introduce an exception on the package

Post by emcallen »

Hi,

I'm using the following package for the position of my figures and tables : \usepackage[small,bf,nooneline,hang]{caption}.
It works very well, but i would like to introduce one exception: i would like to position just one figure with his caption in the center. I tried only "\center", but this isn't working. Do you have an idea how to introduce this exception?

Thank you already.

Evelien

Using the caption package is a good choice. It provides commands to change the setup of floats locally. Consider the following example.

Code: Select all

Code, edit and compile here:
\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[margin=1cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[font=small,label=bf,singlelinecheck=off,format=hang]{caption}
\usepackage{blindtext}
\setlength{\parindent}{0em}
\begin{document}
\blindtext
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
\caption{A dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-1}
\end{figure}
\blindtext
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\captionsetup{singlelinecheck=on}
\centering
\rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
\caption{A dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-2}
\end{figure}
\blindtext
\begin{figure}[!ht]
\rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
\caption{A dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-3}
\end{figure}
\blindtext
\end{document}

Note the way of passing options to the current version of the package. The second figure is simply centered by a switch and its caption by the local change to the caption setup.


Best regards
