Text Formatting ⇒ Spacing between LoF Entries

[gilmour]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy way to change the spacing between all of the captions in LoF. I'm formatting my dissertation and every caption must be single spaced and there should be a double space between every caption. My captions are very long and LaTeX is currently forcing each page in the LoF to have a different spacing between figure captions. Is there any way to force it to always double space?

Thanks!

Take a look at tocloft package. That will help you set the formatting options.

I just tried including the package and my document won't compile due to a conflict with a subfigure package. Everything breaks when I remove the subfigure package. I'm trying to do it by redefining the LOF command within the class file. Below is what I have so far. The \protect\noaddvspace command should suppress any attempt to sanely space the captions, but it doesn't. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

\renewcommand*{\listoffigures}{%
  \newpage
  \def\@tocpage{\roman{page}}
  \addtocontents{toc}{\protect\contentsline{chapter}{LIST OF FIGURES}{\@tocpage}}
  \begin{center}
    LIST OF FIGURES \\[48pt]
  \end{center}
  \singlespacing
  \ifx \@finalstyle \undefined \relax \else \setlength{\parskip}{12pt plus0pt minus0pt} \fi
  \let\tmpnumberline \numberline
  \renewcommand{\numberline}[2]{\tmpnumberline{Figure ##1}{##2}}
  \newcommand*{\noaddvspace}{\renewcommand*{\addvspace}[1]{}}
  \addtocontents{lof}{\protect\noaddvspace}
  \@starttoc{lof}
  \ifx \@finalstyle \undefined \relax \else \setlength{\parskip}{0pt} \fi
  \let \numberline \tmpnumberline
  \newpage

\usepackage[subfigure]{tocloft}

This should be mentioned in the documentation of tocloft.
Please note, that the subfigure-package is obsolete.

Thanks, I gave it a go but it overwrites all the modifications shown above. Is there a way to hack it without the tocloft package?
