# Include table as a subfigure

Is it possible to include "table code" as a sub-figure (instead of an image) using the package subfig? If so, how?

This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.

You can include any content (table, text, figure, ...) within a figure or table environment. That is, there is no restriction to only have figures within a figure environment, nor to only have a tabular within a table environment. The same goes for \subfloat from the \subfig package. The respective environments just maintain different counters and they end up in different "List of ..."s - administrative differences of sorts.

Here's a minimal example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{subfig}% http://ctan.org/pkg/subfig
\usepackage{booktabs}% http://ctan.org/pkg/booktabs
\newcommand{\mytab}{% Just for this example
\begin{tabular}{lcr}
\toprule
One & Two & Three \\
\midrule
$x$ & $y$ & $z$ \\
1 & 2 & 3 \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}%
\centering
\subfloat[][]{\mytab}%
\subfloat[][]{\mytab}
\caption{Here are some tables in a \texttt{figure} environment.}%
\label{fig:table}%
\end{figure}

\begin{table}%
\centering
\subfloat[][]{\mytab}%
