Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ spacing in list of figures

[shaikster]

Hello all,

I have attached an image for a better understanding of my problem. In the attached image you can see that the description for figure 2.6 and 3.5 extends to a 2nd line. I would like to have a single space in such situations while keeping double spacing if the description does not extend into the second line.

I hope my explanation was clear enough. I would appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Sameer

Could you perhaps use the option for a short caption?

Code: Select all

\caption[short caption for lof]{long caption for figure}

Edit: I'm sorry, I see this didn't exactly answer your question. I'll let it stand anyway.

That is one possibility. But its very tedious to go back and do that as there are more than 50 figures in my document.

Hi,

since, apparently, you are changing the standard interline space, we will need to see some
relevant parts of your actual code, in order to provide effective help. Please post a minimal
compilable example showing all the aspects relevant to your problem (documentclass used,
any changes made to the interline space, etc.)

I am not very sure of what part of the file might help you to debug this problem. Therefore, I have attached the class file and the style file that I am using to complile my document. Thanks for your help.

Hi,

the .cls file that you attached uses really obsolete packages (fancyheadings, doublespace, for example);
furthermore, the style file (thesis.sty) has some coding mistakes that originate errors during compilation;
one example of those mistakes can be found in lines 175ff:

Code: Select all

\def\loadAbstract#1{
    \chapter*{\normalfont #1}
    \begin{center}
    \singlespace
      %{\uppercase{\@author}}: {\@title}. (Under the direction of \uppercase{
      %})
      \normalfont{\normalsize{}}: }})  
    \end{center}     
    \par
    \parindent=5mm
    }

Under these conditions I cannot help you. My advise would be to contact the creators of the class and of
the style file.

Ok..I appreacite your help.
