Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ \fbox with caption/subcaption packages

[lauraf]

Hi all,

I am using the caption/subcaption packages and \fbox for the same float. This adds a little extra space on the left side of the images, relative to the caption. The extra space disappears after I remove the \fbox, as shown below. I could not work out why this is or how to fix it. Any ideas?

Many thanks,
Laura

PS Note that the example below is a "minimum quasi-working example": you need to replace "someImage" with the path to an image file that is on your system, obviously

[…] Note that the example below is a "minimum quasi-working example": you need to replace "someImage" with the path to an image file that is on your system, obviously […]

Not necessary because there is the demo option for the graphicx package and the possibility to replace the images by \rule commands of equivalent size [1].

Somehow I can't comprehend the problem. Perhaps it's only a subjective impression. See my list of used files below (obtained by the \listfiles command in the very first line of the example).

What you should see is that Fig. 1a and 2a are not aligned on the left side --- there is some extra space on the left side of Fig. 1a. It seems that the problem lies with adding \fbox to Fig. 1, since the extra space is not there when the bit of code relating to \fbox is removed, as in Fig. 2.

I hope this is clearer --- I would be grateful for any input!

Many thanks,
Laura
