\subtable caption position

Post by cap_gemo »

Hello,

I have the following problem. I make a table with two subtables. Each of them is created by the command \subtable[]{%%% here the subtable body %%%}, which creates a caption, consisting only of a numerating letter ( (a) or (b) ). The problem is, these (a) and (b) letters are ABOVE the subtables and NOT BELOW them, like they are in subfigures. Is there anything that can be done do it? I'd like to have the (a) and (b) below the tables.

Thanks in advance

Tables have their captions above. This is the normal behaviour. From your description I guess that you are using the obsolete subfigure package. Change to subfig or better to caption, which comes with the subcaption package. caption allows customizing captions in many ways. The documentation will tell you how to achieve captions below tables. In case of further questions, feel free to ask.


Best regards

Thanks for your fast reply! You're right, I indeed use the subfigure package. I didn't know it was obsolete. Ok, I'll now try the new ones. Thanks again!
