   \caption{Comparison of displacement profiles perpendicular to the
     fault in the Savage and Prescott benchmark during earthquake
-    cycles 2 and 10. The displacement values shown are relative to the
-    values at the beginning of the earthquake cycle to facilitate
-    comparison between the analytical solution and the numerical
-    models. Both the analytical and numerical simulations require
-    spin-up to reach the steady-state solution, and the numerical
-    models also require spin-up to achieve steady plate motion, which
-    is superimposed on the analytical solution. Both the hexahedral
-    (Hex8) and tetrahedral (Tet4) discretizations resolve the
-    viscoelastic deformation and display excellent agreement with the
-    steady-state solution by the tenth earthquake cycle. The coarser
-    (20 km) resolutions are unable to match the details of the
-    displacement field very close to the fault, but all of the

-    from the fault.}
