Dear Mathgroup,
How do I incorporate graphics symbols and lines into a caption for a figure?
The standard presentation for a journal paper is a figure in a frame with
the figure caption underneath containing a description of the lines on the
figure. For example if we have one set of experimental data, dots, and three
models, solid lines, dashed lines and chain dashing the plot could be
constructed as follows
SetOptions[ListPlot,Frame\[Rule] True,Axes\[Rule]False,PlotRange \[Rule]All,
TextStyle\[Rule]{FontFamily->"Times",FontSize\[Rule]10}];
SetOptions[Plot,Frame\[Rule] True,Axes\[Rule]False,PlotRange \[Rule]All,
TextStyle\[Rule]{FontFamily->"Times",FontSize\[Rule]10}];
data= Table[{x,ArcTan[x-5] + Random[]/5},{x,0,10,0.5}];
p0 =ListPlot[data,Prolog\[Rule]{PointSize[0.02]}, DisplayFunction \[Rule]
Identity];
p1=Plot[ArcTan[x-3],{x,0,10},DisplayFunction \[Rule] Identity];
p2=Plot[ArcTan[x-4],{x,0,10},PlotStyle\[Rule]{Dashing[{0.01,0.01}]},
DisplayFunction \[Rule] Identity];
p3=Plot[ArcTan[x-6],{x,0,10},PlotStyle\[Rule]{Dashing[{0.01,0.01,0.001}]},
DisplayFunction \[Rule] Identity];
Show[p0,p1,p2,p3,FrameLabel\[Rule]{"Time / sec","Difficulty /
m"},DisplayFunction \[Rule] $DisplayFunction];
Underneath the graph I would like the following caption.
Figure 8. Comparison of experiment with theory: ??dot dot dot??,
experimental results; ??solid line??, theoretical model 1 Park (2001);
??dashed line??, theoretical model 2 Kuska (2002); ??chain dash??
theoretical model 3 Hanlon (2003).
where the items ??dot dot dot??, ??dashed line?? etc are actually a line of
dots and a dashed line. The graphics for these dots and lines should be the
same size as in the diagram and centred with the text.
Thanks for examples and ideas.
