Hi,

I personally don't know how to achieve your caption format, but I can 
point you in the right direction. What you want to achieve can be 
controlled at the latex level. There will be some latex code that you 
can put in your document's preamble to achieve it.


One option that I can think of, off the top of my head, is the caption 
latex package. You might want to search for its documentation and read 
it. I don't know for sure if this package can do what you want, but it 
is likely. In any case, now that we have established that it is a latex 
question, it can be asked on dedicated latex channels. There are latex 
experts roaming this list as well, but you would increase the likelihood 
of an answer by asking on comp.lang.tex, etc.


Cheers,
Julien

Re: Custom Class Figure Problem

[Julien Rioux]

Actually I think putting in your document preamble (From the menu 
Document  Settings) this line:


\usepackage[labelsep=period]{caption}

is quick and sufficient.

Re: Custom Class Figure Problem

[Danny Parker]

That did get the figure number and caption in the same line (much thanks)
but it did not single space the caption.  Do you know of a quick way of
fixing that?  I tried just using the paragraph settings but it seems the
class has redefined /singlespace so when I try to make the pdf I get an
error.  Thanks to the help of another user I think I can edit the class to
rename the command freeing up /singlespacing.  The one thing I'm unsure of
when doing that is do I only have to reconfigure LyX or do I need to do
something with MiKTeX also?

Again thanks for the help.  It's very much appreciated.

If you modify the class file you don't need to reconfigure anything I'd 
think. If you made a renamed copy of the class file under a different 
name, and change or rename your LyX layout file accordingly, then I'd 
think you would need to reconfigure LyX.

That gave me the same error that singlespacing is already defined.  I'll go

Custom Class Figure Problem

[Danny Parker]

I'm having a problem getting properly formatted figures in my output.  At
first I was using LyX float and insert graphic command which I mistakenly
though would format figures according to the class of my thesis.  However it
caused the caption of the output to be something like

figure
Figure #
Double spaced caption

Where the guideline is

Figure
Figure #. Caption single spaced

Upon some digging I found that the class defined a new command \Figure which
reads in *.eps files only.  So I tried inserting ERT to call that class but
when I try to create a pdf I get an error that says LaTeX Error: Unknown
graphics extension: .eps.  After doing some searching I think this is
because it is not properly calling the graphics format converters.  This is
where I'm beyond my understanding to fix.

What I want to do is either get the ERT to work properly or to change LyX's
settings to produce the proper formatting.  Any help anyone can give would
be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

If you use your msuthesis.cls file directly with latex and use the 
\Figure command, you will see that the problem you mention is still there:

figure
Figure #
Centered caption

So actually your class file does not conform to the guidelines you 
mention. No fault of LyX. So either seek an updated version of 
msuthesis.cls, if there is one, or search/ask the latex gurus how to 
achieve the desired caption format.
