So its a fairly simple question to a problem people normally experience. I have a rough idea of what to do, but I am looking for the correct way of doing things. So in the solution I will include what would be the bare minimum requirements I think would get this problem solved. I am looking for feedback and corrections though. So please tell me, how does one go about creating subfigures within a figure. After that, caption it. Then label it for reference and then refer to it in the text?

Commented Oct 24, 2011 at 11:55You can use the subfig package for this. For a brief guide on how to use it, including captioning, labeling and referencing, have a look at the excellent LaTeX WikiBook section covering it.

1) Using the \subcaption command inside, for example, minipage s; the syntax:
\subcaption[]> 2) Using the subfigure environment.
3) Using the \subcaptionbox command. The syntax:
\subcaptionbox[]>[][]> where is the width of the resulting \parbox ; the default value is the width of the contents. specifies how the contents will be justified inside the resulting \parbox ; it can be either c (for \centering ), l (for \raggedright ), r (for \raggedleft ), or s (for no special justification). The default is c .
Here's a little example, illustrating the three approaches, and the use of \ref and \subref to cross-reference the (sub)figures:
\documentclass \usepackage \usepackage \begin \begin \begin[b] <.5\linewidth>\centering \rule% to simulate a figure \subcaption \label \end% \begin[b] <.5\linewidth>\centering \rule% to simulate a figure \subcaption \label \end \caption \label \end \begin \begin[b] <.5\linewidth>\centering \rule% to simulate a figure \subcaption \label \end% \begin[b] <.5\linewidth>\centering \rule% to simulate a figure \subcaption \label \end \caption \label \end \begin \centering \subcaptionbox>[4cm]<\rule>% \subcaptionbox>[4cm]<\rule> \caption \label \end As we can see in Figure~\ref. Subfigure~\subref of Figure~\ref shows. \end
