Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problem with subfloat captions on one line under figures

[Cham]

I'm having a problem with the subcaptions under two figures, which should stay on a single line. Here's a MWE to show the problem. How to fix this code, so the subcaptions stay on a single centered line under their figure ?

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,oneside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage[left=0.75in,right=0.75in,top=0.5in,bottom=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{here}
\usepackage{subfig}
\captionsetup{figurename=Figure,margin=1cm,format=hang,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={it}}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{margin=0cm,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={up}}

\begin{document}

Blabla bla :

\bigskip

	\begin{figure}[H]
		\centering
		\subfloat[Le multimetre Fluke.]{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{pict1.png}}
		\qquad\qquad\qquad
		\subfloat[Le multimetre Agilent.]{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{pict2.png}}
		\caption{Bla blabla bla bla.}
	\end{figure}

\end{document}

Here's a preview, with the problem exposed in red :

There simply isn't enough room for the caption in one single line. Personally, i prefer package subcaption:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[10pt,oneside]{scrartcl}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[french]{babel}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage[left=0.75in,right=0.75in,top=0.5in,bottom=0.5in,includehead,includefoot]{geometry}
\usepackage{graphicx}
%\usepackage{here}
\usepackage{subcaption}
\captionsetup{figurename=Figure,margin=1cm,format=hang,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={it}}
\captionsetup[subfigure]{margin=0cm,font=small,format=plain,labelfont={bf,up},textfont={up}}

\begin{document}

Blabla bla :

\bigskip

\begin{figure}%[H]% if you need H, better not use a float after all
\centering
\subcaptionbox{Le multimetre Fluke.}{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image-a.png}}
\qquad\qquad\qquad
\subcaptionbox{Le multimetre Agilent.}{\includegraphics[width=3.66cm]{example-image-b.png}}
\qquad\qquad\qquad
\subcaptionbox{Le multimetre Agilent.}[3.7cm][c]{\includegraphics[width=3cm]{example-image-b.png}}
\caption{Bla blabla bla bla.}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Ah, ok, I see.

But is there a way to fix the code I've posted, without changing the package ?

Code: Select all

\subfloat[Le multimetre Fluke.]{\quad\includegraphics[width=3cm]{pict1.png}\quad}

[Cham]

Thanks for the trick. I'll try this, but the other solution appears to work too.
