Hi there, I am writing a report about a project I was running (in my signature for those
curious :) and I would like to have captions for my images. By using directly inserted
graphics there seems to be no way to do this. I tried using floated graphics but here the
problem is that each caption gets the text "Figure 1:" to it. This is something
I don't want as the images are there just to liven up the story, and I do not refer to
them.
I found a hack to remove the figure number, but the "Figure :" text still
remains. Am I missing some really obvious option?
In LyX, just delete the caption inset: the thing that says "Figure 1".
I think you are missing the point: then I don't have any caption at all. I
guess I could always just insert some standard text and fiddle around with the
options and font options it until it looks like a caption, but that to me seems
like a very un-LyX-like way to do it?
Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you want the caption but not the label.
If that's what you want, then you will have to do something like
redefine the \@makecaption macro that is used to set the caption. I
tried redefining \fnum@figure to do nothing, but that leaves the ":" in
front of the caption. Here's the definition from article.cls:
\long\def\@makecaption#1#2{%
\vskip\abovecaptionskip
\sbox\@tempboxa{#1: #2}%
\ifdim \wd\@tempboxa >\hsize
#1: #2\par
\else
\global \@minipagefalse
\hb@xt@\hsize{\hfil\box\@tempboxa\hfil}%
\fi
\vskip\belowcaptionskip}
#1 is what you don't want. If you never want it, then you can just
replace "#1: #2" with "#2" and be done with it. If you want it in some
cases but not others, that is more complicated.
