Figure and subfigures titles should be left justified












2















Could you please give me some advice about this situation?
Thank you so much.



I would like to move all the titles to the left.



But if we want to draw the following figure with 2 subfigures then we have to use packages "caption" and "subcaption", but these two packages will not allow us to move all the figure titles to the left.

you have more problems with your code:




  • in preamble of your mwe you have some packages loaded twice

  • document class svjour3 load graphicx, so you not need to load them (twice!)


  • tikz is not able to handle so accurate defined coordinates as you use. it is sufficient to round them to two decimals

  • for your problem are relevant only the following packages: tikz, subcaption and hyperref.

  • float environments should not be inside other environments like center or minipage ...

  • for left align of caption and sub-captions use caption set up captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off}


edit:
mostly of topic ...




  • your image code is really unnecessary complicated

  • it is far more simple (to my experiences) for your geometric elements use shapes defined in tikz package (rectangle, circle`)

you have more problems with your code:




  • in preamble of your mwe you have some packages loaded twice

  • document class svjour3 load graphicx, so you not need to load them (twice!)


  • tikz is not able to handle so accurate defined coordinates as you use. it is sufficient to round them to two decimals

  • for your problem are relevant only the following packages: tikz, subcaption and hyperref.

  • float environments should not be inside other environments like center or minipage ...

  • for left align of caption and sub-captions use caption set up captionsetup{singlelinecheck=off}


edit:
mostly of topic ...




  • your image code is really unnecessary complicated

  • it is far more simple (to my experiences) for your geometric elements use shapes defined in tikz package (rectangle, circle`)

  • for caption and sub-captions set up see documentations for caption and subcaption packages, both are part of your LaTeX installation
