captions
everyone.
I would like to achieve a figure caption like this:
Figure1: Text.
I've read a lot of answers about caption format and I know how to change the text "Figure" but I still don't know how to remove the space between "Figure" and "1".
If anybody knows the answer I'll appreciate your help. Thank you!
I don't think using three different formats for the numbering of subfigures is good. Anyway, here it is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{labelsep=period,justification=centering,singlelinecheck=off}
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{rightparen}{#2)}
\usepackage{subfig}
\captionsetup[subfloat]{labelformat=rightparen}
\showcaptionsetup[uniq]{subfloat}
\usepackage{xparse}
\ExplSyntaxOn
\seq_new:N \g_akj_subfloat_seq
\NewDocumentCommand{\xsubfloat}{ m m }
{
\akj_subfloat:nn { #1 } { #2 }
}
\NewDocumentCommand{\makexcaption}{o}
{
\caption{\IfNoValueF{#1}{#1~}Subfigures:~%
\seq_use:Nnnn \g_akj_subfloat_seq {;~} {;~} {;~}}
}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \akj_subfloat:nn #1 #2
{
% initialize
\int_compare:nT { \value{subfigure} = 0 }
{ \seq_gclear:N \g_akj_subfloat_seq }
% do the subfloat
\subfloat[]{#2}
% store the subcaption
\seq_gput_right:Nx \g_akj_subfloat_seq { (\exp_not:N\textit{\alph{subfigure}}) ~ \exp_not:n { #1 } }
}
\ExplSyntaxOff
\renewcommand{\thesubfigure}{\textit{\alph{subfigure}}}
\makeatletter
\def\p@subfigure{\thefigure\,}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\xsubfloat{subfigure A}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-a}%
}
\xsubfloat{subfigure B}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-b}%
}
\xsubfloat{subfigure C}{%
\rule{100pt}{50pt}%
\label{fig:subfig-c}%
}
\makexcaption\label{fig:figures}
\end{figure}
See Figures~\ref{fig:subfig-a}, \ref{fig:subfig-b} and~\ref{fig:subfig-c}.
\end{document}
The \makexcaption command has also an optional argument for text going before the list of subcaptions, so
\makexcaption[Some text.]
would produce
Figure 1. Some text. Subfigures: (a) subfigure A; (b) subfigure B; (c) subfigure C
Beware of unprotected end-of-lines in the arguments of \subfloat, that are the cause of your spurious spaces.
You could just add \hfil or \hfill (try what you like more) between your two figure. This will "push" the two images to the margins and put some blank space between them.
Here is a version with minipage and one with subfigure from subcaption. If the \hfill is not possible for you, you should take a look on the command \subcaptionbox in the documentation here. If your images do have different heights, neither my [t]-alignment nor a [b] alignment will look nice, as the captions do have different length. \subcaptionbox offers a possibility to manage such cases.

Perhaps this, redefining
\fnum@figureto remove the\nobreakspacefrom its middle:If you wanted to do it in only 1 location (not across the document), you could invoke
\let\nobreakspace\relaxinside thefigureenvironment, prior to the\caption.
