Minipage/subfigure issue - creating a set of 4x3 graphs (12 total)

I am trying to fix a 4 by 3 set of graphs, with caption, on a .tex file. The result I want to achieve is the following:



enter image description here



(this was done in Word. Yes, that's lame, I know.)



The code for each small graph is the following:



begin{tikzpicture}
draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
end{tikzpicture}


I've tried a bunch of subfigure/minipage options but the result I am getting is far from ideal (below)



begin{minipage}[b]{0.3linewidth}
centering
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
end{tikzpicture}
end{minipage}%%
begin{minipage}[b]{0.3linewidth}
centering
begin{tikzpicture}
draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...

draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
end{tikzpicture}
end{minipage}%%

I've fixed the positioning, but not (yet) the caption. Can someone give me a hint?

  • Use minipage like you did but add a hfill between them. To start a new row just add a linebreak. You can add a caption with captionof{figure}{your caption} from the caption package or from KOMA-Script if you're using it

  • you don't need subfigure or minipages or anything, just put the tikzpicture one after the other and latex will arrange them into lines, just as it does any other paragraph

    The problem is that tikzpicture works with actual paper dimensions (default is cm), so you explicitly told it to make a picture larger than textwidth/3. You probably want resizebox...

    please do not edit solutions in to the question it makes it very hard to answer. Also you have not provided an example document that makes it easy for people to see the problem or test answers.

  • Use minipage like you did but add a hfill between them. To start a new row just add a linebreak. You can add a caption with captionof{figure}{your caption} from the caption package or from KOMA-Script if you're using it

  • you don't need subfigure or minipages or anything, just put the tikzpicture one after the other and latex will arrange them into lines, just as it does any other paragraph

    The problem is that tikzpicture works with actual paper dimensions (default is cm), so you explicitly told it to make a picture larger than textwidth/3. You probably want resizebox...

    please do not edit solutions in to the question it makes it very hard to answer. Also you have not provided an example document that makes it easy for people to see the problem or test answers.

    Using the hint from @PhelypeOleinik that one need resizebox the following will do the basic grid layout.



    documentclass{article}
    usepackage{graphicx, tikz, caption}

    begin{document}
    begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
    resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
    begin{tikzpicture}
    draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
    draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
    draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
    end{tikzpicture}
    }
    captionof{figure}{test}
    end{minipage}
    hfill
    begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
    resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
    begin{tikzpicture}
    draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
    draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
    draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
    end{tikzpicture}
    }
    captionof{figure}{test}
    end{minipage}
    hfill
    begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
    resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
    begin{tikzpicture}
    draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
    draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
    draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
    end{tikzpicture}
    }
    captionof{figure}{test}
    end{minipage}

    begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
    resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
    begin{tikzpicture}
    draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
    draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
    draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
    end{tikzpicture}
    }
    captionof{figure}{test}
    end{minipage}
    dots
    end{document}


    Each minipage is using 30 % of the available linewidth. The gap between the minipages get automatically filled by hfill.

      little late ... but it may help someone :-)



      i would draw your diagrams with the pgfplots package. using it is simple to define size of diagrams in dependency from textwidth and preserve drawn functions' domains independent from diagram size. it also enable adding diagrams titles with option title:



      documentclass{article}
      usepackage[margin=30mm]{geometry} % define page layout

      usepackage{pgfplots}
      pgfplotsset{compat=1.16}

      %---------------- show page layout. don't use in a real document!
      usepackage{showframe}
      renewcommandShowFrameLinethickness{0.15pt}
      renewcommand*ShowFrameColor{color{red}}
      %---------------------------------------------------------------%

      begin{document}
      begin{figure}[htbp]

      ymin=-4.8, ymax=4.8, ytick={-4,-3,...,4}, yticklabels={},
      xlabel=$x$, ylabel=$y$,
      xlabel style = {anchor=west, font=footnotesize},
      ylabel style = {anchor=south, font=footnotesize},
      title style = {yshift=1mm},
      %
      every axis plot post/.append style={very thick, color=blue!50, smooth},
      }
      begin{tikzpicture}

                Using the hint from @PhelypeOleinik that one need resizebox the following will do the basic grid layout.



                documentclass{article}
                usepackage{graphicx, tikz, caption}

                begin{document}
                begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
                resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%

                draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
                draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
                draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
                end{tikzpicture}
                }
                captionof{figure}{test}
                end{minipage}
                hfill
                begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
                resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
                begin{tikzpicture}
                draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);

                end{tikzpicture}
                }
                captionof{figure}{test}
                end{minipage}
                hfill
                begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
                resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
                begin{tikzpicture}
                draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
                draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
                draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
                end{tikzpicture}
                }
                captionof{figure}{test}
                end{minipage}

                begin{minipage}{.3linewidth}
                resizebox{linewidth}{!}{%
                begin{tikzpicture}
                draw[help lines, color=gray!30, dashed] (-4.9,-4.9) grid (4.9,4.9);
                draw[->,ultra thick] (-5,0)--(5,0) node[right]{$x$};
                draw[->,ultra thick] (0,-5)--(0,5) node[above]{$y$};...
                end{tikzpicture}
                }
                captionof{figure}{test}
                end{minipage}
                dots
                end{document}


                Each minipage is using 30 % of the available linewidth. The gap between the minipages get automatically filled by hfill.

                        i would draw your diagrams with the pgfplots package. using it is simple to define size of diagrams in dependency from textwidth and preserve drawn functions' domains independent from diagram size. it also enable adding diagrams titles with option title:

                            i would draw your diagrams with the pgfplots package. using it is simple to define size of diagrams in dependency from textwidth and preserve drawn functions' domains independent from diagram size. it also enable adding diagrams titles with option title:
