Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figure not inserted in LoF

[laailalalaa]

Hello,

I inserted a picture (cut in 2) spanning two pages with the following code:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[totalheight=1\textheight,
width=1\textwidth,viewport=0 0 475 603]{PicturePage1}
\caption[]{Picture caption}
\label{fig:mypicture}
\end{center}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[htb]
\ContinuedFloat
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[totalheight=.9\textheight,
width=.9\textwidth,viewport=0 0 475 603,bb = 10 20 100 200]{PicturePage2}
\end{center}
\caption[]{Picture caption}
\label{fig:mypicture}
\end{figure}
\clearpage

Up until a certain point in time the \listoffigures command properly inserted this picture into the list of figures. Now it omits it.

Any ideas why?
Thanks

Hi,

change

Code: Select all

\caption[]{Picture caption}

into

Code: Select all

\caption{Picture caption}

i.e. remove the empty optional argument to \caption, which is for the LoF entry. Then the mandatory argument in braces will be put into the LoF. Or write the entry for the LoF into the square brackets, especially if it should be shorter than the caption within the document.
