To whomever this may concern,
I have recently started using LyX to write scientific papers for my
undergraduate degree. In writing one of my reports, I found myself
wanting to change the way the figures are labelled. I have managed to
change the figure labelling from “Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3…” to
labelling per section “Figure 1.1, Figure 1.2, Figure 2.1…” However, I
was wondering if there was a way to change it to say “Fig. 1.1”,
instead of “Figure 1.1”
I’ve also changed the size of the font inside the caption to be
smallest. This works great, no issues. However, the figure label
itself does not change in size. It simply shows “Figure 1.1: Blah Blah
Blah, this is only an example…”. Is there a way to make the size of
the label match that of the caption.
Thank in advance to anyone who can help me.
Cheers,
Philippe Burden
As someone with old eyes, I feel that I should discourage you from using
"smallest" as the size for captions. That said, if you have the LaTeX
'caption' package installed, you can put the following in your preamble:
\usepackage{caption}
\captionsetup[figure]{labelfont={scriptsize}, name={Fig.},labelsep=colon}
I think that will do what you want.
