How to add more spaces between two rows of images in Quarto for PDF output?

Question

I have three images aligned in three rows.

In the same block layout, I have to use

:::{layout="[[1], [-1], [1], [-1], [1]]"}
![](iamge1)
![](image2)
![](image3)
:::

to increase the space between them. But the space is still small.

If I put them into separate blocks, it looks like the same as above.

How can I add more spaces between two rows of images in an PDF output?

Answer 1

Since your output format is pdf, you can use latex command \vspace to increase the vertical space between the figures.

## Quarto


![](placeholder.png){width=20%}

\vspace{2em}

![](placeholder.png){width=20%}

\vspace{2em}

![](placeholder.png){width=20%}

If you need more space increase the value of \vspace{} from 2em to 3em or 4em etc.
