[Tex/LaTex] local options for floatrow

floatrow

I am using floatrow and have a global setup with \floatsetup. However I have one subfloatrow in my document which requires different settings. How do I locally adjust the \floatsetup/options for one float?

Best Answer

The command \floatsetup allows the user to specify some options. This specification is always local.

If you do the setup in your preamble the setup is done for the whole document.

To change the setup for a single subfloat you can use \floatsetup inside a group. The floating objects are always a group so you can change \floatsetup inside the object without any effects to other objects.

\usepackage{floatrow}
\floatsetup{....}

.....

\begin{figure}
\floatsetup{...}% all these settings are local to this floating object
\subfloatrow

\end{figure}

You can use the \renewcommand\subfloatrowsep{\hskip 6\columnsep} to increase the figure separation.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{caption,subcaption,floatrow}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\thisfloatsetup{floatwidth=.35\hsize,%
capposition=beside,%
capbesideposition=left,%
capbesidesep=none}
\renewcommand\subfloatrowsep{\hskip 6\columnsep} % figure separation is done here

\begin{figure}
  \ffigbox[\textwidth]{
    \begin{subfloatrow}[2]\useFCwidth
      \fcapside[\FBwidth]{\includegraphics[width=3cm,height=3cm]{test}}{\caption{}}%
      \subfloatrowsep
      \fcapside[\FBwidth]{\includegraphics[width=1cm,height=3cm]{test}}{\caption{}}%
    \end{subfloatrow}}
  {\caption{\blindtext}}
\end{figure}    

\end{document}

In the above if you use some side caption text, you will blow up the layout. In such cases, the following can be used.

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage{caption,subcaption,floatrow}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\begin{document}
\thisfloatsetup{floatwidth=.45\hsize,capbesidewidth=sidefil,
 capposition=beside,capbesideposition=left,capbesidewidth=3.5cm,%subfloatrowsep={.2\FBwidth},%
 capbesidesep=none,}
 \renewcommand\subfloatrowsep{\hskip 1.5\columnsep} % figure separation is done here

\begin{figure}
  \ffigbox[\textwidth]{
    \begin{subfloatrow}[2]%\useFCwidth
      \fcapside[\FBwidth]{\includegraphics[width=3cm,height=3cm]{test}}{\caption{This is caption for A}}%
      \subfloatrowsep
      \fcapside[\FBwidth]{\includegraphics[width=1cm,height=3cm]{test}}{\caption{This is caption for figure B that is long}}%
    \end{subfloatrow}}
  {\caption{\blindtext}}
\end{figure}    

\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] Center subfigure using floatrow

First: you have included floatrow twice.

You can use ffigbox inside a figure environment:

enter image description here

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{tikz,floatrow,hyperref}
\usepackage[hypcap=true]{caption}
\usepackage[hypcap=true]{subcaption}
\usepackage[all]{hypcap} %link to top of figure

% caption format
\captionsetup{format=hang,labelsep=space,indention=-2cm,labelfont=bf,width=.9\textwidth,skip=.5\baselineskip}
\captionsetup[sub]{labelfont=bf,labelsep=period,subrefformat=simple,labelformat=simple}

%center both ?
\floatsetup[figure]{objectset=centering}
\floatsetup[subfigure]{objectset=centering}

\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
        \begin{tikzpicture}
                \draw[fill=blue] (0,0) rectangle (4,4);
        \end{tikzpicture}
        \caption{First}
\end{figure}
\ffigbox[\FBwidth]{%
 \begin{subfloatrow}
  \ffigbox[0.5\textwidth]{%
   \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw[fill=blue] (0,0) rectangle (4,4);
   \end{tikzpicture}}{\caption{First}}
  \ffigbox[0.5\textwidth]{%
   \begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw[fill=blue] (0,0) rectangle (5,5);
   \end{tikzpicture}}{\caption{Second}}%
  \end{subfloatrow}%
 }{\caption{Describing both subfigures}}
\end{document}

Allergy notice: some parts of the above code might be nuts (or needless)

To answer your questions in comments (from the floatrow package manual):

Another command which creates figures - \ffigbox - puts caption below contents. The default width of caption equals to the width of text. [...] a float box, created by the \ffigbox command looks similar to the plain figure environment. But if you set, for example, the option [\FBwidth] [...] you’ll get a caption width equal to the width of picture [...]

There are similar boxes where the caption is placed elsewhere (eg: \fcapside places it beside the figure). As far as I know \floatsetup[subfigure]{objectset=centering} doesn't effect the subfigure environment of the subcaption package but these boxes.

If you hate this stack you can hope that is only my overcomplicated solution and there are better ones. Or you may want to try xpatch (or etoolbox) to do the "global" subcaption centering stuff (instead of using floatrow for that) as a "hail mary"...

\usepackage{xpatch}
\makeatletter
% \subcaption@minipage is the last macro call in \subfigure (and \begin{subfigure})
\xapptocmd{\subcaption@minipage}{\centering}{}{}
\makeatother
