Question

I am trying to add a simple figure into my latex code .I have this code :

\begin{figure}[H]
 \resizebox{40pt}{!}{ 
\centering \includegraphics{FigureStereo.jpg}} 
\caption{Epipolar Geometry} 
\label{fig:cclogo} 
\end{figure}

with this however the text comes on top of the image and also image is not centered .What am I doing wrong?Hopefully this is not a repeated question coz I did do a quick check on related posts.
Edited
Here is the preamble

\documentclass[draftthesis,tocnosub,noragright,centerchapter,12pt,]{uiucecethesis09}


\makeatletter

\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{epsfig}  % for figures
\usepackage{graphicx}  % another package that works for figures
%\usepackage{subfigure}  % for subfigures
\usepackage{amsmath}  % for math spacing
%\usepackage{amssymb}  % for math spacing
%\usepackage{url}  % Hyphenation of URLs.
\usepackage{lscape}  % Useful for wide tables or figures.
\usepackage[justification=raggedright]{caption} % makes captions ragged right - thanks to Bryce Lobdell
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{wrapfig}

% Uncomment the appropriate one of the following four lines:
\msthesis
%\phdthesis
%\otherdoctorate[abbrev]{Title of Degree}
%\othermasters[abbrev]{Title of Degree}

\title{}

\author{}
\department{}
\degreeyear{}

% Advisor name is required for
% - doctoral students for the ProQuest abstract
% - master's students who do not have a master's committee
\advisor{}

% Uncomment the \committee command for
% - all doctoral students
% - master's students who have a master's committee
%\committee{Professor Firstname Lastname, Chair\\
%        Professor Firstname Lastname} % etc.

Answer 1

You can use a center environment for centering, wrapping it around both the image box and the caption:

\begin{figure}[h!]
\begin{center}
\resizebox{40pt}{!}{\includegraphics{FigureStereo.jpg}}
\caption{Epipolar Geometry}
\label{fig:cclogo}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

Note, though, that LaTeX can sometimes be pretty stubborn about how it lays out pages where floating elements are concerned. The h option is more of a guideline than a guarantee. In some cases you might be better off not using a floating figure environment and instead inserting the graphics and text directly.

Also, you’re better off asking this sort of question over at the TeX StackExchange site.
