It seems like every desire anyone has in LaTeX, somebody pops up with a package to do it. But how does one discover that package? Is there an algorithm to go from a need to solution by package discovery? Given LaTeX code, I can hammer away at it, do research, and eventually modify it to do what I need. I can describe the process pretty much in English. But I don't begin to understand how people can hear a need and instantly know "you need the XYZ package."

There is also an unofficial module listed here, to the same effect:

The attached module adds support for captions outside floats (via

Yes, but you need to use the sidecap package. To integrate it on LyX you
can use a "Local format" (Document → Settings → Local format), something
like this (I'm using 2.3 here, for 2.2 use "Format 60" instead)
Format 66
AddToPreamble
\usepackage{sidecap} % added by sidecap.module
\let\SCfigurename\figurename
EndPreamble
Float
Type SCfigure
GuiName "Figure (side caption)"
Placement tbp
Extension loscf
NumberWithin none
Style plain
ListCommand empty
ListName "List of Figures (side caption): does nothing, use List of Figures
instead"
RefPrefix fig
IsPredefined 1
UsesFloatPkg 0
End
Float
Type SCtable
GuiName "Table (side caption)"
Placement tbp
Extension losct
NumberWithin none
Style plain
ListCommand empty
ListName "List of Tables (side caption): does nothing, use List of Tables
instead"
RefPrefix tab
IsPredefined 1
UsesFloatPkg 0
End
Now, under Insert → Float you'll have "Figure (side caption)" and "Table
(side caption)". The side-captioned figures will integrate with the normal
ones, so just use the normal index of figures to list them (and all the
others).
> It is possible to place graphics, without captions, side

You can delete the caption box inside the float without problems, resulting
on a floating figure without caption. To insert several figures inside a
float you can just do that, or even insert another float inside the float
to get several "sub-figures", LyX will recognize the situation
automatically.

Figure captions
Hi Is it possible to place captioned figures side by side rather than vertically? It is possible to place graphics, without captions, side by side. Figure captions seem only to be used in floats. Attempts to copy to a box produces senseless! Regards Frank Salter

Re: Figure numbers and the figure captions overlap in list of figures
Hi,
I found the solution...
tocloft doesn't work properly with some of the classes...
I used titletoc instead.. .
\usepackage{titletoc}
\dottedcontents{figure}[4.5em]{}{3em}{0.75em}
\dottedcontents{table}[4.5em]{}{3em}{0.75em}
it worked fine..

Figure numbers and the figure captions overlap in list of figures
Dear all, In my report, figures and tables are numbered in chapter.x format and I have a problem with list of figures and list of tables that I include using Insert-List/TOC-. The problem is that for all the figures/tables that have more than one digit after the decimal place (means from 10th figure or table), the captions and the figure numbers overlap in list of figures and list of tables. The figures and tables that have single digit after the decimal place, are perfectly fine. Also within the chapters at the place where figures/tables appear, there is no problem. Can anyone help to solve this please? Nagaraj

I would very much like the figure captions to be left and right justified (while the figure stays centered - this can be controlled from the layout paragraph tab). I don't know enough TeX to mess around with it. Can anyone help? Thanks
Changing appearance of figure captions
Hi! Is there a way to (transparently and/or globally) change the appearance of captions of figures and tables? LyX only offers to change their position, and I haven't been able to locate a proper command sequence in the few manuals of TeX and LaTeX I have at my disposal. Any input is greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Maarten

Figure Captions and Figure Centering
I'm now using lyx-1.2.0 on a Redhat Linux 7.1 machine.

(1) Caption Question
-
In older versions, insertion of a figure float automatically
included a caption. Not so in the new version. To put in
a caption, I now include in the figure float environment
a LATEX-mode box like
\caption{caption text}
My question: how do I insert math formulas within the caption without
having to bang out all the raw latex? That is, I want the WYSIWYG
feature within the caption, but the LATEX enviornment
doesn't seem to allow it.
Basically, I'd like to be able to put math formulas, equation cross
references,
etc., within the caption without having to type the raw latex.
Probably there's a better way for me to insert the caption, but I don't
know it.
---
(2) Figure Centering
---
In older lyx versions, figures were automatically centered. Now it
seems
that I have to do this manually with LATEX boxes for \begin{center}
and \end{center}.
How do I make figures centered by default?

It is possible to combine raw latex and lyx. I simply split the latex
code into two environments between which I use regular code (see
attached file). I find this usefull in other instances as well.
I hope this helps,

Hello all,
I have a (weird) question concerning figure captions. I am preparing a
manuscript for a scientific paper for submission, and I wonder if there is
a way to tell LyX (LaTeX) not to print the figure captions below each
figure. I incuded a table of figures, and all the captions appear in
there, (this is why I put captions on my figures in the first place), but
the figures should appear nude (without caption).
Simply put the following line in the preamble:
\def\@makecaption#1#2{}
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!

the figures should appear nude (without caption).
Simply put the following line in the preamble:
\def\@makecaption#1#2{}
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!

Suppressing figure captions
Hello all, I have a (weird) question concerning figure captions. I am preparing a manuscript for a scientific paper for submission, and I wonder if there is a way to tell LyX (LaTeX) not to print the figure captions below each figure. I incuded a table of figures, and all the captions appear in there, (this is why I put captions on my figures in the first place), but the figures should appear nude (without caption). Of course I can do this manually: write the list of figures with the corresponding captions by hand and leave the figures without caption. But in terms of handling the Lyx document, having the captions with the corresponding figure is much nicer. Any idea? BTW, I'm using the article class. Jan

you can add a latex command below the each figures... [in red]
like following...
... your figure ...
\stepcounter{figure}%
\addcontentsline{lof}{figure}{\thefigure\hspace{0.75em} the-figure-caption bla..
bla... }
I don't know whether it is right or not... but its OK if you do not mix
float figure and non-float figure... (especially for counter). The caption
is only shown in table of figures).

Figure captions and caption numbering
Some books have the caption above the figure, some below, and some to the side. Any suggestions on style for a technical book? Also, all tech books have figure numbering contain the chapter number and restart the figure number at 1 for each chapter (figure 10-1). But LyX labels and references number figures sequentially throughout the book (figure 96). Is there any way to get the chapter-figure numbering in LyX, while still retaining the ability to move chapters around without needing to explicitly tweak individual entries?

Re: TOF, Short Figure Captions?
This was an old question and answer, but I have still not yet understood
how it works.
If I produce a figure environment in lyx and insert a legend to the
figure, which is to long for the TOF, one should according to the answer
given below write the tex marked short/long captions in a standard
paragraph. But how do I get the (long) caption in my figure environment?
Should I run the file first with the long captions without a list of
figures, run it again with the tex marked caption under the list of
figures and take the list of figures (which has now the short captions)
out and add it to the lyx file (all marked in tex)?
Thanks in advance for help.
