Suppress the word "Figure" in figures.

Post by jaybz »

How can I suppress both the word "Figure" and the the figure number when including a graphic in a figure? I know this isn't a minimal example but I don't know how to substitute for the picture. The line above the picture looks like this:
1: My caption here.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{article} 
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage{graphicx,float}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}[H]
\renewcommand{\figurename}{}
\caption{My caption here.}
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=1.00]{/home/me/pictures/test1.eps}
\label{}
\end{figure}
\end{document}

Hi,

you can load the caption package and use \caption*:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{caption}
...
\caption*{My caption here.}
You made a good minimal example. For dummy figures, you can give the demo option to the graphicx package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
