# Table Caption below the Table

I am writing a paper and I would like to have the caption of the table below the table instead I have it on top of it.

This is my code:

    \documentclass{article}
% The style file
\usepackage{imav}
% Use the postscript times font!
\usepackage{times}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{algorithm}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{epstopdf}

%\numberwithin{algorithm}{chapter}
%\usepackage{algorithmicx}
% the following package is optional:
%\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{savesym}
\usepackage{subfigure}

\savesymbol{iint}
\savesymbol{iiint}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{txfonts}


The table is inserted in this way:

\begin{table}
\caption{$c_DA,c_LA$ at wind speed of 9.6 m/s and different pitch angles ($\beta=0\degree$ and $\textbf{T}=0$).}
\label{table:draglift1}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|}
\hline
\textbf{$\text{Pitch Angle } (\alpha)$}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{$\mathbf{V_w=9.6\,m/s}$}\\
\hline
$-10\degree$&$c_DA=0.0143$&$c_LA=0.0054$\\
\hline
$0\degree$&$c_DA=0.0142$&$c_LA=0.0017$\\
\hline
$10\degree$&$c_DA=0.0119$&$c_LA=-0.0028$\\
\hline
$20\degree$&$c_DA=0.0139$&$c_LA=0.0018$\\
\hline
$30\degree$&$c_DA=0.0119$&$c_LA=0.0033$\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{table}


• just move the caption line after the \end{tabular} – FionaSmith May 8 '14 at 21:22
• Beware there will probably be a problem with vertical spacing between the caption and the table/following text. In such a case, swap abovecaptionskip and \belowcaptionskip. – Bernard May 8 '14 at 22:12

You can put the caption below the table as suggested by FionaSmith. To take care of the spaces (about which Bernard alerted you above), use caption package and issue

\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{position=bottom}   %% or below


You are good to go.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{position=bottom}
% Use the postscript times font!
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[per-mode=symbol]{siunitx}
\usepackage{bm}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{document}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|l|l|}
\hline
\textbf{$\text{Pitch Angle } (\alpha)$}&\multicolumn{2}{c|}{$\mathbf{V_w=9.6\,m/s}$}\\
\hline
$\SI{-10}{\degree}$&$c_DA=0.0143$&$c_LA=0.0054$\\
\hline
$\SI{0}{\degree}$&$c_DA=0.0142$&$c_LA=0.0017$\\
\hline
$\SI{10}{\degree}$&$c_DA=0.0119$&$c_LA=-0.0028$\\
\hline
$\SI{20}{\degree}$&$c_DA=0.0139$&$c_LA=0.0018$\\
\hline
$\SI{30}{\degree}$&$c_DA=0.0119$&$c_LA=0.0033$\\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{$c_DA,c_LA$ at wind speed of \SI{9.6}{\meter\per\second} and different pitch angles ($\beta=\SI{0}{\degree}$ and $\mathbf{T}=0$).}
\label{table:draglift1}
\end{table}
Some text
\end{document}


Also, it is better to use siunitx to typeset units as I did.

It seems that OP forgot on her/his question ...

Anyway for exercises with considering last note in Harish Kumar answer below is variation of his answer. In it used horizontal rules from booktabs packages and for number formatting is used S column type. Beside this I rearrange table that it is now (according to my taste) more aesthetic and easier to read:

\documentclass[twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[table]{position=bottom}
% Use the postscript times font!
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage[per-mode=symbol]{siunitx}
\usepackage{bm}
%\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{booktabs}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
\lipsum[2]
\begin{table}[htb]
\centering
\begin{tabular}{S[table-format= 2.0]<{\si{\degree} }
*{2}{S[table-format=-1.4]}}
\toprule
\multicolumn{1}{c}{\textbf{Pitch Angle}}  &
\multicolumn{2}{c}{$\mathbf{V_w=9.6\,m/s}$}    \\
\cmidrule(lr){2-3}
{$(\alpha)$}            &   {$c_{DA}$}  &   {$c_{LA}$}      \\
\midrule
-10             &   0.0143      &   0.0054          \\
0             &   0.0142      &   0.0017          \\
10             &   0.0119      &   -0.0028         \\
20             &   0.0139      &   0.0018          \\
30             &   0.0119      &   0.0033          \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\caption{Coefficients $c_{DA}$ and $c_{LA}$ at wind speed of \SI{9.6}{\meter\per\second} and different pitch angles ($\beta=\SI{0}{\degree}$ and $\mathbf{T}=0$).}
\label{table:draglift1}
\end{table}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}


Other tiny changes are evident from image and above MWE.
