[Tex/LaTex] Text in table with images is not aligned on top

beamertablesvertical alignment

I have table with text in the first column and image in second. I want both columns to be top aligned. I use following code:

\begin{tabular}{p{3cm}l}
Internal state after adding 2 elements & \includegraphics[scale=0.4]{pics/queue_after_add.png} \\
Internal state non-concurrent execution & \includegraphics[scale=0.4]{pics/queue_sequential.png} \\
Internal state concurrent execution & \includegraphics[scale=0.4]{pics/queue_concurrent.png}\\
\end{tabular}

The result looks like this:

I also tried to insert \vspace{0pt} as some thread suggests, but result was the same.

\vspace{0pt} would work if the graphics were in a column of type p{..}. In l-columns you will have to move the graphics below the baseline with \raisebox{-\height}{....}.

[Tex/LaTex] Table with two columns aligned, one not aligned

First of all, the inner tabular should be declared [t] (top aligned). In order to remove the space before itemized lists in p cells, there are various ways.

If you always have a single itemized list in those cells, the following slight modification of this answer by Danie Els might do:

\documentclass[landscape,letterpaper,11pt]{article}
\usepackage{calc,array}
\usepackage[left=0.5in,top=0.5in,right=0.5in,bottom=0.5in,nohead]{geometry}
\pagestyle{empty}

\makeatletter
\newcolumntype{i}[1]{%
    >{\minipage[t]{\linewidth}\arraybackslash\itemize}
    p{#1}%
    <{\@finalstrut\@arstrutbox\enditemize\endminipage}}

\makeatother

\begin{document}

\noindent
\begin{tabular}{@{}p{0.6\textwidth}i{0.4\textwidth-2\tabcolsep}@{}}
\hline
\begin{tabular}[t]{@{}p{0.3\textwidth-\tabcolsep}p{0.3\textwidth-\tabcolsep}@{}}
This is aligned with the first equation & $\displaystyle x^2 + y^2 = z^2 $ \\
This is aligned with the second equation & $\displaystyle e^{i\theta} = \cos(\theta) + i\sin(\theta)$
\end{tabular}
&
\item Bullets.
\item Go with the table in general.
\item The top of the first bullet should be aligned with the tops of the rest of the table.
\\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\end{document}

(The rules are just to show the spacings and the alignments.)

Notice how I computed the width of the table columns so that they completely fill the line (the calc package is needed for this).

If your last column cells don't always have only an itemized list, then including the lists in \begin{minipage}[t]{\linewidth}...\end{minipage} will do in (almost) the same way. The column should, of course, be declared as p{...}.
