I use the following code, which I modified from the code I found here (second example), to place a table next to a figure.

However, in comparison to the example linked above, I would like to have the figure caption be placed on the bottom of the figure and the table caption on the top of the table, while both should be aligned correctly at the bottom. So the figure caption should be aligned with the bottom of the table.

Unfortunatly, the following code shifts the table and the figure vertically, such that they are not aligned.

How can I fix that?

documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}

usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

usepackage{babel}

usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}



begin{document}

  begin{minipage}{textwidth}

  begin{minipage}[b]{0.49textwidth}

    centering

    rule{6.4cm}{2.6cm} % Height changed from 3.6cm to 2.6cm

    captionof{figure}{A table beside a figure}

  end{minipage}

  hfill

  begin{minipage}[b]{0.49textwidth}

    centering

    captionof{table}{A table beside a figure}

    begin{tabular}{cc}hline

      Table head & Table head \ hline

        Some values & Some values \

        Some values & Some values \

        Some values & Some values \

        Some values & Some values \

        Some values & Some values \

        Some values & Some values \ hline

      end{tabular}

    end{minipage}

  end{minipage}

end{document}

Edit: Changed height of figure.

Set the tabular to be aligned at the [b]aseline as well:

documentclass{article}



usepackage[

  font = small,

  labelfont = bf,

  tableposition = top

]{caption}



begin{document}



noindent

begin{minipage}{textwidth}

  begin{minipage}[b]{0.49textwidth}

    centering

    rule{5.5cm}{2.6cm} % Height changed from 3.6cm to 2.6cm

    captionof{figure}{A table beside a figure}

  end{minipage}

  hfill

  begin{minipage}[b]{0.49textwidth}

    centering

    captionof{table}{A table beside a figure}

    begin{tabular}[b]{cc}

      hline

      Table head & Table head   \

      hline

      Some values & Some values \

      Some values & Some values \

      Some values & Some values \

      Some values & Some values \

      Some values & Some values \

      Some values & Some values \

      hline

    end{tabular}

  end{minipage}

end{minipage}



end{document}
