Position of figures

Question

I have a question: can I put 3 pictures one beside the other in the same line? Actually I put them one after the other and I would like to put them in the same line if is possible. This is my code

\begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
   \includegraphics[width=0.4\linewidth,clip,trim=0cm 0cm 8cm 0cm]
   {t1}
  \bf{\caption{Nb des pages qui ont reçu la pub partagé dans le réseau Num 5}}
\end{figure}

 \begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
   \includegraphics[width=0.4\linewidth,clip,trim=0cm 0cm 8cm 0cm]
   {t2}
  \bf{\caption{Nb des pages qui ont reçu la pub partagé dans le réseau Num 7}}
\end{figure}
\newpage
 \begin{figure}[!h]
\centering
   \includegraphics[width=0.4\linewidth,clip,trim=0cm 0cm 8cm 0cm]
   {t3}
  \bf{\caption{Nb des pages qui ont reçu la pub partagé dans le réseau Num 9}}
\end{figure}

Answer 1

If you don't want to insert subfigures you can follow Tobi's advice and do like the following (adapted from: http://theoval.cmp.uea.ac.uk/~nlct/latex/novices/sidebyside.html):

\begin{figure}[htbp]
  \begin{minipage}[width=0.33\linewidth]{0.33\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics{circle}
    \caption{A Circle}
    \label{fig:circle}
  \end{minipage}%
  \begin{minipage}{0.33\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.33\linewidth]{rectangle}
    \caption{A Rectangle}
    \label{fig:rectangle}
  \end{minipage}%
  \begin{minipage}{0.33\linewidth}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.33\linewidth]{tringle}
    \caption{A Triangle}
    \label{fig:triangle}
  \end{minipage}
\end{figure}

Answer 2

TeX doesn’t mind how many figures you ut inside a {figure} environment so you can just put three images in one. Add {minipages} to align them.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=3cm]{img1}
      \caption{My first image.}
   \end{minipage}
   \hfill
   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=4cm]{img2}
      \caption{My second image.}
   \end{minipage}
   \hfill
   \begin{minipage}[b]{0.3\textwidth}
      \includegraphics[width=\textwidth,height=3.7cm]{img3}
      \caption{My third image.}
   \end{minipage}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Notes

• Insid of a {minipage} the \texwidth equals the width of the {minipage} an not the main text

• With the optional argument of {minipage} you can align them vertically. Possible values are c, t or b

• The \hfill fills the rest of the line (i.e. 0.1\textwidth) with white space.

• Certainly it’s not requiered to set the height of the images explicitly. I did it just to demonstrate the {minipage} alignment.

Another way is to use sub figures as Edo shows in his answer.

Answer 3

You can achieve this in several ways. One way is to use the subfig package. Then you can add as many images as you want and LaTeX will try to arrange them on the same line. Here's a small example, edited as suggested.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage[demo]{graphics}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[h!t]
        \centering
        \subfloat[3-nearest neighbors]{
            \includegraphics{someimg}
        }
        \subfloat[5-nearest neighbors]{
            \includegraphics{someimg}
        }
        \subfloat[7-nearest neighbors]{
            \includegraphics{someimg}
        }
        \end{figure}


\end{document}

Which gives as result:
