In the example below, how can I change (say, increase) the spacing between the labels and the floats? I tried tweaking the capbesidesep parameter, but it seems to have no effect. Thanks and regards, Jorge.

Example:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{floatrow}

\newlength\mysep \setlength\mysep{1cm}
\DeclareFloatSeparators{mysep}{\hskip\mysep}
\floatsetup[figure]{style=plain,subcapbesideposition=top,capbesidesep=mysep}


\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\sidesubfloat[]{\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image-a}}
\\
\vspace{1cm}
\sidesubfloat[]{\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image-b}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Output: enter image description here

You could modify \labelsep to change the space between the label and the image:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{floatrow}

\floatsetup[figure]{style=plain,subcapbesideposition=top}
\setlength{\labelsep}{3cm}


\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\sidesubfloat[]{\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image-a}}
\\
\vspace{1cm}
\sidesubfloat[]{\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image-b}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

  • Thanks so much, this seems to do the trick :) Do you know why the capbesidesep parameter doesn't work? – dontpanic Aug 3 '18 at 19:58

    @dontpanic With capbesidesep you can modify the distance between the caption of the whole figure and the image. It seems not to be used for labels of subfigures. – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Aug 3 '18 at 21:33
  • oh! I see! thanks for the clarification! :) – dontpanic Aug 3 '18 at 22:43
  • @dontpanic You're welcome! – samcarter_is_at_topanswers.xyz Aug 4 '18 at 13:41

I have put into \sidesubfloat[] an horizontal space of 1 cm \hspace{1cm}. Could it be a convenient solution for you? I hope I have answered your question.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{floatrow}

\newlength\mysep \setlength\mysep{1cm}
\DeclareFloatSeparators{mysep}{\hskip\mysep}
\floatsetup[figure]{style=plain,subcapbesideposition=top,capbesidesep=mysep}


\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\sidesubfloat[]{\hspace{1cm}\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image-a}}
\\
\vspace{1cm}
\sidesubfloat[]{\includegraphics[scale=0.25]{example-image-b}}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

  • Grazie mille, Sebastiano, ma cercavo qualcosa di più generico. Grazie cmq! – dontpanic Aug 3 '18 at 20:01
  • I admit with such sincerity that I am not as good as other users. You absolutely do not have to thank me. I was pleased to answer your question. The best of luck. – Sebastiano Aug 3 '18 at 20:02
