Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Two captions one figure (one above and one below)

[BoudewijnD]

Hi,

I have again a question about the captions.

Would like to have 2 captions for one figure or scheme.

so like

text text text

Figure 1: Cool Figure
<the figure it self>
Reagents: bla, bla and word words

text text text

Scheme 1: Cool Scheme
<the figure it self>
Reagents: bla, bla and word words

text text

So one caption (above) with the float and the number and title of the figure or scheme.
And one caption with some more detailed info over the figure or scheme below.

Who can help me??

Hi BoudewijnD,

you could use a \caption command at the beginning of the float and a \caption command at the end of the float.

I strongly recommand to use the caption package. Besides many formatting options, it offers command variations for labelled and numbered and for unnumbered and not labelled captions.

Hey Stefan,

I tried that but then I get an error Package floatrow Error: Caption(s) lost \caption{the text}

And In the out put file I don't see the first caption either. And the second caption is also numbered what I don't want.

I'm using the caption package

If the floatrow package is loaded the figure environment can handle only a single caption by default.

You can outcome this limitation by placing \RawFloats as very first line of the figure which should contain more-than-one caption.

See floatrow documentation for details.

Ohye I see that now but, that is not really were I was looking for. I wanted a extra unnumbered caption. But I found this to give the result I want, using the \floatfoot command.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\begin{floatrow}
\includegraphics[width=10cm,keepaspectratio=true]{./Chapter2/EPS/converted/Figure1.eps}
\caption{Umbelliferyl chitobioside fluorogenic substrate \compound{4-OH-chito-4Mu} and \compound{4-deoxy-chito-4Mu}.}                                                                                                                      
  % Figure1.eps: 0x0 pixel, 2400dpi, 0.00x0.00 cm, bb=
\floatfoot{\textbf{Reagents and Conditions:}}
 \label{figure1}
\end{floatrow}
\end{figure}

*see pdf in attachment*

This leaves me with one more small problem I want to out line my caption to the left and leave the figure centered. I went to the floatrow pdf a few times but I could not really find were I was looking for. Does anyone have a idea to outline the caption to left??
