[Tex/LaTex] How to remove space between a specific image and its caption

captions

In this post (How to reduce space between image and its caption?) there is an excellent explanation about the way you can reduce space between figures and its captions.

The problem is it works for every figure in the document. How could I change the space between a specific image (just one) and its caption?

Thanks.

You can use the caption package and its skip key inside a \captionsetup with local effect (use the desired length instead of the 0pt I chose for the example):

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\captionsetup{skip=0pt}
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{example-image-a}
\caption{A test caption}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{example-image-b}
\caption{A test caption}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

You can do it with caption package. The space between the caption and the figure is called skip (default is 10pt).

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx} %% Remove [demo] in your file
%\usepackage{caption}
%\captionsetup[table]{font=small,skip=0pt}     %% Adjust here
%or equivalently 
\usepackage[font=small,skip=0pt]{caption}

\begin{document}

  Some text...

  \begin{figure}[htb]
  \begin{center}
  \includegraphics[height=1in,width=1in,angle=-90]{foo}
  \caption{This is a figure.}
  \end{center}
  \end{figure}

   More text...

  \begin{table}[htb]
  \centering
  \caption{This is a table.}
  \begin{tabular}{|c|c|}
    \hline
    % after \\: \hline or \cline{col1-col2} \cline{col3-col4} ...
    1 & 2 \\
    4 & 7 \\
    \hline
  \end{tabular}
  \end{table}

     More text...

  \end{document}

enter image description here

Please note that \captionsetup{font=small,skip=0pt} affects both tables and figures. If you want it separately, you may use:

 \captionsetup[table]{font=small,skip=0pt}

for tables only or

\captionsetup[figure]{font=small,skip=0pt}

for figures only.

[Tex/LaTex] Caption format: Remove space between “Figure” and “1”

Perhaps this, redefining \fnum@figure to remove the \nobreakspace from its middle:

\documentclass{article}
\renewcommand\figurename{Figure}
\makeatletter
\def\fnum@figure{\figurename\thefigure}
\makeatother
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\rule{1in}{1in}
\caption{This is a caption}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

If you wanted to do it in only 1 location (not across the document), you could invoke \let\nobreakspace\relax inside the figure environment, prior to the \caption.
