Tables of figures

[alobo]

I normally use tables to arrange figures within a page
(i.e., a 2col x 1 row for 2 figures)
The problem is that normally figures get reshaped (and distorted) to fit
the cell, while what I would like is to get the cell shape
to fit the figure. How can I do it?
Also, is there a better way to arrange figures in a page?
I’ve tried using columns, but I have the same problem: figures get reshaped
and do not keep their width x height ratio.

Thanks
