Is it possible to break a figure block made by three subfigures in two lines? I would like to maintain the first subfigure on the first line and the other subfigures on the second line.

\begin{figure*}[t]
\centering
    \subfigure[sub1]{\includegraphics{path1}\label{fig:path1}}
    \subfigure[sub2]{\includegraphics{path2}\label{fig:path2}}
    \subfigure[sub3]{\includegraphics{path3}\label{fig:path3}}
\end{figure*}

    How are you producing the subfigures? Which package are you using? Anyway, you can use the standard break line command \\. Jul 24, 2013 at 14:26
  • I updated the text and verified that your suggestion works pretty fine. Thanks.

Here is an example that uses the subcaption package and the threeparttable package for the tablenotes environment (environment not strictly necessary, as you could use simple text with \footnotesize)

\begin{figure}[t!p]
         \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.2\textwidth}
                 \centering
                 \includegraphics[width=0.98\textwidth]{coolcat}
                 \caption{Cool}
                 \label{fig2:coolcat}
         \end{subfigure}
         \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
                 \centering
                 \includegraphics[width=0.985\textwidth]{bossycat}
                 \caption{Bossy}
                 \label{fig2:bossycat}
         \end{subfigure}%
         \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.4\textwidth}
                 \centering
                 \includegraphics[width=0.98\textwidth]{frowningcat}
                 \caption{Reflective}
                 \label{fig2:frowningcat}
         \end{subfigure}
% leave a blank line to change row         

\begin{subfigure}[b]{0.31\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.985\textwidth]{scaredbabycat} \caption{Scared} \label{fig2:scared} \end{subfigure} \begin{subfigure}[b]{0.69\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{tiredcat} \caption{Tired} \label{fig2:tired} \end{subfigure} \begin{tablenotes} \item Images in the public domain. \end{tablenotes} \caption{Cats} \label{fig2} \end{figure}

This produces:

    @Pierre, it might be useful to list some other packages you might be using. I have not been able to reproduce the result. Thanks!
