[Tex/LaTex] get the page horizontal and put 3×3 images

horizontal alignmentsubfloatszwpagelayout

First, I used following:

\usepackage{rotating}
\usepackage{subfigure}
....
\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1c.png}}
\caption{Title for both}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2c.png}}
\caption{Title for both}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3c.png}}
\caption{Title for both}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

The above code creates three different pages, however I want them like a 3 x 3 matrix with horizontal page. How can I do that?

What I want!

If you put everything inside a single sidewaysfigure environment, i.e.

\begin{sidewaysfigure}
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1c.png}}
\caption{Title for all}
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2c.png}}
\caption{Title for all}
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3c.png}}
\caption{Title for all}
\end{sidewaysfigure}

it will work. Another possible solution involves the pdflscape package (using this package has the advantage that the page is rotated in the pdf viewer, so you don't have to rotate your neck). The code is presented below. The caption package is used only to adjust the space between the figures and the caption, through \captionsetup (you could use this as well if you decide to stick to sidewaysfigure). If the figure is inside a document, it may prove useful to use afterpage (remove % from the commented lines)

\documentclass[demo]{article}
\usepackage[top=2cm,bottom=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{pdflscape}
\usepackage{subfigure}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup{aboveskip=0pt}
%\usepackage{afterpage}
\begin{document}
%\afterpage{
\begin{landscape}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot1c.png}}
\caption{Title for all}
\vskip3ex
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot2c.png}}
\caption{Title for all}
\vskip3ex
\subfigure[Title A]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3a.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3b.png}}
\subfigure[Title B]{\includegraphics[width=7cm]{figures/plot3c.png}}
\caption{Title for all}
\end{figure}
\end{landscape}
%}
\end{document}

[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}

[Tex/LaTex] \hfill and \hspace do not work

The images are not cropped and have white margins. For example, Deviation_distribution.eps has the bounding box:

%%BoundingBox:    44   238   549   604

The real bounding box can be calculated via ghostscript:

$ gs -sDEVICE=bbox -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE Deviation_distribution.eps

The result is:

%%BoundingBox: 49 246 493 585
%%HiResBoundingBox: 49.936780 246.815992 492.839985 584.243982

The white margins are:

left: 49bp - 44bp = 5bp
bottom: 246bp - 238bp = 8bp
right: 549bp - 493bp = 56bp
top: 604bp - 585bp = 19bp

The .eps files can be fixed by replacing the %%BoundingBox with the result of ghostscript's bbox device. Or the program epstool --copy --bbox can be used.

In case of PDF files, the images can be cropped with pdfcrop.

With cropped images, you can then clean up the code (e.g. something like 1.1\textwidth will usually cause overfull \hbox warnings).
