I use a lot of subfigures in my thesis. What I realize now is that the captions between adjacent subfigures are very close together, which makes them hard to read.
My two questions are therefore:
(1) How can the default distance between two subfigures be increased?
or
(2) How can the default width of a subfigure caption be decreased?
Example code:
\usepackage{subfigure}
...
\begin{figure}[h!t]
\centering
\subfigure[long long caption]{
\includegraphics{filename1}
}
\subfigure[another long caption]{
\includegraphics{filename2}
}
\caption{two subfigures}
\end{figure}
Thx

It depends on that you use
subfig
,subcaption
or thesubfigure
package (this last actually deprecated in CTAN).An example with the deperecated
subfigure
:Another solution is to use subcaption package (not compatible with subfigure) as is or with some options, since spacing among subfigures are as in any other floats. Example:
Similarly, with
subfig
package you can also control space between subfloats simply with commands as\qquad
and also control many subcaptions options. See the documentation packages.
