white space after figures

Question

I tried to remove the white space after figure using \setlength\belowcaptionskip{-10pt} but it didn't work. any help?

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{figure/example-product.PNG}
\setlength\belowcaptionskip{-10pt}
\caption{Future plan for CAT ‘environment’}
\end{figure}

Answer 1

To remove all the space below the figure, you can use \setlength\intextsep{0pt}. This will have to be used outside the float, therefore I put it within curlybraces {} so that it would only be a local change. Put it in the preamble if you want it to affect all figures.

Even though this might solve this issue, as Werner points out, this will not always work depending on where the picture is placed. Therefore, see his answer in Space after float with [h]

Output

Code

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\begin{document}
{\setlength\intextsep{0pt}
\begin{figure}[h]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.8\linewidth]{example-image-a}
\caption{Future plan for CAT ‘environment’}
\end{figure}
}%
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}
