How to change the position of the subfigure label in lyx?

Post by kzaveri »

Hi,
I am using lyx for my thesis, and I have been instructed to the labels ( (a), (b), (c) etc for each subfigure to the top left corner of each image. Lyx has been placing them under the image, and I dont know how to change the positioning. Is there a way for me to do that? I am currently using the option "subfigure" under "Lyx and LATEX" options.
Is there a way to get lyx to change the position of the caption for me?
thanks a lot!

Hi kzaveri,

welcome to the LaTeX Community board!
The subfigure documentation describes how you can solve that.
After one quick look I would think the options FIGTOPCAP, hang, nooneline for subfigure should do that. That means using subfigure this way:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[FIGTOPCAP, hang, nooneline]{subfigure}
By the way subfigure is old and replaced by the subfig package.
