Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Make figure appear as table in list of tables

[LaurensM]

Hello,

I have embarked on the quest to write my PhD thesis in LaTeX as I didn't want to face the same frustrations as my predecessors during the final stages of their manuscript. Still not sure if the steep learning curve outclasses the "word-frustration" .

Anyhow, I am converting my published articles into tex documents. And I have some huge tables that have been imported as figures in the original article. However, they are still tables. Is there a way for figures (that look like tables) to include them as tables, and therefore appear in list of tables?

I have already discovered that with the use of empty caption square brackets I can import figures without them having appear in the list of figures. But how do I link them to the list of tables?

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}
  \centering
  \medskip
  \includegraphics{figure1}
  \caption[]{Caption of figure that does not appear in list of figures}
  \label{fig:figure1}
\end{figure}

Hi,

welcome to the board!

You could simply use a table environment instead of a figure environment. \includegraphics can be used within a table environment as well.

Thanks, that worked just fine. I was overthinking the whole problem
