Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Numbering in LoF

[mattwilliams]

Hi All,

I'm putting together my dissertation and using \listoffigures I've found some strange behaviour and I'm not 100% sure how to fix it. Basically, in the caption to each figure, and in the LoF itself, each figure is numbered with the period before the number, for instance,

Code: Select all

.1       Figure Name                   Page no.
.2       Figure Name                   Page no.

etc, etc.

How do I go about switching the period back to after the figure number?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

welcome to the board!

How do I go about switching the period back to after the figure number?

Tell us what you did, regarding the numbering, and we would tell you what's wrong and how you can correct it. Otherwise one just has to guess whatever you have done. Perhaps yo have redefined \thefigure.

It would be easy to help if you would post a minimal working example. I.e. hack down a copy of your document, reduced it step by step, until a small compilable document remains which you can post here. This may consist of your preamble (all unrelated packages removed) with your redefinitions, a sample figure (dummy content), and your LoF. If you would do that carefully, checking step by step, you might notice that you would have isolated the cause by yourself.

Seems like you are using a class that supports chapters but didn't introduce them with the \chapter command. For more specific help and in order to avoid guesses and random shots please meet Stefan's request for a minimal example.
