Thank you, this is what I was looking for! I put something like this in
the preamble:
\renewcommand{\@makecaption}[2]{
\vspace{10pt}
{\begin{center}#1\end{center}}
}
This, together with the package "endfloat" almost does what I need: I get
a list of figures at the end of the document, containing the figure
captions, and then one figure per page with only a "Figure n" centered
below each one. Commenting out the \usepackage{endfloat} and the above
statements gives my a nice document with figures and captions in all the
right places.
Unfortunately, the references to the figures are now undefined, since the
corresponding labels are in the captions and do not get placed anywhere.
My solution is to comment out the above statements, view the document once
from Lyx, and then put them back in again. Latex retains the figure
numbers associated with the label keys from the previous run (I only refer
to figures by their number, not the page they are on) and all works fine
for the remaining lyx session.
Is there a way of doing this the Right Way? I guess it would be kind of
difficult to peel off all but the reference key from argument #2 to
"\@makecaption", and place a label with this key in the caption? Maybe
there is a far easier solution I don't see (an existing package that does
all this nicely, or the like)?
Thank you all for your valuable help!
Jan
