How to control the blank space under a wrapped figure

Post by tl »

Hi all,

I'm using LyX as a Latex editor and I'm trying to put a wrapped figure in my document. I noticed that the very same thing I'm trying to accomplish is already included in the LyX user's guide. There however with the default picture it looks nice, but when I try to replace it with mine the pdf version has plenty of white space under the picture title and I don't seem to have any control over it.

So the question is - how do I get rid of the white space under the picture title

I'm using
LyX v1.6.1
MiKTeX v2.7 on WinXP32

see attached sample files

How to control the blank space under a wrapped figure

The latex wikibook http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Floa ... d_Captions acutally has a section that talks about this. Basically, you just use \vspace{-xx}, where xx is some positive value for the amount of space you want to remove, after the caption. I wasn't able to read the materials that you posted, so if you have already tried this, nevermind. I have used this method to remove white space from under some of my figures and it works pretty good.
