This is possibly more of a latex question. Is there some packet that can place figures side by side? I know of wrap figure, but I have never made it work very well. I always have to manually manipulate the figure placement and settings, which is somewhat contrary to the idea of LyX/LaTeX.
I'm asking for something more modest. In Latex, as far as I can see, a figure always takes up the whole width of a page (or column). What I want is figures that have less width, and are then AUTOMATICALLY placed side-by-side (e.g., in groups of two). I don't need text to wrap around, just the figures grouped and placed side-by-side. There is the package subfig, which does something like that, but that requires manually grouping figures.
