Line spacing in List of Figures

[Les Denham]

All,

I have a rather abstruse problem which may not have a solution, but I
would appreciate any suggestions.

I am typesetting a novel with LyX, using the Memoir Class (I am very
familiar with it), but I have come across an unusual problem. Most
novels do not have figures, but this one does. I do want a List of
Figures, but I don't want the figures numbered.

I can achieve this by removing the caption from each float and replacing
it with: 
\legend{picture name} 
\addcontentsline{lof}{figure}{picture name}

This gives the "picture name" as the caption, and in the List of
Figures at the left end of the line, with a dotted leader to the
correct page number.

The remaining problem is that the line spacing in the List of Figures
is smaller if there is more than one figure in a chapter. I would like
to have uniform line spacing in the List of Figures, regardless of
chapter breaks.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Les

xhtml export from Lyx: List of figures

[Wolfgang Engelmann]

the xhtml export from Lyx leads to a list of figures which shows the 
whole content of the legends. I would like to have here only the short 
title, but the long title in the legends. What would be the best way to 
achieve this (98 figures!).

I'm happy to hear you've solved your problem.
The rule is very silly, indeed!
The LoF is useful when you have a lot of figures, not on the contrary!
Have a good day!

We still ask to provide a minimal example. It is far more easy for you
than for anyone else (downloading and experimenting with uncommon stuff)
and has to be done anyway to get to the core of the problem.

Sorry, I did "reply" instead of "reply to all":

--
The culprits are these commented lines in your uuthesis.cls:

%\newif\iflistoffigures
...
%\listoffigurestrue
...
%
%\def\listoffigures{
%  \iflistoffigures
%\newpage
%    \thispagestyle{empty}
%\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{LIST OF FIGURES}

%\ifnoisy \typeout{List of Figures.} \fi
%\@starttoc{lof}
%  \else
%\ifnoisy \typeout{No list of figures.} \fi

If you leave out all the "%", you'll get your LoF.

However, I think you have to ask who provided you the uuthesis.cls, maybe
they have commented those lines because they don't want LoFs in that kind
of thesis.

Good luck for your graduation!

Thank you all that did it.

Funny thing is once I started uncommenting things I realized that I was the
one who commented it out several years ago when I was doing my master's
thesis. The rule is if you have more than 25 figures then there is no list
of figures which I find silly. I have more than 25 for my dissertation but
for my own personal copy I want the list. I swore I had removed the
functionality but thought I made changes in the preamble. After being
unable to fix it I figured it must be something else and emailed out. So
thanks again, it feels great to be finished!

I wish it had been that simple. I thought I had seen that package so was
excited. I was trying to avoid the minimal example since I have to use a
dropbox link because of all of the custom class and layout files. Here is a
dropbox link though with a zip file containing all the necessary stuff. You
can comment out "\listoffigures" in the ERT at the beginning of the
document and it compiles just fine but when uncommented it breaks.

If you really absolutely need more capacity,

Hi Aline,
Try \addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{listoftables}\markboth{}{}
i.e. remove the backslash preceding "listoftables".
It works here.

list of figures and table overlapping with title

but I have been very happy with Lyx.

When I generate the PDF output, in the list of figures and tables when I get

5.5.11

then the 0 overlaps with the first letter of the title of the table or figure.

Is there an easy way to get round this problem?

Are you sure you do not use the babel packge? LyX uses it by default. 
What does the ViewSource window show when you tick the show complete
source box? (You can also export your example to LaTeX and play with
it.)

I am asking, because the minimal LaTeX example

  \documentclass[english]{article}
  % \usepackage{babel}
  
  \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} 
  
  \begin{document}
  
  \tableofcontents
  \section{test the best}

works as you expect (showing Table of Contents as contents heading in
the output).

 I reproduced your symptom in an article based document, putting
 \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} in the document
 preamble, as you would expect it should be. Like you, my document
 continued to print the table of contents title as Contents. So then I
 exported to LaTeX, fooled around with it, and discovered it works only
 if \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} is in the document
 itself, not the document header.

The usual trick in these cases is \AtBeginDocument. Indeed, replacing
renaming \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents} with:

 \AtBeginDocument{\renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of Contents}}

works also with babel as expected.

 So I went back into LyX, removed \renewcommand{\contentsname}{Table of
 Contents} from the document preamble, and put it in an ERT before the
 Table of Contents, and it did the right thing.

No need for ERT with \AtBeginDocument.

I'm not sure why we load babel after the user preamble. This seems 
wrong, for this reason.

Spacing Within List of Figures and List of Tables

[Rich Shepard]

  I don't see an entry in TLC2 for this, but think that I faced this problem
in the past and solved it somehow. But, I can't find a document with the
solution so I ask you folks for a clue stick.

  The numbers and captions in the List of Figures and List of Tables have no
spaces between them and the caption text. I have a space between the label
and text in each caption but that does not seem to be sufficient. It must be
something simple that I'm missing but I am not seeing it.

I don't know what's wrong, though I'm wondering whether it has
anything to do with their spanning over two lines. Two suggestions:
- see if 'tocloft' can do anything for you
- this would be an ugly hack, but you could always add a couple of
protected spaces (ctrl+space in LyX or ~ in LaTeX) in front of your
captions.

Liviu,

  I don't know how being multilined can affect the spacing between the
numbers and the first letter of the top line for each one. Something changed
and apparently had unintended consequences with figure and table listings.

  It should. However, ... I need a pointer to installing it:

[root@salmo ~]# tlmgr install tocloft
/usr/share/texmf/bin/tlmgr: open(/usr/share/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb) failed: No
such file or directory at /usr/share/tlpkg/TeXLive/TLPDB.pm line 327.

  I have texlive-20110705 installed here.

  I always manually installed LaTeX packages when runing tetex. I did so now

added two protected spaces before each table and figure caption and that did
the trick.

classicthesis spacing in list of figures

[Thomas Hesse]

Hello.

After i change the language from englisch in german, the spacing in list of 
figure/Abbildungsverzeichnis is not enough.
example:
Figure 1.1 text   -ok
Abbildung 1.1 text-only one space, but ok
Abbildung 1.10text- is the second number two-digit, no space between 
number and text

how can i change this?
p.s. how can i change in classicthesis the footnote? currently there is the 
date.

many thx!

It's not even a footnote, in a sense that the text points to it. If you 
want to remove it, read the manual, there's an option to classicthesis.sty.
If you want to change it to something else, you'll have to change 
classicthesis.sty, or to override (or copy) the responsible command in 
the preamble.

This is pretty obscure black magic but it works. Put this in your preamble

Re: Figure numbers and the figure captions overlap in list of figures

[Shivaramaiah, Nagaraj]

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..
