Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ list of figures

[jannetta]

Hi Folks

I've tried to Google this but didn't quite find a relevant answer.

Is it possible to create a list of figures using only the title of the figure rather than the whole caption. I might not be marking my figures up correctly for this to be done so I would appreciate some advice on that too. This is how I have been doing it:

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[H]
	\begin{center}
		\includegraphics[width=5cm]{graphics/cpg_in_walking0.png}
		\caption{\textbf{Spinal Central Pattern Generators}. \acp{CPG} in the spine that generate rhythmic activity for locomotion without sensory or descending inputs \cite{Lacquaniti1999}}
		\label{fig:cpg_in_walking}
	\end{center}
\end{figure}

Many thanks
Jannetta

Please do not use the center environment inside the figure environment, it adds extra vertical space. You can use \centering instead.

The caption knows an optional argument which is used as an alternative title for the list. That should be explained in every introduction.

Code: Select all

\caption[i'll  be seen in the list]{i am with the actual figure}
