use the \captionof{table}{...} command.

Here is a possible solution, with some simplifications and improvements, with the siunitx and makecell packages.

\documentclass[twoside,twocolumn, 10pt]{article}
\usepackage[hmargin=20mm,top=18mm,columnsep=15pt]{geometry}
\usepackage[table, svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{makecell, caption}
\usepackage{siunitx}
\renewcommand{\theadfont}{\bfseries}
\usepackage{cuted}

Tables and Figures – How to Get Both on the Same Page with Captions & Labels

To guarantee that they will remain together, use either one minipage (if the object doesn't have to be treated as floating) or just one floating environment for both the figure and the table; the right type of caption can then be obtained, in both cases, using \captionof from the capt-of (or caption) packages; the example below shows both possibilities:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{capt-of}

\begin{document}

\noindent\begin{minipage}{\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{examplefigure}
\captionof{figure}{Example figure caption (non-floating)}
\label{fig:examplenf}

\captionof{table}{Example Table (non-floating)}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\hline
column1a & column2a \\
column1b & column2b \\
column1c & column2c \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:examplenf}
\end{minipage} 

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{examplefigure}
\caption{Example figure caption (floating)}
\label{fig:examplefl}

\captionof{table}{Example Table (floating)}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\hline
column1a & column2a \\
column1b & column2b \\
column1c & column2c \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\label{tab:examplefl}
\end{figure}

[Tex/LaTex] Chapter title and rotated table (with subtables) on the same page

You are facing two problems here:

The hvfloat package does not set \@captype (like an ordinary floating environment does) so the subcaption package has no idea if its commands are used inside a figure, a table, or not within a floating environment at all. This must be fixed by Herbert, however you could use \captionsetup{type=table} as workaround.
The standard document classes set \abovecaptionskip to a value of 10pt, \belowcaptionskip to 0pt. \abovecaptionskip will be used above the caption, and \belowcaptionskip below of it. However, this gives you a obvious problem when a \caption is typeset above a figure or table content since you will get a distance of \belowcaptionskip (=0pt) between caption and content, i.e. no distance of all. There are two different (and incompatible) ways to resolve this situation:
- \abovecaptionskip will be used between caption and content, \belowcaptionskip will be used between caption and edge of the floating environment. (This has the advantage that you could use the default values of \abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip as set by the document class, and the result will not change at all when using \caption below its contents, as designed by Leslie Lamport.)
- If the caption is below its content, only \abovecaptionskip is used. If the caption is above its content, only \belowcaptionskip is used. (The skips need to be adjusted for making this work, but you are able to setup different skips for above-captions and below-captions here.)

As you see both methods have its pros and cons, but are unfortunately incompatible. However, KOMA-Script and the (sub)caption package are using the first method while hvfloat seems to use the latter. (I'm not sure about this since I didn't have found the time to look into Herbers sources, but at least hvfloat changes the values of the caption skips and therefore just loading the package will affect the skips of the non-hvfloat-floating environments (and the longtable environment and...) as well.)

To compensate this one needs to write macros to save and restore the skips.

So in total we have:

\documentclass[a4paper] {scrbook}

% Save the values of \abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip into \restorecaptionskips
\edef\restorecaptionskips{%
  \noexpand\setlength\noexpand\abovecaptionskip{\the\abovecaptionskip}%
  \noexpand\setlength\noexpand\belowcaptionskip{\the\belowcaptionskip}}
%\show\restorecaptionskips
\usepackage{hvfloat}
% Save the changed values of \abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip into \restorehvcaptionskips
\edef\restorehvcaptionskips{%
  \noexpand\setlength\noexpand\abovecaptionskip{\the\abovecaptionskip}%
  \noexpand\setlength\noexpand\belowcaptionskip{\the\belowcaptionskip}}
% Restore the values of \abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip
\restorecaptionskips

\usepackage{subcaption}

\begin{document}

\appendix \cleardoublepage
\chapter{Some Data Tables}

\restorehvcaptionskips % only needed if "capPos=t"
\hvFloat[capPos=b,rotAngle=90,nonFloat]{table}{%
\restorecaptionskips
\captionsetup{type=table}% set \@captype
  \hspace*{\fill}
  \begin{subtable}{.3\textwidth}
    \rule{\linewidth}{12cm}
  \end{subtable}
  %
  \hspace*{\fill}
  %
  \begin{subtable}{.3\textwidth}
    \rule{\linewidth}{12cm}
  \end{subtable}
  \hspace*{\fill}
}{Table with interesting data}{}
\restorecaptionskips

\end{document}
