It is not possible to insert a float object in a table cell. :(

Minipages and floats

[M.Hendler]

Hi all!

I am getting frustrated.

I am trying to place two eps graphics side by side on one line.
Both must have an unique caption.

What I know:
- I don't want to use the subfigure mode. (not acceptable :)
- I tried to use minipages, but LyX does something crap with it.
  I tried to define two minepgaes like you would do to get two columns.
  Then inserted the floats with the pictures in it and voila, got an latex error.
- I searched the archiv and found a latex fragment, dont work either.

So please, how can I place two figures side by side, without the subfigure mode?


Many thanx

Float placement

[M.Hendler]

Hi all!

The placement of  floats drive my crazy!
I am using the book style an set the placement to: !htbp
The problem is, that I have 5 floats (6cm x 4.25cm) which all should be placed
in the text.
But LyX places them on a random style. :)
First 2 are on the first page with the text and the rest on the next page.
The bad thing is that, on the old page a new subsection starts and thats what I really 
hate now.
LyX (or Latex) doesn't take care of the sectioning of a book. I dont want to have the 
floats of
section 2 in section 3 ! Or even floats of section 2.3 in section 2.4!

How can I tell LyX that I really want to have the floats at the place where I have 
inserted them?

I tried all global variations of h, !h and so on.

Any ideas?

Thanx a lot
Matthias
