FiguresSideBySide

Simple example of putting two figures side by side.

How can I put two floats side by side?

I would like to put two floating figures side by side in Lyx as Fig 1 and Fig 2

 FIG 1 : .....                     FIG2 : ...................

I've tried minipage but I have only one floaing figure for two graphics (Fig 1 a) > and b) )

Dekel says:

1. Insert->Float->Figure
2. Change layout to Standard
3. Insert->Minipage
4. Insert->Special Character->Hfill
5. Insert->Minipage
6. Change the width of the two minipages to 45%text (by clicking the right mouse button on each minipage)
7. In each minipage, change the paragraph alignment to center, add the graphics, press enter for a new paragraph, and change the layout to Caption.

See FiguresSideBySide for example files, and perhaps also BigFigureOrTable.

This LyxUsersThreadRoot:14093 might also be of interest, where Herbert has attached an example file in LyxUsersPost:14093 — that solution is reportedly perfect :-)

Note that in version 1.4 minipage is under Insert->Box.

The example files:

[If you copy from the lyx-file you will copy the language, too. This might change the caption of the figues, too (e.g. "Abbildung 3.1"-->"Figure 3.1"). To change this you might change the language back to the original: Layout->Character->Language Reset.]
