I am trying to have the cell on the left be aligned with the three cells on the right, so that they all start at the same height:
\begin{tabular}{lp{2.5in}}
\multirow{3}{*}{\raisebox{-.1\height}{\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{plot.pdf}}} &
child:
lots of text here
&
parent:
lots of text here
$\,$
&
grandparent
lots of text here
\end{tabular}
right now, the cell on the right is much higher than the cell on the left.
I tried raisebox, as can be seen in the code, but it doesn't raise the image. I tried both -.1 and .1, I tried various numbers - the raisebox does not have any effect. I think it is related to the fact I am using multirow.
Is there a way to vertically align the image and the cells on the right?
I will also mention that the cells on the right do not overflow at the bottom, there is definitely space where you could fit it and "lower" them.
