Resize table and caption

Question

I usually apply a \scalebox to resize things, but I always stumble upon the fact that I cannot simply include a \caption{...} in the \scalebox.

As an alternative to \scalebox, I found I may use \resizebox, but this macro also does not allow me to include \caption{...}'s.

Is there anyway to resize both the tabular and the table's caption?

Answer 1

Here is working example of resizing table together with caption.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\begin{table}[htbp]
  \centering
  \resizebox{0.5\textwidth}{!}{\begin{minipage}{\textwidth}
        \caption{Table caption}
        \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|}
          \hline
          $t_0~(MeV\cdot fm^3 ) $ & $t_3~(MeV\cdot fm^6)$ & $v_0/\mu~(MeV\cdot fm)$ & $1/\mu~(fm)$\\
          \hline
          $$ -497.726 & $17270$ & $-166.924$ & $0.45979$\\
          \hline
        \end{tabular}
      \end{minipage}}
\end{table}

\end{document}
