Hi
Since I don't want to spend too much space in my article, I'd like to have a table just next to a figure inside one float.

I want a figure caption on the figure and a table caption on the table.

I've tried different ways but not come up with a satisfying solution. I've scanned the archives but not found anything but how to put two figures/tables side by side, not the both kinds at the same time.


The best I found was to use the nofloat package which has defined tabcaption and figcaption separately. This made it possible to make a one by two table inside a figure environmen, set a fixed width of each column and insert the table and figures inside the cells.

Then manually creating the captions by placing
    ERT: \tabcaption{My table caption}
in the first cell. And
    ERT: \figcaption{My figure caption}
in the second cell.
This is ok, however, I'm not convinced that the nofloat package screws other things up.


I stumbeled over a solution, different from the other proposed, when reading the manual for memoir (which is excellent). Here is the way I think it should be solved. Assuming the first is figure and the second is a table:

1) insert a figure float
2) Insert two minipages side by side, adjusting their widths
   (alternatively a table)
3) insert the graphics and the table
4) on the row after graphis and table inside the minimpages create a
   caption where the caption text is placed.
5) In the minipage with table insert an ERT with the following
       [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Done!

The ERT will tell the caption typesetter that then next caption should be a table.

I'll put this on the wiki as well.
