Analyzing and fixing excessive spacing between figures/tables and text in graduate thesis template.

Plan

  • Analyze current spacing configuration in bithesis.dtx
  • Identify root cause: graduate template has overly aggressive spacing adjustments
  • Create test cases to verify current spacing behavior
  • Adjust figure belowskip from -12pt to -6pt (less aggressive negative spacing)
  • Adjust table belowskip from 6bp + 0.25\baselineskip to 3bp (significantly reduced)
  • Fix algorithm separation spacing from 12pt to 6pt for graduate template
  • Test changes with both floating and H-positioned elements
  • Verify undergraduate template remains unaffected
  • Validate changes don't break existing functionality

Changes Made

Graduate Template Spacing Fixes

  1. Figure caption spacing: Reduced belowskip from -12pt to -6pt

    • Less aggressive negative spacing to avoid overly tight figure-to-text spacing
    • Adjusted corresponding floatsep from +12pt to +6pt for floating figures
  2. Table caption spacing: Reduced belowskip from 6bp + 0.25\baselineskip to 3bp

    • Significantly reduced excessive spacing below tables
    • Addresses user complaints about excessive table spacing
  3. Algorithm environment spacing: Reduced default from 12pt plus 4pt minus 4pt to 6pt plus 2pt minus 2pt

    • More appropriate spacing for graduate requirements
    • Addresses algorithm spacing issues mentioned in comments

Testing Results

  • ✅ Graduate template (master/doctor) now has reasonable spacing
  • ✅ Undergraduate template spacing unchanged (maintains one-line spacing requirement)
  • ✅ Existing float tests pass successfully
  • ✅ Both H-positioned and floating elements work correctly

Impact

This resolves the reported issue where users needed to manually add \vspace{-5pt} before and \vspace{8pt} after figures/tables. The new spacing values provide a better balance between the graduate requirements ("图序、图题、表序、表题单倍行距,段前6磅,段后6磅") and practical usability.

Fixes #584.
