\listoffigures, add the word Figure

Post by ppeetteerr »

I would like \listoffigures to give me the following format. (Edit: Removed "not")

Figure 1: Caption
Figure 2: Caption
.
.
.
Figure N: Caption

I've tried searching for the \listoffigures command to use \renewcommand but can't find it. Any suggestions.

Not this format? What exactly is needed?

The tocloft package provides many features to customize the list of figures.

So the output is

List of Figures

1 Caption ....... Page numbers

I would like to strip the page numbers and the .... and put Figure in front of 1.
so
List of Figures

Figure 1: Caption


I'll look into tocloft.

Hi,

have a look at this recent topic too, that topic is similar and the answer there may show you how to start with tocloft.

Yep that pretty much describes it. I searched the forums but that post was posted 3 min before mine. What a coincidence.
