I have a huge number of plots that I want to insert in longtable to make a figure table, possibly ranging several pages.

However I am not able to scale the figures inside each table cell in such a way that they do not overlap with horizontal and vertical lines in the table. If I simply reduce the width of each table cell, the cell and the figure are reduced the same factor and the figure still overlaps with the lines.

Can anybody help me with a code change that avoiding this overlap?

In addition, how do I place the "figure lacking" text in the middle of their cells, horizontally and vertically?

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I am not able to correctly format my code lines in this window. I am using Ctr-K and four spaces. How to do this correctly?

Add this to your preamble:

usepackage{cellspace}

setlength{cellspacetoplimit}{3pt}

setlength{cellspacebottomlimit}{3pt}

and the first line of the longtable code with

begin{longtable}{|Sc|Sc|Sc|}

(if you load siunitx replace Sc with Cc).
