I have graphics that I want to present as figures in two-column format (IEEEtrans). I have prepared the graphics and when loaded into LyX they perfectly fit the column width, as I have set the width to be 100% of the column width. This is good.
However, for some figures, I want two graphics to be presented as parts (a) and (b). Following the Embedded Objects manual, I first made a figure float with caption and then into that I pasted two more figure floats which LyX identifies as sub-figures. So far so good. But when I insert the graphics into the sub-figure floats and render to PDF, the graphics have moved very slightly to the right, about half the width of a character or I supposed 1-2 mm, causing the figures to protrude very slightly into either the gutter or the right-hand margin, depending on what column they appear in. There is also a slight bit of movement of the left side of the graphics,by the same amount--the entire graphic has shifted right. I can scale the graphics by 98% and prevent the right-hand overhang, but there is still a noticeable bit of white space to the left. What is causing this slight shift of graphics to the right when they are part of a sub-figure? Jerry
