I am trying to import two pdf_tex files into my thesis which I will like to either place side by side or scale. However, I have tried \begin{subfigure}, \sf, both which have failed to place both files side by side. I successfully invoked \svgscale to scale the image, but the text refuses to scale with. Can anyone help out?

I am writing using writeLaTeX (overleaf.com)

You can scale the text separately by changing the \fontsize. However you will have to experiment with the exact value and maybe adjust some text positions in the .pdf_tex file.

\begin{figure}
    \fontsize{7}{9}\selectfont
    \def\svgwidth{.48\textwidth}
    \input{bla.pdf_tex}
    \hfill
    \input{blub.pdf_tex}
\end{figure}

  • Thanks. The \fontsize works flawlessly. However the \hfill seems not to help much. \begin{figure}[!h] \fontsize{7}{9}\selectfont \def\svgscale{0.5} \import{./Figures/blahblah/}{summer.pdf_tex}\caption{the longitudinal resistance}\label{fig:longResistance} \hfill \def\svgscale{0.5} \import{./Figures/Ebeam/HallBar/}{RefMid_Rxysf.pdf_tex} \caption{the Hall resistance}\label{fig:hallResistance}\label{fig:poiuds} \end{figure} This does not place the images side by side

  • @DeleOnipede Please edit your question. In an comment things as line breaks are lost. And please make a minimal working example (MWE) complete with documentclass and the necessary packages.

  • @DeleOnipede try with less than 0.5. Taking into account spaces etc. 0.5 is too big to fit two images side by side.

  • thanks once again. I have solved it. I discovered I placed a caption before call the next file. It's clear now. Thanks so much

Try to split the figure into two / multiple minipage and import / input your pdf_tex file in it.

\begin{figure}[H] \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} \centering \def\svgwidth{1.0\textwidth} \import{Chapters/folder/Pictures/}{Pic1_a.pdf_tex} \end{minipage} \begin{minipage}{.5\linewidth} \centering \def\svgwidth{1.0\textwidth} \import{Chapters/folder/Pictures/}{Pic2_b.pdf_tex} \end{minipage} \end{figure}
