Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ 2 types of Figure (rename Figure)

[Sille]

Hi,

I am writing my thesis in chemistry in Latex and I am wondering if I can make to types of Figures, where one is called Figure and the other should be called Scheme.
So that Figure is for normal figures whereas Scheme is for my reaction schemes.

I hope that someone can help me

There are several packages out there which offer commands to define own floating environments, for example the caption package (\DeclareCaptionType), the floatrow package (\DeclareNewFloatType), the float package (\newfloat), and so on.

Just pick one (maybe you are using one of those packages already!?) and take a peek at the package documentation.

Thanks for the quick response - I found out by using the \declarecaptiontype command
