subfloats
I'm trying to put two separate images in one subfigure so that it can be combined with another one to complete a figure i.e.
(img-a) (img-b) (img-c) (img-d)
(a) (b)
Figure 1: A caption
I've tried several methods but they never seem to work. Any ideas would be great.
You can use two subfigure environments:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption,subcaption}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} % demo is just for the example
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{subfigure}[b]{.4\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=5cm]{x}
\caption{A tall figure}
\end{subfigure}\qquad
\begin{subfigure}[b]{.4\textwidth}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=2cm]{x}
\caption{A short figure}
\vspace{2ex}
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=2cm]{x}
\caption{A short figure}
\end{subfigure}
\caption{The full caption}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
I don't think using three different formats for the numbering of subfigures is good. Anyway, here it is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{labelsep=period,justification=centering,singlelinecheck=off}
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{rightparen}{#2)}
\usepackage{subfig}
\captionsetup[subfloat]{labelformat=rightparen}
\showcaptionsetup[uniq]{subfloat}
\usepackage{xparse}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\seq_new:N \g_akj_subfloat_seq
\NewDocumentCommand{\xsubfloat}{ m m }
{
\akj_subfloat:nn { #1 } { #2 }
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\makexcaption}{o}
{
\caption{\IfNoValueF{#1}{#1~}Subfigures:~%
\seq_use:Nnnn \g_akj_subfloat_seq {;~} {;~} {;~}}
}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \akj_subfloat:nn #1 #2
{
% initialize
\int_compare:nT { \value{subfigure} = 0 }
{ \seq_gclear:N \g_akj_subfloat_seq }
% do the subfloat
\subfloat[]{#2}
% store the subcaption
\seq_gput_right:Nx \g_akj_subfloat_seq { (\exp_not:N\textit{\alph{subfigure}}) ~ \exp_not:n { #1 } }
}
\ExplSyntaxOff
\renewcommand{\thesubfigure}{\textit{\alph{subfigure}}}
\makeatletter
\def\p@subfigure{\thefigure\,}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\xsubfloat{subfigure A}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-a}%
}
\xsubfloat{subfigure B}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-b}%
}
\xsubfloat{subfigure C}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-c}%
}
\makexcaption\label{fig:figures}
\end{figure}
See Figures~\ref{fig:subfig-a}, \ref{fig:subfig-b} and~\ref{fig:subfig-c}.
\end{document}
The \makexcaption command has also an optional argument for text going before the list of subcaptions, so
\makexcaption[Some text.]
would produce
Figure 1. Some text. Subfigures: (a) subfigure A; (b) subfigure B; (c) subfigure C
Beware of unprotected end-of-lines in the arguments of \subfloat, that are the cause of your spurious spaces.

There's no limit on the number of images you can put in a
subcaptionenvironment:
