Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ List of figures of a subset of figures

[yostane]

Hi,
Is there a way to insert a "listoffigures" that considers only a subset of the figures present in the document.
Thanks

When writing the caption if you put nothing for the text that will go in the list of figures, it will not appear

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{file.eps}
\caption[Figure]{This figure will appear in the list of figures}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics{file.eps}
\caption[]{This figure will NOT appear in the list of figures}
\end{figure}

Using the caption package one can limit the entries in the list of figures by using either \caption[]{...} (which will suppress this entry) or \captionsetup{list=on} resp. \captionsetup{list=off} (which is suitable for a range of figures).

Thanks for your quick answer :p.
Howerver I would like also to make another "listoffigures" for the other subset. Sorry I should have detailed my problem earlier .
Thanks.

There are two pre-defined subsets, "figure" and "table". If you need additional ones you can define them using \DeclareCaptionType which is offered by the caption package, too, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionType{otherfigure}[Other Figure][List of other figures]

\begin{document}

\listoffigures
\listofotherfigures

\begin{figure}
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}

\begin{otherfigure}
\caption{A figure, too}
\end{otherfigure}

\end{document}

Thank you a loooooooooooot

I have a related question. I have a number of figures in my dissertation. Out of those figures, there are some that I want to be included in *two* listof's: the standard "List of Figures" and a non-standard "List of Special Figures."

How can I do this?

I really appreciate any help.

Hi Dochar,

welcome to the board!

You could use \DeclareCaptionType of the caption package, producing it's own list, or \newfloat of the float package.

Thank you Stefan for your prompt reply.

If I use \DeclareCaptionType, how will I be able to associate two "types" to one single figure so that it appears in both listofs?

[dochar]

Okay, here's how I did this. I am going to share this hoping that it would help others.

In the preamble, I added the following:

Code: Select all

% Add a list of study systems
\usepackage{tocloft}
\newcommand{\tocloftclearpage}{\clearpage\phantomsection}
                    % tocloft won't print listofs on new pages otherwise
\newcommand{\liststudysystemname}{List of Diagrams of Study Systems}
\newlistof[chapter]{studysystem}{sts}{\liststudysystemname}
\newcommand{\studysystem}[1]{%
    \addcontentsline{sts}{figure}{\protect\numberline{\thefigure}#1}}
\newcommand{\studysystemcaption}[1]{Default caption} 

Then for each "special figure" that I had, I updated its figure environment similar to this one:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=0.75\textwidth]{Figs/SPAA_systemIEEE34bus}
    \renewcommand{\studysystemcaption}{Study system II: IEEE 34-bus test feeder with three augmented DER units.}
    \caption{\studysystemcaption}
    \studysystem{\studysystemcaption}
    \label{fig:SPAA_systemIEEE34bus}
\end{figure}
