Theses, Books, Title pages ⇒ caption positioning

[rasepideh]

Hi all,

I used this command to import my image inside the text but the problem is that the caption is in the center, so how should I define to start writing caption from left side?
I attached the what it looks like in my thesis.

I hope to hear from you.
Thanks in advance for your help.

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{region}
\caption{Location of river, ditch and observing piezometers within Pasture Meadow, [left figure]; The Digital Elevation Model (DEM) was prepared by applying the kriging method which used measured points from surveying in a 25*25m grid over a 7.5 ha surface area [right figure]. }
\label{region}

You can load the caption package and use the option nooneline.
With the information given, hard to say if this works or if your class is incompatible.

Hi,

Thanks for reply. But, I've already installed and used "Caption" package and it didn't work, or at least I don't know how to use "noonline" option.
I am using "MasterDoctoralThesis.cls" and if I look inside this file then there is

Code: Select all

\RequirePackage[centerlast,small,sc]{caption} % Required for customising the captions
\setlength{\captionmargin}{50pt}

Could kindly let me know how is it possible to fix the captioning position, please?

Thanks in advance for help.

Add before \begin{document}:

Code: Select all

\captionsetup{singlelinecheck=false,justification=raggedright}

Hi,

I tried to put the command in "main.tex" before \begin{document}

but all of the captions are still in the center.

Should I write or change anything when I am writing the "Figure" command?

I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Sepideh

I forgot one line, please test the following.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[
english, % ngerman for German
]{MastersDoctoralThesis} % The class file specifying the document structure
\setlength{\captionmargin}{0pt}
\captionsetup{singlelinecheck=false,justification=raggedright,font=Large}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\caption{This is\ a wombat test}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
