Thanks gmedina... It works well.

Solved this, I had two more questions (I hope not to be annoying):
1. How can I edit the apparence of floats (figures, table) to get something like the first image? I only want to customize, not create a new one.

2. If I want to create a cls file with this apparence, How can I put the preable in a modified version of report cls file?

Hi,

1- You can use some of the features provided by the float package to change the format of floats (please refer to the package documentation for further information). The following sample code can give you some ideas:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[svgnames]{xcolor}
\usepackage{float}

\makeatletter
\renewcommand\floatc@ruled[2]%
  {\setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{#2}%
   \ifdim\wd\@tempboxa>\hsize #2\par%
   \else\hbox to\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}\fi}
\renewcommand\fs@ruled{\def\@fs@cfont{\bfseries}\let\@fs@capt\floatc@ruled%
  \def\@fs@pre{\vspace*{-20pt}\hrulefill\lower.8ex
    \hbox{\colorbox{MidnightBlue}{%
      \textcolor{white}{\scriptsize GR\'AFICO\ \thefigure}}}%
    \hrulefill\vspace{10pt}}%
  \def\@fs@post{\vspace{3pt}\kern2pt\hrule\relax}%
  \def\@fs@mid{\addvspace{10pt}}
  \let\@fs@iftopcapt\iftrue}
\makeatother

\floatstyle{ruled}
\restylefloat{figure}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
	\centering
  \rule{4cm}{2cm}
	\caption{A test figure}
	\label{fig:test}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

The idea was to redefine the \fs@ruled command (as defined in float.sty) to include the centered box with the colored box containing "GRÁFICO <number>", and erasing the midlle rule. The above code also redefines the \floatc@ruled that formats the caption for the new ruled floats.

2- I do not completely understand your question. Do you want to know how to create a class file?

[cbustaam]

That works great. I only had should to define a diferent \vspace* value because the float overrides the text before it.

2- I do not completely understand your question. Do you want to know how to create a class file?

Yes, I want to create a class file with the options that I defined at the preamble of this tex file.

One more question: I don't decide yet if the document are going to be in one or two columns, but to use this float, I need one column. I can define in the modified environment a chage before on columns before and after float?

Hi,

In order to make the figure span both columns, you can use the figure* environment instead of the un-starred figure environment.

The clsguide document contains useful information for writting classes.

[cbustaam]

Thanks a lot for your help... After I do a good preamble, I'm going to check out the clsguide to make it a document class.

I have one more question: If I want to set as default the following table style, how can I do it? I put this line

Code: Select all

\restylefloat{table}

To get an environment similar to figure, but in the title appears "GRAFICO". So, I need to appears "GRAFICO" for figure envirnment, and "CUADRO" for the table one. Also, I need to set up the colored rows and table headers.

Hi,

the following code contains the new redefinitions for tables and a sample table like the one you need:

Code: Select all

\renewcommand\fs@ruled{\def\@fs@cfont{\bfseries}\let\@fs@capt\floatc@ruled%
  \def\@fs@pre{\vspace*{0pt}\hrulefill\lower.8ex
    \hbox{\colorbox{MidnightBlue}{%
      \textcolor{white}{\scriptsize GR\'AFICO\ \thefigure}}}%
    \hrulefill\vspace{10pt}}%
  \def\@fs@post{\vspace{3pt}\kern2pt\hrule\relax}%
  \def\@fs@mid{\addvspace{10pt}}
  \let\@fs@iftopcapt\iftrue}

\renewcommand\floatc@plain[2]%
  {\setbox\@tempboxa\hbox{#2}%

Hi gmedina
Again, thanks for your reply. I have a problem when I try to compile the code with 12pt or 11pt font size. I got something like

What can I do?

[gmedina]

Increase the columns' width.

[cbustaam]

Doh, Obvious... silly question.
Thanks for your help.
