[Tex/LaTex] Cut-Off Subfigure Captions

subfloats

I created a figure with four subfigures (two rows of two subfigures) where each subfigure has a caption below the subfigure. Strangely, the captions for the subfigures in the top row are partially covered by the subfigures in the second row. I can't seem to figure out why that is or how to fix it. An example of the code is given below.

\begin{figure}[ht!]
\begin{center}
\subfigure[$k$~$=$~0.1]{\label{fig:1}\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Fig1}}
\subfigure[$k$~$=$~0.5]{\label{fig:2}\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Fig2}} \\
\subfigure[$k$~$=$~1.0]{\label{fig:3}\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Fig3}}
\subfigure[$k$~$=$~2.0]{\label{fig:4}\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Fig4}} 
\end{center}
\caption{Plots.}
\label{fig:Figs}
\end{figure}

Best Answer

It seems that the borders of the figures itself are not correct. An easy way to check this is to surround each one with a \fbox, e.g. replacing \includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Fig1} with \fbox{\includegraphics[scale=0.4]{Fig1}}.

(Something different: I recommend using \centering instead of \begin{center}...\end{center} because the latter one will produce unwanted vertical space between figure contents and caption.)
