Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Space between algorithm body and caption

[sercan]

Hello,

I am using algorithm package with style "boxed". The caption is too close to the box of the algorithm. How can I add some space between algorithm body and caption?

Thanks in advance...

If you load the caption package, you could just use

Code: Select all

\captionsetup[boxed]{skip=6pt}

after loading the caption package. (The default is 2pt)

If you won't use the caption package, you need to copy the relevant code (which is \fs@boxed) out of the float package into the preamble of your document and adapt it.

sorry, I am not so familiar with the environment.

I have a block like this :

Code: Select all

\begin{algorithm}
\caption{Caption ...}
....
\end{algorithm}

where should I put \captionsetup[boxed]{skip=6pt} expression?

Right after \usepackage[...]{caption} in your document preamble. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{float}
\floatstyle{boxed}
\restylefloat{table}

\usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption}
\captionsetup[boxed]{skip=6pt}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[!ht] \def\B#1{$\displaystyle{n\choose#1}$}
\begin{center} \begin{tabular}{c|cccccccc}
$n$&\B0&\B1&\B2&\B3&\B4&\B5&\B6&\B7\\ \hline
 0 & 1\\
 1 & 1&1\\
 2 & 1&2&1\\
 3 & 1&3&3&1\\
 4 & 1&4&6&4&1\\
 5 & 1&5&10&10&5&1\\
 6 & 1&6&15&20&15&6&1\\
 7 & 1&7&21&35&35&21&7&1
\end{tabular} \end{center}
\caption{Pascal's triangle. This is a re-styled \LaTeX\ \texttt{table} with \texttt{skip=6pt}.}
\end{table}

\end{document}

Thank you sommerfee.

It works just fine for algorithms. However, my other captions (for figures and tables) are also affected. Can I force this setting to be applied just for algorithms?

Yes, this setting affects all "boxed" floats.

Use \captionsetup[algorithm]{skip=...} instead.

[sercan]

no, i used \captionsetup[algorithm]{skip=...} but it still affects figures and tables.

interestingly, figures seems different than before

[sommerfee]

no, i used \captionsetup[algorithm]{skip=...} but it still affects figures and tables.

It seems that either your document class or one of your packages is incompatible to the caption package.

Are you able to give me a small but complete example which shows the problem?

[sercan]

I think it is something else related to my environment.
Adding the line \usepackage{caption} is enough the change some pieces.

But \captionsetup[algorithm]{skip=...} works just fine. I have used this for different font sizes, only algorithm captions are affected with new font size.

Thank you sommerfee, you have been extremely helpful
