Text Formatting ⇒ align text inside minipage / align caption inside minipage

[paulosousa]

Hello all,

have a problem because caption is not centered with the image inside the 2nd minipage (right)... and how can I justify the text inside the left minipage? Could anyone please help me?

\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[left=2.0cm,top=1.5cm,right=2.0cm,bottom=1.75cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,caption}
\begin{document}
Na Figura \ref{fig:circle} estão representados, em referencial o. n. $xOy$: \\ \\
\vspace{0.05cm}
\hspace{-0.5cm}
\begin{tabular}{lc}
\begin{minipage}{10cm}
\begin{flushleft}
\begin{itemize}
\item o círculo trigonométrico;
\item o raio $[OA]$ do círculo;
\item a circunferência $\mathcal{C}$ de centro $A$ e raio $[AB]$
\end{itemize}
\vspace{0.25cm}
Tal como a figura sugere, o ponto $A$ pertencente ao primeiro quadrante, o ponto $B$ pertencente ao eixo $Oy$ e o ângulo de amplitude $\alpha$, assinalado na figura, tem por lado origem o semieixo positivo $Ox$ e lado extremidade a semireta $\dot{O}A$
\end{flushleft}

\label{fig:circle}

Once again, the example is not compilable.
Please read some introductory material, i never want to see \\ again!

Yes, \\ \\ is a bit strange. The logical paragraph, important for justified typesetting, is not ended here. There are line endings within the same paragraph. \\ is for line breaks in environments, such as rows in tables or matrices, and multi line equations.

You may hear complaints any time about \\. I would just do an empty line for breaking the paragraph. If space would be needed, I would simply use \vspace. You did it already. I would go a step further: using \bigskip or \medskip or my own defined new command, because it's shorter than \vspace with a specific value and more important, I can change the value in the preamble to adjust all such spacings in the final tweaking.
