Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ LoF numbers starting with "Figure x"

[anapaolabraga]

Hi, I need the numbers of figures, tables etc on my List of Figures, List of Tables etc to look like this:

List of Figures
Figure 1 - Caption of fig 1 .... x
Figure 2 - Caption of fig 2 .... y
Figure 3 - Caption of fig 3 .... z

====

List of Tables
Table 1 - Caption of tab 1 .... a
Table 2 - Caption of tab 2 .... b


How do I insert "Figure" and "Table" before the numbers?

I always wonder what else the reader would expect than figures in the LoF and tables in the LoT that makes this prefix necessary. However, I See three possible solutions depending on the used document class.

1. The tocloft package (for use with the standard classes).

   Code: Select all

   \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
   \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
   \usepackage{tocloft}
   
   \addtolength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}
   \renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{\figurename\ }
   \addtolength{\cfttabnumwidth}{3em}
   \renewcommand{\cfttabpresnum}{\tablename\ }
   
   \begin{document}
     \listoffigures
     \listoftables
   	
     \chapter{Foo}
       \begin{figure}[!ht]
         \centering
         \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
         \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
       \end{figure}
   
       \begin{table}[!ht]
         \centering
         \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
         \caption{Dummy table}\label{tab:dummy}
       \end{table}
   \end{document}

2. The classes of KOMA Script have a built-in feature.

   Code: Select all

   \documentclass[%
     listof=entryprefix,
     captions=tableabove
   ]{scrreprt}
   \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
   
   \begin{document}
     \listoffigures
     \listoftables
   	
     \chapter{Foo}
       \begin{figure}[!ht]
         \centering
         \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
         \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
       \end{figure}
   
       \begin{table}[!ht]
         \centering
         \caption{Dummy table}\label{tab:dummy}
         \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
       \end{table}
   \end{document}

3. The memoir class has built-in features very similar to those of the tocloft package.

   Code: Select all

   \documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{memoir}
   \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
   \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
   
   \addtolength{\cftfigurenumwidth}{3em}
   \renewcommand{\cftfigurepresnum}{\figurename\ }
   \addtolength{\cfttablenumwidth}{3em}
   \renewcommand{\cfttablepresnum}{\tablename\ }
   
   \begin{document}
     \listoffigures
     \listoftables
   	
     \chapter{Foo}
       \begin{figure}[!ht]
         \centering
         \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
         \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy}
       \end{figure}
   
       \begin{table}[!ht]
         \centering
         \rule{6.4cm}{3.6cm}
         \caption{Dummy table}\label{tab:dummy}
       \end{table}
   \end{document}
