Left-justified caption

Post by energy382 »

Hey guys,

I've some problems with the caption of my figures. I want them to be left-justified as the figure number.
I know the caption package, but as I kow (and read in the manual) it's not used to change the direction of the caption, only font and size.

The attached image clarifies the problem.

I use report (KOMA script) as documentclass.

Any help is highly appreciated. ;)

Regards,
Christoph

Hi Christoph,

you forgot to attach the PDF document. Btw. you could also add a LyX document as attachment.

This is not true, one can adjust the formatting etc. with the caption package as well.

How did you typeset that particular figure? If have typeset it using the wrapfig package, and if you want to change the format of these captions only, you could give \captionsetup[wrapfigure]{format=plain} a try.
