Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figures Intentionally Not in List of Figures?

[surrix]

Hey all,

Is it possible to create figures intentionally not in the List of Figures, such as the * environments for sections, subsections, etc? How does one go about doing this? Same question for tables. I still want to have captions.

Thanks

Hi,

you can use an empty optional argument for the \caption command:

Code: Select all

\caption[]{the text of the caption.}

Hi,

Unfortunately, doing that simply results in entries with empty captions in the List of Figures, but they're still there. :\

Thanks

There are two possible solutions by using the caption package.

• Use the \caption* command. This will result in a caption without a label thus without number.
• Switch off the entry for a certain figure or table.

  Code: Select all

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \captionsetup{list=no}
    \centering
    \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
    \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
  \end{figure}

  This doesn't generate an entry in the LoF thus the numbering there will be interrupted.

This sounds like what I need. Thanks!
