Hi,
I am new on the list.
I have some problem with figure
I would like to put two flottant figures side by side in Lyx as Fig 1 and Fig 2
Well I dont know if its the best way to do it but what I have done in the past is put the two images in the same float and forced the caption twice with
\caption [text to appear in list of > figures for figure 1]{text to appear directly under the picture for figure 1 }\caption [text to appear in list of > figures for figure 2]{text to appear directly under the picture for figure 2}
see the example attached. Lyx wont be able to find the image so you will need to change it to one of your own.
hope this sort of helps
