First of all this is my first posting here on tex.stackexchange.com. I'm new to the tex world and I need a little bit of your help.
I am trying to align text relative to a figure. How it should look like in the end:
The descriptions on the right and left vary in length. They also vary in length for the different pictures. The pictures itself would be of the same dimension. However the figures should stay in the middle of the page which means the caption should end up in the horizontal center under the figures.
The figures are in .png format. I am using pdfLatex.
I tried using several approaches to this problem including placing the png's inside an eps with psfrag reference points for the text however like that i did not see the possibility to center align the actual picture since with psfrag the variable length text will be placed inside the picture and also left alignment of the landslide text was not possible. See example 1.
I tried using the floatrow package to place the text as subcaptions left of the figure. It never really worked and I haven't even started to place the text on the right side of the figure.
So I ended up placing the figures inside a table but again I am having problems aligning the pictures to the center. See example 2 for general tabular idea. See example 3 for central alignment of the blots.
The idea of the tabular is to set the width of the first row to .33\textwidth so the image would always start centered of the page [EDIT: logical error -> see comment, i guess it should be .33\textwidth-.5{width of the figure in the second row of the table}]. In the second row is the figure, in the third row is the other description. I dont want the label on the left side to be flushedright because the description of the figure would always follow this format: IP something WB something, so the IP should vertically align.
Example 3 is close but not perfect... and it's very uncomfortable to setup so maybe there is an easier/more simple approach? I thought of something like that but it does not work properly?
The used figures can be found look like that:
png 
eps

The corresponding test-psfrag.tex contains this code:
