Text belwo Graphic

Post by rockybalboa »

Hi, I've been trying to place a note below the graphic, but it is not neat if the text is too long. I would like it to be aligned to the left but centered in the graphic. Can someone help me please?

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\begin{center}
\caption{Myfig}
\includegraphics[scale=0.6] {fig}
This is a note This is a note
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Put the image and the note together into a minipage environment.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}{0.6\textwidth}
    \includegraphics[width=linewidth]{filename}\\[\medskipamount]
    This is a note.
  \end{minipage}
  \caption{Myfig}\label{fig:myfig}
\end{figure}
Adapt the width of the minipage environment to your needs.


Best regards
Thorsten
