I'm using the subfigure environment to show 3 graphics in one figure environment. However, I'd like to arrange them in the following order (subfig1 is larger than the other two):
| SUBFIG1 | SUBFIG2 |
| SUBFIG1 | SUBFIG3 |
How can this be achieved? I've tried to add a linebreak, but that moved the third subfigure below the other two.
You can use the subfigure environment from the subcaption package as follows.
Note that the subfigure environment takes the same optional arguments that minipage does, so if you find yourself in a situation with different size code snippets you can use (for example) \begin{subfigure}[t]{.5\textwidth}...
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{algorithm2e}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\newcommand{\myalgorithm}{%
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\SetAlgoLined
\KwData{this text}
\KwResult{how to write algorithm with \LaTeX2e }
initialization\;
\While{not at end of this document}{
read current\;
\eIf{understand}{
go to next section\;
current section becomes this one\;
}{
go back to the beginning of current section\;
}
}
\end{algorithm}}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\begin{subfigure}{.5\textwidth}
\myalgorithm
\caption{How to write algorithms}
\end{subfigure}% need this comment symbol to avoid overfull hbox
\begin{subfigure}{.5\textwidth}
\myalgorithm
\caption{How to write algorithms}
\end{subfigure}\\
\begin{subfigure}{.5\textwidth}
\myalgorithm
\caption{How to write algorithms}
\end{subfigure}%
\begin{subfigure}{.5\textwidth}
\myalgorithm
\caption{How to write algorithms}
\end{subfigure}
\caption{Main caption}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
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.

You can use two subfigure environments:
