When inserting figures in one column of two-column paper, there is too mach blank. Is there any order to make the paper be arranged better. Since the code below is just a example. I would appreciate if you could tell me why the unexpected blank would generate or why the words could't be typed in the blank.

Another question is how the bottom alignment be can achieved, which means the lowest text ,or caption, words in two column are in a line.

Thank you very much!

    I'm not saying this is causing a problem here but you are loading several packages which try to format the same document elements in different ways e.g. subfloat and caption/subcaption, subcaption and subfig. You should load the packages you actually need and try to use the same package, for example, to handle caption and subcaption numbering throughout.

  • subfigure is for use when you have several different diagrams within a single figure. If you only have one per figure, don't use subfigure.

  • @cfr I need to make subcaption for each figure, so I use subfigure. Can you help me arrange this example better? Thank you!

    But you don't need subcaption and subfig. They all support sub-captions in slightly different ways. You aren't even using subfig in the example!

I've removed unnecessary environments and packages. However, I suspect that the real problem must lie in white space in the images themselves or, perhaps, the size of the images is affecting placement. Here's what I get with the demo option for graphicx:

  • This answer make the fourth and the fifth figure don't have a subcaption. So is there other and general way to solve the problem?

  • @DXL I don't really understand. Those figures are just single figures. So they have captions. Why would you want a single figure to have a sub-caption as well? Surely that will just be confusing?
