I am trying to insert two figures side by side in a document and I have followed the instructions indicated on:
http://wiki.lyx.org/pmwiki.php/FAQ/FiguresSideBySide
it is not easy to understand that they are vertically centered. Attached a solution which I prepared long time ago. Replace the images with any other. Or let me know, then I sent you these demo images.
