Latex tips and tricks

Here are some tips and tricks I found useful while working with Latex

• If one wants to reduce the spacing between a figure and its caption, use the following command

\begin{figure}[t]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[width=3.5in]{some_image.pdf}
 \vspace*{-1.0cm}
 \caption{some image caption}
 \label{fig:ref_to_some_image}

• If one wants two or more images to be placed on the same page, include them in the same figure environment

\begin{figure}[t]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[width=3.5in]{fig1.pdf}
 \vspace*{-1.0cm}
 \caption{caption 1}
 \label{fig:label1}

\includegraphics[width=3.5in]{fig2.pdf}
 \vspace*{-1.0cm}
 \caption{caption2}
 \label{fig:label2}
 \end{figure}
