Four panel, image with borders

Question

I am trying to make a landscape PDF with borders (4) where I will place 4 figures. Ideally the line would be 3 point in width...I have attached a JPG of what I am thinking. I would like to place figures in the areas a-d.

Can someone give me a starting point?

Answer 1

In the following example I defined a new command \FramedImage with one optional argument (the options to be used in the optional argument of \includegraphics) and a mandatory one (the name of the image file). This command places its contents inside a minipage enclosed in a \fbox to obatin the frame:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[a4paper,margin=2cm,landscape]{geometry}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\newcommand\FramedImage[2][]{%
  \setlength\fboxsep{2pt}% change according to needs
  \setlength\fboxrule{3pt}%
  \noindent\fbox{%
    \begin{minipage}[c][\dimexpr.5\textheight-1.5\fboxrule-2\fboxsep\relax][c]{\dimexpr.5\textwidth-1.5\fboxrule-2\fboxsep\relax}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[#1]{#2}
  \end{minipage}}%
}

\begin{document}

\thispagestyle{empty}
\FramedImage{image1}\hspace*{-3pt}\FramedImage{image2}\\[-3pt]\offinterlineskip
\FramedImage{image3}\hspace*{-3pt}\FramedImage{image4}

\end{document}

The demo option for graphicx simply replaces actual figures with black rectangles; do not use that option in your actual document.
