Here is an example of how I do it usually:

Finding a shortest path from node $a$ to node $e$ using Dijkstra's
algorithm:
.P
.mk
.PSPIC -L dijkstra.eps 10c
.rt
.sp -0.7v
.PSPIC -R dijkstra2.eps 10c

Why the ".sp -0.7v" is needed to achieve alignment, is mystery to me. Could 
somebody explain?

Now, that I think about it, it might be possible to put the images into a table.
But I never tried that.
