How can I put a table and a PNG (using \includegraphics) next to each other in the same figure, in the following way?
+----+
+-----+ |png |
|table| |png |
|table| |png |
+-----+ +----+
Figure 4.1: Caption
So the table and the PNG are aligned at the bottom.
I tried to just put both in a table (2 columns), but the objects are not aligned at the bottom.
You need to align the table with its baseline by passing it the optional [b] placement argument. After that you can just put them side-by-side. Here's an example:
\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}\centering
\begin{tabular}[b]{|cc|}
\hline a & b \\ c & d \\ \hline
\end{tabular}
\qquad
\rule{2cm}{3cm}% = graphic
\caption{Double figure/table combo!}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
