Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Adding Source Citation to Figure

[h0ps]

Hi guys

I have tried google this problem but I haven't been able to found a satisfactory solution yet. My problem is that in addition to the figure number I would also like to add the source. Any suggestions?

I have no idea what you mean by that. Please try to elaborate and possibly add a minimal working example to illustrate what you want and what you have.

Right now I have the following code

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!t]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=10cm]{DKinflation.pdf}
\caption{Different measures of inflation in Denmark, 2000-2011}
\label{figure:DKinflation}
\end{figure}

Above the figure number caption I would like to have a line with the source of the graph. So it is like

"Source: http://www.latex-community.org"
"Figure 1: Blahblahblah"

Here is an idea using the caption package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\usepackage{caption}
\DeclareCaptionFormat{citation}{%
  \ifx\captioncitation\relax\relax\else
    \captioncitation\par
  \fi
  #1#2#3\par}
\newcommand*\setcaptioncitation[1]{\def\captioncitation{\textit{Source:}~#1}}
\let\captioncitation\relax
\captionsetup{format=citation,justification=centering}

\usepackage{mwe}% for example pictures
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[ht]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[scale=.5]{example-image-a}
 \caption{Example caption}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[ht]
 \centering
 \includegraphics[scale=.5]{example-image-b}
 \setcaptioncitation{somewhere on the world wide web.}
 \caption{Example caption with citation}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

I think a simple \caption* command that is provided by caption would do also.

I think a simple \caption* command ...

Huh, somehow I missed that one...

That happens quite often to this command.

It was exactly what I needed. Thx!
