Thankyou very much Paul
That command worked, but interestingly it doesn't work for standard
figure float where caption 'Figure 0.X:' by default is below the
image.
I've used from the manual:
\renewcommand{\fnum@figure}{ ~\thefigure}
for standard figure floats to achieve the same result as your suggestion:
addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{}}
What remains is the rather ugly numeration format:
For example : 0.3: My beautiful painting, 2012
Is there any way to remove '0.3:' to just '3. '
Best Regards
Shane
\usepackage{babel}
\addto\captionsenglish{\renewcommand{\figurename}{}}
\usepackage[rightcaption]{sidecap}
% provides commands to set caption
% beside tables/images
%I @renewommand below I deleted a word inputted before the ~ and left
spaces before the ~. (Shane)
\renewcommand{\fnum@figure}{ ~\thefigure}
\renewcommand{\thefigure}{\arabic{section}.\arabic{figure}}
\newcommand{\TabBesBeg}[1][1.0]{%
\let\MyTable\table
\let\MyEndtable\endtable
\renewenvironment{table}[1]{\begin{SCtable}[#1]##1}{\end{SCtable}}}
\newcommand{\TabBesEnd}{%
\let\table\MyTable
\let\endtable\MyEndtable}
\newcommand{\FigBesBeg}[1][1.0]{%
\let\MyFigure\figure
\let\MyEndfigure\endfigure
\renewenvironment{figure}[1]{\begin{SCfigure}[#1]##1}{\end{SCfigure}}}
\newcommand{\FigBesEnd}{%
\let\figure\MyFigure
\let\endfigure\MyEndfigure}
