[Tex/LaTex] how to put two pictures side by side

formattingtikz-pgftikz-trees

I try to put the two pictures side by side using the following code, however, the size of the two pictures are very small like the picture.

enter image description here

However, the picture looks like if I don't put them together.

I don't know why.

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usetikzlibrary{trees}
\usepackage{verbatim}

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\resizebox{.6\textwidth}{!}{
\tikzset{level 1/.style={level distance=0.7cm, sibling distance=4.5cm}}
\tikzset{level 2/.style={level distance=0.7cm, sibling distance=5cm}}

\tikzset{bag/.style={text width=20em, text centered,yshift=-0.2cm}}
\begin{tikzpicture}[grow=down, -stealth,  edge from parent/.style={draw,decorate,decoration={snake, post=lineto, post length=3mm}}]
{\node[bag]{$S_0{:}(A{<}a{=1}{>}B,G_{t_{i_1}},0)$}
    child{ edge from parent node[right=0.1cm]{$$}; \node[bag]{$S_{n-1}{:}(stop_{good},t_{i_1}{\geq}2,0)$}
    }
    child{edge from parent node{$\times$}; \node[bag]{$S_n{:}(stop_{good},t_{i_3}{\geq}3,0)$}
    };
}

You've resized the images with \resizebox. Part of the reason they're so small, is that within a minipage, \textwidth is set to the width of the minipage. Hence, when you set the width to be 0.6\textwidth within a minipage that is 0.5\linewidth, the width of the resizebox will be 0.3 of the \linewidth for the whole page.

In addition, because you've set the text width of the bag nodes to 20em, there is some whitespace on the sides of each tree, and the size of the \resizebox includes this whitespace.

Also, please include full examples, including all packages and libraries. Makes it easier for trying to help, not having to figure out which decorations library is missing.

See if this is a little better:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usetikzlibrary{trees,decorations.pathmorphing}
\tikzset{bag/.style={text width=10em, text centered,yshift=-0.2cm}}

\usepackage{verbatim}
\begin{document}
\the\textwidth
\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{minipage}{0.5\linewidth}
\the\textwidth
\centering
\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{
\tikzset{level 1/.style={level distance=0.7cm, sibling distance=4.5cm}}
\tikzset{level 2/.style={level distance=0.7cm, sibling distance=5cm}}


\begin{tikzpicture}[grow=down, -stealth,  edge from parent/.style={draw,decorate,decoration={snake, post=lineto, post length=3mm}}]
{\node[bag]{$S_0{:}(A{<}a{=1}{>}B,G_{t_{i_1}},0)$}
    child{ edge from parent node[right=0.1cm]{$$}; \node[bag]{$S_{n-1}{:}(stop_{good},t_{i_1}{\geq}2,0)$}
    }
    child{edge from parent node{$\times$}; \node[bag]{$S_n{:}(stop_{good},t_{i_3}{\geq}3,0)$}
    };

\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{

\begin{tikzpicture}[grow=down, -stealth,  edge from parent/.style={draw,decorate,decoration={snake, post=lineto, post length=3mm}}]
{\node[bag]{$S_0{:}(A{<}a{=1}{>}B,G_{t_{i_1}},0)$}
    child{ edge from parent node[right=0.1cm]{$$}; \node[bag]{$S_{n-1}{:}(stop_{good},t_{i_1}{\geq}2,0)$}

    child{edge from parent node{$\times$}; \node[bag]{$S_n{:}(stop_{good},t_{i_3}{\geq}3,0)$}

You can use minipage to do this; adjust the widths given in the following as you see fit.

Note that each \end{minipage} has a trailing % to prevent it from adding extra horizontal space. If this picture is going to be put in a figure environment, use \centering instead of \begin{center}...\end{center}

[Tex/LaTex] how to put two pictures together using minipage

One way is to avoid to use minipage. The environment tikzpicture produces a box (Tex's box) and it's possible to place boxes like you want with different tools (baseline,...) you can control the size of the box with useasboundingbox for example. The environment minipage is interesting if you need to place a paragraph side by side with a picture A solution to your problem can be perhaps :

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{positioning,shapes}
    \tikzset{
      my box/.style = {draw, minimum width = 2em, minimum height=1em},
    }

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\hspace*{\fill}\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=4mm]
\node[my box,align=center](s1){$S_1$};
\node[my box,align=center,right = of s1](s2){$S_2$};
\draw[->] (s1)--(s2);
\node[align=center,right = 2mm of s2](s){...};
\node[my box,align=center,right = 2mm of s](s3){$S_n$};
\node[below] at (current bounding box.south) {label fig one};
\end{tikzpicture}\hspace*{\fill}
\begin{tikzpicture}[node distance=4mm]
\node[my box,align=center](s1){$S_1$};
\node[draw,circle,left = of s1](start){};
\draw[->] (start)--(s1);
\node[draw,diamond,right = of s1](end){};
\draw[->] (s1)--(end);
\draw[->] (end) --++ (0em,1.5em) -| (start);
\node[align=center,above = 1.0em of s1](l){k};
\node[below] at (current bounding box.south) {label fig two};
\end{tikzpicture}\hspace*{\fill}
\caption{Two figures side by-side}
\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If necessary you can control the width of each picture.

The boxes are in this case aligned by the bottom but is very easy with baselineto place each box relatively to the baseline. You can also place the second picture relatively to the first with the use of named node.
