Page Layout ⇒ Number Width Adjustment in LoF

[ChrisDanger]

Hi all,

I'm having trouble with not being able to adjust the left-hand margin in the list of figures. Here's a working example of why I want to do this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{thesis}

\begin{document}

  \listoffigures

  \addtocounter{chapter}{10}
  \addtocounter{figure}{39}

  \begin{figure}
    \centering
    \rule{5cm}{3cm}
    \caption{Help! I need more space}
  \end{figure}

\end{document}

Clearly I need to make the chapter/section number margin wider. As far as I can see the tocloft package specifies adjustments for all the margins except this one. I've done all the searching I can handle and found no help. A solution would be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,
Chris

Actually Section 2.3 of the tocloft manual has all the information you need.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{tocloft}

\setlength{\cftfignumwidth}{3em}
\setlength{\cfttabnumwidth}{3em}

\begin{document}
  \listoffigures

  \addtocounter{chapter}{10}
  \addtocounter{figure}{39}

  \begin{figure}[!ht]
    \centering
    \rule{5cm}{3cm}
    \caption{Help! I need more space}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

Thanks Thorsten. To the rescue again. Not sure how I missed that.
