[MiKTeX] Space between figures and its caption

[c***@dei.uminho.pt]

Hi,

Uwe Siart and Francisco A. S. Grossi thanks for the propmt answers to my
question about subfigures package.

I am faced with another problem. I'm inserting some figures (using normal \begin
{figure} without subfigure) from Matlab. These are eps figures. However, my
problem is that it apperas an huge amount of space between the figure and its
caption. Can anyone help me to Reduce this amout of space?


Thanks

Cristina

Hi cristina,
After take account the useful comments from Hans
Fredrik Nordhaug, may be you could try with:

\begin{figure}
\setlength{\abovecaptionskip}{0pt} %In some cases
%this is useful for your purpose
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{file.eps}
\end{center}
\caption{My caption here}
\label{a label here}
\end{figure}}

Best reagards,
Luis A. Payan

Did you use "print -deps filename.eps" in Matlab? If
not, you have an ps
file instead of an eps file. Normally Matlab makes
eps files with tight
bounding boxes (no white space).

PS! This isn't really MiKTeX related and you would
probably have found
your answer by searching on comp.text.tex - either
from

Hi,
I am faced with a problem using the verbatim package. I'm inserting some
listings using
\verbatiminput{File}. However, my problem is that in the File, appear some
'^' characters; so at compilation time by Latex, I obtain the error message:
! Missing $ inserted.

Can anyone help me to solve this problem.
Best regards,
Daniel Poulton

You could show us what you do with a minimal failing example, because=
=20
you're definitely doing something wrong. This works:

\begin{filecontents*}{testfile.tst}
Does ^ cause an error? Nope.
\end{filecontents*}
\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage{verbatim}
\begin{document}
\verbatiminput{testfile.tst}
\end{document}

Possibly you're using \input somewhere instead of \verbatiminput.

Not a MiKTeX specific question:
I know what you don't get (file overwriting
and environment placement options), but is
there anything you do get from the filecontents*
environment that is not offered by the
verbatimwrite environment?

Thanks,

Not really. It's just a way to provide an external file with _standar=
d_=20
LaTeX and I use it regularly for small examples like this. Sometimes =
you=20
want to provide a small package for a user and using the filecontents=
=20
environment is much safer to use than to have the user cut and paste =
=66rom=20
an email and storing the file with the right filename etc.

Thank's for your help. I have found what was wrong : the bad character was
'²' and not '^'.
