Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ How to put the caption for graphics?

[paulosousa]

Hello all
Need help!
I have no problem with caption (on top) of tables (have 'Tabela 1', ...) and with caption for the figures (have 'Figura 1', ...), but I need to insert some graphics in the document and I must put a caption on top of it with only 'Gráfico 1', 'Gráfico 2'...

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt, twoside, a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[portuguese]{babel}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[left=2.0cm,top=1.5cm,right=2.0cm,bottom=1.75cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{amsmath,amssymb,amsfonts,textcomp,setspace,graphicx,color,environ,tabularx,enumitem}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{table}[h]
\caption{} \label{table:t2}
\centering 
\small
\vspace{-0.20cm}
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|}
\toprule
\textbf{Partido} & \hspace{0.35cm} A \hspace{0.35cm} & \hspace{0.25cm} B \hspace{0.25cm} & \hspace{0.25cm} C \hspace{0.25cm}  & \hspace{0.25cm} D \hspace{0.25cm} & \hspace{0.25cm} E \hspace{0.25cm}  \\ 
\midrule
\textbf{Número de votos} & 594  & 418  & 89  &  563 &  71  \\ 
\bottomrule
\end{tabular} 
\end{table}

\begin{figure}[h]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[scale=0.450]{figures/3/img1.png}
\captionof{figure}{}
\label{figure:usf}
\end{center}
\end{figure} 

\end{document}

Should I use something like this?

Code: Select all

\addto\captionsportuguese{
%\renewcommand{\graphicname}{Gráfico}
}

I appreciate any help! Thanks a lot.

Hi,

use:

\addto\captionsportuguese{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Gráfico}}

And within a figure or table environment use \centering instead of \begin{center} ... \end{center}, such as

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htbp!]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.450]{figures/3/img1.png}
\caption{Test}
\label{figure:usf}
\end{figure}

If the caption should go to the top of the graphics, move \caption before \includegraphics. By the way, the more placement options for figures, the easier and the closer the placement, that's why I often use htbp!.

Stefan,

thanks a lot for the suggestion concerning the use of \centering and tomove \caption before \includegraphics
Concerning the suggestion to use \addto\captionsportuguese{\renewcommand{\figurename}{Gráfico}}...
this way I will rename all caption to 'Gráfico n' but in whole doc I need 'Figura 1', 'Figura 2' and 'Gráfico 1'...
How should I do?

[Stefan Kottwitz]

Ah, I understand. Like this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{newfloat}
\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[fileext=grf,placement={!htbp},
  name=Gráfico,listname={List of Gráficos},]{grafico}
...
\listofgraficos
...
\begin{grafico}[htbp!]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.450]{figures/3/img1.png}
\caption{Test}
\label{grafico:usf}
\end{grafico}

This is an example for a diagram, you just need to replace the name with what you want.

Now it's perfect, thanks a lot Stefan.

Ah, I understand. Like this:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{newfloat}
\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[fileext=grf,placement={!htbp},

\listofgraficos
...
\begin{grafico}[htbp!]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.450]{figures/3/img1.png}
\caption{Test}
\label{grafico:usf}
\end{grafico}
