I need to control the horizontal spacing between my figure and the related caption, which I am putting on the right of it by sidecap
. How can I achieve it? Using floatrow
instead of sidecap
, is not an option for me due to some proprietary documentclass
I need to work on which is not compatible with floatrow
. I tried by setting skip
in the caption
package in the preamble, but it does not work apparently.
The MWE is:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
% Some basic caption settings
\usepackage[style=base,skip=0pt]{caption} %% `skip` here does not seem to have any effect
\captionsetup{font=footnotesize,labelfont=bf,labelsep=period}
% caption on the top right
\usepackage[rightcaption]{sidecap}
\sidecaptionvpos{figure}{t}
\begin{document}
\begin{SCfigure}
\includegraphics[width=0.8\textwidth]{name}
\caption*{This is going to be a long caption, and I need to have it as much as possible within the figure space, so I want to control the horizontal space between figure and caption optimally...}
\end{SCfigure}
\end{document}
