Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Figures with not Figer name and it's own couner

[vmk]

In the article some images must have under them:

Figure N. This beautiful image

and other must have:

Scheme N. The nice scheme

with it's own counter.

I do not know how to do this.
I work in LYX and do the article in 2 columns, so I use caption package and do caption as \captionof{figure}{General synthetic route} as Tex code
But I do not know what to do with Scheme and it's own counter.
Can somebody help?
Thanks.

If you're using the caption package already I'd load the newfloat package in addition and define a {scheme} environment which behaves the same as the {figure} environment:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{newfloat}

\DeclareFloatingEnvironment[
  fileext   = los, % file extension for the list of schemes
  listname  = {List of schemes}, % heading for the list
  name      = Scheme, % name in captions
  placement = htp % default floating paramaters
]{scheme}

This also defines \listofschemes and enables the usage of \captionof{scheme}{…}.

With the above definition in the preamble you can use

Code: Select all

\begin{scheme}
  Here goes the actual scheme…
  \caption{Caption of the scheme.}
\end{scheme}
