I want to include a small note (i.e. footnotesize) below a figure. How do I do that? If I use caption, the note has a caption size and interferes with my caption.

Best Answer
To have the legend occupy the same width as the associated graph, one may encase both in a
minipage
environment, as is done in the following MWE (minimum working example). Note the use of\par
at the end of the footnote-sized material. Without the\par
directive -- or a trailing blank line, which is the functional equivalent of a paragraph break in Tex -- you'd get the smaller font size but the wider line spacing that's appropriate for the document's normal font size.Addendum: If you want the explanatory stuff to go after the caption, you could place it in its own separate
minipage
environment, taking care to give it the same width as the graph. (I know there's no arguing about taste, but to me placing the explanatory stuff that far away from the graph doesn't look right.)
