centering the figure and justifying its caption

Post by Amlaser »

How can I center the figure and justify its caption at the same time? Normally, I use \centering to center the figure, but it centers the caption also. I don't need this. I need to center the figure and justify its caption. Can anyone help?

Regards

Usually using \centering inside a figure environment does not center the caption. So a Infominimal working example would be useful. Maybe you are mixing this up with the default centering of one-line captions? You can switch this of using package caption. See the package manual for more information.

Here is an example

Code: Select all

      \begin{figure}[h]
      	\centering
      	\includegraphics[scale=0.30]{Figures/Figure}
      	\caption{XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.}
      	\label{RelativeIntensity}
      \end{figure}

Hi Amlaser,

I marked the code in your post. That can be done with the "Code" button when writing a post. The benefit is that it's much better readable and can be compiled to PDF in a single click. (even this incomplete snippet, with limited guessing auto-completion).

Also I would use the caption package, the settings are explained in the caption manual.

Thanks Stefan,

Actually, I'm new here and I couldn't express what I meant well.
Thanks again
