Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ align left in subfigure captions

[jbdreamworksnv]

Hi, does anyone know how you can align a subfigure caption to the left? As default, the subfigure captions are justified.

I tried \raggedright in the square brackets but this didn't help.

My code

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[p]
\begin{center}
\subfigure[non-collimated projection and observation with crossed optical axes]
{\label{1a}\includegraphics[scale=0.1625]{fig1a.png}}
\subfigure[non-collimated projection and observation with crossed optical axes2]
{\label{1b}\includegraphics[scale=0.1625]{fig1b.png}}
\subfigure[non-collimated projection and observation with crossed optical axes3]
{\label{1c}\includegraphics[scale=0.1625]{fig1c.png}}
\end{center}
\caption{general caption}
\label{1}
\end{figure}

It would be very helpful if you tell us which package you use for your sub-figures. This is best done by providing a minimal example that clearly shows what you are doing. In case you use the obsolete subfigure package, think about using another one like floatrow or »subcaption« (shipped with caption).

AFAIK the subfigure has a package option called "nooneline" or similar to suppress the horizontal centering of short captions. Take a peek at the package documentation.

Thanks for your reactions.

LocalGost: I indeed use the 'obsolete' SUBFIGURE package. I am preparing a paper for publication in a journal, and the template and guidelines explicitly request to only use this package.

SommerFee: I browsed the package documentation before. However, now I found near the NOONELINE explanation that I need to use RAGGEDRIGHT, but not in the caption itself but as option/declaration in the header. It is solved.

Thx

These guidelines have to be strongly revised. And somebody should tell the persons in charge at the journal about that.
