Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ adapting space between table and caption

[emcallen]

Hi,

I would like to change the space between a table and his caption. I learned that you can do it with the command "\abovecaptionskip", but i'm wondering what the exact command is; i suppose that i have to add a distance, but i've tried "\abovecaptionskip{5pt}", but this isn't working.

Does anyone know the exact command?

Thank you,
Evelien

You should adjust this space with the caption package. Load it with a special option.

Code: Select all

\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf,tablepositon=top]{caption}

More details can be found in the manual of the package.


Best regards
Thorsten

\abovecaptionskip is not a command but a length. You can follow the advice of localghost or try \setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{5pt} written in a proper place.

hey there,
I am new here and need some help!
I created a table on Latex but there is not much space between the table and its caption.
What coding can I enter so that it has some spacing between the table and its caption!

My latex coding is:

\begin{table}[h]
\begin{tabular}{| c || c | l |}
\hline
n & \# & parts \\ \hline
1 & 1& 1 \\ \hline

\end{tabular}
\caption{\label{table2}parts}
\end{table}

Any help will be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Please try the solution posted above, i.e. either setting \abovecaptionskip or using the skip= option of the caption package.

If neither works for you we need a minimal but complete example code (and not just a code snipped!) showing the problem, so we can analyse and repair it.
