Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ LoF and LoT on the same page

[rockefeller]

Hi, I don't have too many figures and tables in my report, but i need to include lists of them. Is it possible to get \listoftables and \listoffigures on the same page?

... or one/or both on the same page as \tableofcontents (which in my case uses one full page and then only one or two lines on the next page)

I see two possible approaches.

• The global approach. This would mean to redefine the \chapter command regarding the prevention of page break.

  Code: Select all

  \makeatletter
  \renewcommand{\chapter}{%
  %  \if@openright\cleardoublepage\else\clearpage\fi  % this the original from the »report« class
    \par%  % this is the patch
    \thispagestyle{plain}%
    \global\@topnum\z@
    \@afterindentfalse
    \secdef\@chapter\@schapter
  }
  \makeatother

  These lines go into the document preamble. Note that this affects all chapters in your document. Probably needs manual adjustment by adding vertical space between chapters.
• The local approach. Here we would turn off the effect of \cleardoublepage and \clearpage locally only for the concerned list.

  Code: Select all

  \listoffigures
  \begingroup
    \let\cleardoublepage\relax
    \let\clearpage\relax
    \listoftables
  \endgroup

  Some vertical space between the lists might be suggestive.

With both approaches side effects cannot be ruled out.

Cool, thanks. The local approach works great.
