I have created side-by-side images in Lyx using this link

It works just fine in 1-column article. But If I switch to two columns, images started to overflow page. I have set image scale for each of the images separately.

How to use images in two columns to be aligned, or some of them to be space across two columns?

I need this solution inside Lyx, so conversion into Tex and then modify Tex is not possible.

  • The first part (two pictures in one column) seems to work for me. Can you provide a minimal working example?

  • Welcome to TeX.SX! Please help us help you and add a minimal working example (MWE) that illustrates your problem. Reproducing the problem and finding out what the issue is will be much easier when we see compilable code, starting with \documentclass{...} and ending with \end{document}.

  • To make a float span the two columns, right click float: figure, choose Settings, and check the box for Span columns.

  1. Insert > Float > Figure.

  2. Inside float figure: Insert > Box > Frameless.

  3. Inside Frameless: Add your first image, then Insert > Caption to add the caption.

  4. Inside float figure (but outside the first frameless box): Insert > Box > Frameless.

  5. Inside frameless: Add your second image, then Insert > Caption to add the caption.

  6. Right click on the frameless box, choose frameless option then make the width under 50%, like 40%.

  7. If you make the width of frameless1 and frameless2 like 40,40% i think you solved your problem.

    Forgive me, my edit and (now deleted) comment was a bit arrogant. I didn't realize that LyX automatically adds subfloats when adding figures within figure. Edit: Do roll back your answer to the original version if you prefer that.
