New caption heading

Post by ChemistKatie »

Hi,

I am very new to latex and have found this forum amazingly helpful but now I have reached a problem that I cannot find the answer to - it was going to happen sooner or later. :?

I am writing my Chemistry PhD thesis and require caption headings of "figure x.y", "Scheme x.y" and "Spectrum x.y". I can do the figures no problem (who can't!) and I am using the chemstyle package which allows me to have the "Scheme" caption heading, with numbering independant from the figures (i.e. I can have Figure 1.1 and Scheme 1.1). I am having problems finding a package with spectrum headings or writing a command which allows me to have spectrum caption headings.

Any help would be appreciated. :geek:

Opps I had obviously been searching the wrong thing. I have solved this problem with the trivfloat package.

Can alternatively be done with the \DeclareCaptionType command provided by the caption package.


Best regards and welcome to the board
