[Tex/LaTex] Change line in caption [IEEE Access journal template]

captionsfloatsieeetran

I want to place a multiline caption for a figure using the IEEE Access template.
The template is like this:

\Figure[t!](topskip=0pt, botskip=0pt, midskip=0pt){fig1.png}{<caption>\label{fig1}}

I have tried using \\ and \newline but they don't do the trick.
Is that possible?

Edit: I provide a code snippet

\documentclass{ieeeaccess}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
Text
\Figure[](topskip=0pt,botskip=0pt,midskip=0pt)[width=1\textwidth]{fig1.png}
    {First line\\
     Second line\\
     Third line
     \label{<figure_label>}}
\end{document}

And a link to the template: IEEE Access template.
I apologise for any errors as I am very new to this!

It is possible, but I wasn't sure if the changes we made were not distorting the template. Because the multiline caption for figure or tables requires the caption package. Your template does not use this package.

Of course it's up to you whether you use it or not.

Add the following code lines to your preamble:

\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFont{ieeeblue}{\color{accessblue}}
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{myformat}{\figcapfont{\textbf{#1}\textbf{#2}}}
\captionsetup{labelfont={bf,ieeeblue},labelformat=myformat}

You have basically two simple tools.

You need to push them together with \vspace{-x mm} and use \newpage to break the column.
Also to keep them spreading apart on the same column you have to put \enlargethispage{-9.5cm} after the last entry on the last page.

It always needs tweaks but you don't need to worry as IEEE will ruin your article after receiving the master copy anyway (Confirmed many times by my own experience!).

[Tex/LaTex] Lyx cross refernce to figures not working when there is a new line between caption and label

When you mention "hyperlink to the figure", I assume you're referring to the hyperlink from the LoF. Yes, that's all based on the \caption, which is set correctly. However, as is clear from your example code, inserting a newline in LyX actually creates a separate group around the caption:

\begin{figure}[h]
\noindent \begin{centering}
\includegraphics[<opts>]{<filename>}\caption{<caption>}

\par\end{centering}

\noindent \centering{}\label{<label>}
\end{figure}

From the above we can see that \caption is placed inside a centering group. Now, according to Understanding how references and labels work you'll see that \label uses \@currentlabel - a macro that is updated when you step a counter. In this case the counter is stepped as part of the call to \caption. However, this update is reverted when the group is closed, because the update is only local to the group that its used in.

So it seems you should NOT put an empty line between the \caption and \label in LyX. It's just the way LyX interprets new lines within structures that seems strange. Of course, as a GUI-like editor for LaTeX, it attempts to remove some of the code-like insertions from the user. However, with this intuitiveness comes some assumptions... something that is clearly incorrectly interpreted in this case.
