General ⇒ list of figure captions

[spiegboy]

I use \listoffigures, but i just want the captions not the page numbering.
how can i get that?

thank you very much

Hi,

\listoffigures (and l@figure) is defined by the document class. Which class do you use?

i dont have to use listoffigures, if there is another way to list all figure captions.

thanks

Hi,

try this:

Code: Select all

{\renewcommand*\numberline[1]{}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure[2]{#1\newline}
\makeatother
\listoffigures}

Hi,

try this modification:

Code: Select all

{\renewcommand*\numberline[1]{Fig.\,#1:\space}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure[2]{\noindent#1\par}
\makeatother
\listoffigures}

Of course you may replace the colon : by a dot, but I thought the colon would be more common.

it works fine, but except the caption of this figure, it doesnt break the line automatically. however when i use the \listoffigures, it works fine to this figure, maybe there is a way to solve this problem.


thanks a lot.

Code: Select all

\begin{figure}[!hb]
    \centering
    \includegraphics[width=4.042in]{heatxrd.eps}
    \caption{X-ray diffraction patterns of the as-prepared % 
    and at 600\celsius\xspace heat-treated %
    Co\textsubscript{58.34}Fe\textsubscript{3.84}B\textsubscript{13.06}Si\textsubscript{13.06}Cr\textsubscript{11.7}.}
    \label{fig:heatxrd}
  \end{figure}

btw, i dont want to use the short caption, i have to put the original caption on the paper. thanks

[Stefan Kottwitz]

This could help:

Code: Select all

\newlength{\fig}
\settowidth{\fig}{Fig.\,99:~}
{\renewcommand*\numberline[1]{\llap{\makebox[\fig][l]{Fig.\,#1:~}}}
\makeatletter
\renewcommand*\l@figure[2]{\leftskip\fig\noindent#1\par}
\makeatother
\listoffigures}

thanks
but still it doesnt work, i think maybe it's because of my use of \textsubscript make the composition: Co\textsubscript{58.34}Fe\textsubscript{3.84}B\textsubscript{13.06}Si\textsubscript{13.06}Cr\textsubscript{11.7} cannot be broken apart.

i restructured the caption and make sure the special composition could be normally shown in
the sentence. but i just feel not good. i think there must be some better ways to do it.

another thing is the captions are not be alligned evenly at the right side. when i change the font from mathptmx to palatino, it works fine. here are my premable

Code: Select all

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,english,titlepage]{article}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
%\usepackage[english]{babel}% clash with \renewcommand{\figurename}{Fig.}
\usepackage[top=2.54cm,left=3cm,right=3cm,bottom=2.54cm]{geometry}% page layout
\usepackage{mathptmx,courier,pifont}
\usepackage[scaled=.92]{helvet}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{setspace,xspace,hanging}
\usepackage{fixltx2e} %use \textsubscript




\usepackage{enumerate}
\usepackage{blindtext,textcase,textcomp,gensymb}
\usepackage{url,cite}

\usepackage[normalem]{ulem}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{subfigure}%it's for subfigures
\usepackage{ccaption}
\captionnamefont{\bfseries}
\captiontitlefont{\small}
\renewcommand{\figurename}{Fig.}
\usepackage{amssymb,amsmath}

another question is when i use document class 'scrartcl' with the option, titlepage and abstracton, the titlepage does not show the right position of authors, they are way too at the right side, could you help me fix this problem, thank you very much.
