Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Table caption left justify + figure caption center

[kubanecxxx]

Hi people,
I'm solving this problem in my bachelor thesis. I used this code to get a left justify, but I would need it only for a table enviroment.
Thank you

Code: Select all

% Here it is: the code that adjusts justification and spacing around caption.
\makeatletter
% http://www.texnik.de/floats/caption.phtml
% This does spacing around caption.
\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{2pt}   % 0.5cm as an example
\setlength{\belowcaptionskip}{2pt}   % 0.5cm as an example
% This does justification (left) of caption.
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{#1: #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
#1: #2\par
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb@xt@\hsize{\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
\makeatother

Forget that code snippet and use the caption package.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,english]{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{babel}
\usepackage[includeheadfoot,margin=3cm]{geometry}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,tableposition=top]{caption}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\captionsetup[table]{singlelinecheck=off}

\begin{document}
  \blindtext

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}

  \blindtext

  \begin{table}[!ht]
    \caption{Dummy table}\label{tab:dummy}
    \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
  \end{table}

  \blindtext
\end{document}

Best regards and welcome to the board
