[texhax] two figures side by side

Quoting Reinhard Kotucha (reinhard.kotucha at web.de):

Alternatively specify both, and add keepaspectratio to the list of options.
This uses the maximum size filling the given width x height space which
does *not* change aspect ratio:
\includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth,0.8\textheight,keepaspectratio]{...}

Hope that helps,
