width of the caption to correspond to that of the figure - a workaround I
found through searching the messages here.
Try searching ctan.org for caption-related packages. This sounds like a
common-enough need that it would be very unsurprising if it hadn't been
addressed in some more general way.
Thanks for the advice, the caption package I was using to set other
parameters of the captions allows a function to set the width so now I don't
have to deal with miniboxes. It also has a function to set the gap between
figures and the caption so the other problem is solved too!
As a general rule: If what you want to do seems like something people
will have wanted to do before, search ctan.org.
