Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Can't justify caption with subfig package

[monkey]

I'm using miktex.
When I use subfig package the captions do not full justify. According to documentation captions should full justify by default, but instead they are centered.

When I use the command \captionsetup{justification=justified} captions are centered. However If I change the to raggedright, raggedleft or any other options they work. Only justified doesn't work.

Can someone help?

When I use subfig package the captions do not full justify. According to documentation captions should full justify by default, but instead they are centered.

That's not completely true, they only get justified when they are longer than one single line. Otherwise they got centered by default.

If you want to switch the extra handling of "short" captions off, you could do so with

Code: Select all

\captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off}

or if this should only affect the sub-captions use

Code: Select all

\captionsetup[subfloat]{singlelinecheck=off}

instead.

Unfortunately even for captions that span multi-lines, the justification is still centered. I can't seem to get them to full justify at all.

I'm out of ideas, so I need more information for being able to help.

Would it be possible to post a small but complete LaTeX document which shows the problem?

Here is an example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{revtex4-1}

\usepackage{graphicx}% Include Fig. files
\usepackage{subfig}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[trim = 0 0 0 0, clip, width=\linewidth]{fig.eps}
\caption[]{This is aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa     aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa long caption ......... .......... ............ ............ ............. ............. ....... ........... ........... ........... ........... .......... ........ .......... ............}
\label{fig:label}

\end{figure}

\end{document}

The caption package is incompatible to the revtex document class (and therefore the caption of your example code looks broken):

Code: Select all

Package caption Warning: Unsupported document class (or package) detected,
(caption)                usage of the caption package is not recommended.
See the caption package documentation for explanation.

So I recommend not using the caption package (i.e. load the subfig package with the option "caption=false", see subfig documentation for details), but use the stuff offered by the revtex document class only:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[]{revtex4-1}

\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}% Include Fig. files
\usepackage[caption=false]{subfig} % <=== "caption=false" added

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\includegraphics[trim = 0 0 0 0, clip, width=\linewidth]{fig.eps}
\caption[]{This is aaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa     aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa long caption ......... .......... ............ ............ ............. ............. ....... ........... ........... ........... ........... .......... ........ .......... ............}
\label{fig:label}

\end{figure}

\end{document}
