General ⇒ Remove Entries From lot and lof

[drswsh]

I have figures in my Appendix which include captions and thus are automatically collected and entered into the list of figures. I do not want the figures in the appendix to be listed (everywhere else is fine) and I can't seem to find a way to suppress content/figures from appearing in the list of figures. Is there anyone who knows how to do this?

Thanks,

-Ryan

Hi drswsh,

Load the caption package and use the optional argument of the \caption command:

Code: Select all

\caption[Entry in corresponding list]{Actual caption}

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}
\listoffigures

\begin{figure}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption{test figure 1.}
  \label{fig:test1} 
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}
  \rule{5cm}{2cm}
  \caption[]{test figure 2.}
  \label{fig:test2} 
\end{figure}

\end{document}

You could use the starred version of the \caption command (\caption*) if you also don't want the mentioned figures to be numbered. But the caption package offers another way to stop list entries globally.

Code: Select all

\captionsetup{list=no}

Add this line at the point from where you don't want any entries in the LoF or LoT. In your case this should be right before (or after) the \appendix command.

Wow, quick response. Thanks. I ended up using the \captionsetup{list=no} command before the \appendix---that's exactly what I need. It allows me to keep referencing/referring to those figures in the appendix but not have them listed in the lof. Again thanks to both of you.
