Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Distance table and text

[Tempowo]

Dear all,

how can I manage the distance between text and table? I would like to have fixed space distance, say for instance 20 mm.

I hope that you can help me.

Many thanks. Greetings!

Hi!

It depends on what you actually do and mean - distance below a tabular or a table environment, below a caption, and what packages are used (caption package used or not) - perhaps show some code, such as a minimal working example.

Hi Stefan,

here is a try:

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper,draft]{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\newcolumntype{L}[1]{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{#1}} 
\newcolumntype{C}[1]{>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{#1}} 
\newcolumntype{R}[1]{>{\raggedleft\arraybackslash}p{#1}} 
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{tikz,pgfplots}
\let\amsboldsymbol\boldsymbol
\usepackage{bm}% changes \boldsymbol
\let\boldsymbol\amsboldsymbol
\usepackage{tikz}
\usetikzlibrary{quotes,shapes,positioning,matrix}
\usepackage{threeparttable}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\usepackage[nottoc]{tocbibind}
\usepackage{enumitem} 
\usepackage{array}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

\usepackage{hyperref}
\usepackage[printonlyused]{acronym}
\usepackage[hang]{footmisc}
\renewcommand{\arraystretch}{1.5}

\begin{document}
\begin{center}
\begin{spacing}{1.0}
\begin{longtable}{p{2.3cm}p{0.5cm}p{10.9cm}lcr} 
$X$ & = & fiv \\

\end{document}

I hope that you can help me.

If you really want to use a longtable environment, it's easy:

\setlength{\LTpost}{10pt}

You can set any value, also negative values.

I would use an align environment, though. This would fit to relation sign spacing in equations.

Thank you very much. However, it doesn't work. Where in the code do I have to paste it?

It should be in the document preamble, that is, before \begin{document}.
