Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Displaying figure source under caption

[squidgy_wiji]

Hey i've tried searching on google and this forum and i havent been able to find the answer to this question.

When I insert a figure I want to name the source of the figure under the figure caption. Is there anyway to do this instead of just naming the source in the caption. Prefferably in a different font to the font in the caption.

I would appreciate any help

Thanks

Hi,

for the source, you can use the \caption* command provided by the caption package (make sure that you are using a recent version of the package). Take a look at the following example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \rule{4cm}{3cm}% to simulate an actual figure
  \caption{a test figure}
  \label{tab:test}
  \captionsetup{font={footnotesize,bf,it}}
  \caption*{the source of the figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Thank you very much for that. I've been looking everywhere to figure this one out.

Cheers

Code: Select all

...
\newenvironment{figuree}[1]{
  \begin{figure}
    \includegraphics{#1}
    \def\catext{#1}
    \def\latext{fig:#1}
    \caption{\catext}
    \label{\latext}
  }{
  \end{figure}
...
\begin{document}
...
\begin{figuree}{<picture_source>}\end{figuree}
...
\end{document}

Hi,

Code: Select all

...
\newenvironment{figuree}[1]{
  \begin{figure}
    \includegraphics{#1}
    \def\catext{#1}
    \def\latext{fig:#1}
    \caption{\catext}
    \label{\latext}
  }{
  \end{figure}
...
\begin{document}
...
\begin{figuree}{<picture_source>}\end{figuree}
...
\end{document}

Your code has an obvious typo: there's a missing closing brace right after \end{figure}. Besides, the code does not solve the original problem at all.
