Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Problem with subfloat and captions

[julesneu]

Hi community,
first time I go public with problem, hopefully my MWE is sufficient:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,11pt,%titlepage,
oneside, 
headsepline,headings=small
]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{%natbib, 
amsmath, epstopdf, hyperref, 
 xspace, array,delarray,tabularx, calc, amssymb, %pifont, 
rotating, csquotes, %nicefrac,
%epsfig, %a4wide, 
%makeidx,%times, 
%floatfig,
subfig, caption,
helvet, pdflscape, threeparttable}
\setkomafont{pagehead}{\footnotesize\scshape}
\setcapindent{0.03\textwidth}
\setcapwidth[l]{0.96\textwidth}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\subfloat[captionfig1]{\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure1}}                
  \subfloat[captionfig2]{\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure2}}
  \subfloat[captionfig3]{\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure3}}
  \caption{caption entire figure}
  \label{graphC5}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

The objective is to place three figures next to each other, each with a different subtitle. It took the example from here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floa ... #Subfloats because it is exactly what I wanted.

The problem now ist that the [captionfig1] of figure 1 is placed beneath subfigure 2, the [captionfig3}] of figure 3 gets pushed towards the right and is placed at the edge of the deocument, outside of the box.

Any ideas?

Unfortunately your example is not a MWE because it is not anywhere near minimal. The culprit in this case seems to be your setting for the caption width. But that's not for sure. Perhaps the subfig package causes the trouble. Commenting the concerned line out makes the code work.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[%
  fontsize=11pt,
  paper=a4,
  headings=small
]{scrreprt}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}

\setkomafont{pagehead}{\footnotesize\scshape}
\setcapindent{0.03\textwidth}
%\setcapwidth{0.96\textwidth}

\begin{document}
  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \subfloat[caption fig1]{\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure1}}
    \subfloat[caption fig2]{\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure2}}
    \subfloat[caption fig3]{\includegraphics[width=0.25\textwidth]{figure3}}
    \caption{caption entire figure}\label{fig:graphC5}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Note the demo option for the graphicx package which had to be added because the external graphics files where not present. Just drop it later.


Best regards and welcome to the board

@Thorsten,

Somehow I knew I would not get the MWE right.

I threw the \setcapwitdh out and it worked properly.

Thank you and best regards.
