# Adding a different sized, independent, table under another with same caption

I am working on a paper and I need to add a different sized, independent, table under another with the same caption. I have tried and tried but nothing works.

I have made a small, but complete, example of what I have so far:

% Set up the document
\documentclass[a4paper, 11pt, oneside]{Thesis}  % Use the "Thesis" style, based on the ECS Thesis style by Steve Gunn
\usepackage{graphicx} %include pictures
\usepackage{float} % include advanced picture manipulation

\usepackage[table]{xcolor}% http://ctan.org/pkg/xcolor

% Include any extra LaTeX packages required
\usepackage[square, numbers, comma, sort&compress]{natbib}  % Use the "Natbib" style for the references in the Bibliography
\usepackage{verbatim}  % Needed for the "comment" environment to make LaTeX comments
\usepackage{vector}  % Allows "\bvec{}" and "\buvec{}" for "blackboard" style bold vectors in maths

Here is the result:

These are confusion matrices.

Anyways, What I am trying to do is to show two more tables under each of them. So the end result should look something like this:

I have tried a lot of different stuff but it always manages to show in some weird way like on the side and over the other table. I am getting very frustrated about this issue so I hope that someone can help me with this. Thanks.

EDIT: This is the table I want to show under the previous tables:

\begin{tabular}{| c | c | c | c | c | c |}
\hline
a & b & c & d & e & f \\ \hline
0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline
\end{tabular}

• Your example is far from minimal. Please add the table, you try to add here, to your question. What stuff have you tried? We do not want to do the same errors again. Thank you. – LaRiFaRi Apr 29 '15 at 15:11
• Do you want to have a global caption above all of this? – LaRiFaRi Apr 29 '15 at 15:17
• @LaRiFaRi I edited the question to include the table. I have tried to use the \multicolumn and \multirow without success. I don't want a global caption. These are supposed to be two tables (on the left side and the right), each with two tables (top and bottom). I hope that makes sense. – Sigmundur Apr 29 '15 at 15:19
• What happens when you put the tabular code inside the same minipage just after the \scalebox closure and leave an empty/blank line inbetween? – Werner Apr 29 '15 at 15:20
• If I do that then they are aligned horizontally and it will appear on the left side of the bigger table. Tried that also :) – Sigmundur Apr 29 '15 at 15:22

Just add the tabular underneath the \scalebox:

• This one works for some reason. I thought I tried this before. I must have done it in a slightly different way or something. I will use this one for now and if I get no problems with it then I will accept the answer. Thanks. – Sigmundur Apr 29 '15 at 15:35
• @Sigmundur You need that blank line in between the bigger and smaller tabulars (just before %\medskip %% some extra space if needed). If not they go side by side. – user11232 Apr 29 '15 at 15:38
• I see. That is a very subtle thing :) I have a feeling that this blank line was the culprit when I tried a similar thing. But it is working now, thanks to you. I will mark this as the correct answer soon. – Sigmundur Apr 29 '15 at 17:08
