Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ IEEEtran — Centered figure caption wanted

[dbarkai]

Partial solution: turns out centering of the caption works fine when using the 'conference' class option (but not for 'journal' or 'technote'). And, of course, I lose options from formatting options in 'journal' that I'd like to use. So, it is not satisfactory.

The following text centers the figure (from the "include") but not the caption. Is this the /label that gets in the way?

\documentclass[onecolumn,11pt,journal,compsoc]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvips]{color}
\usepackage[cp1250]{inputenc}
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\vspace{1cm}
\includegraphics[scale=0.2]{myfile.eps}
\vspace{-1.5cm}
\caption{A simple 3D stencil}
\label{fig:2}
\end{figure}

Thanks for your help.

This seems to be the default behaviour of the IEEEtran class. I suggest to consult the class manual or the forum search for possible solutions.
