[Tex/LaTex] Add period in list of figures/list of tables

liststables

I'm currently working on my thesis and encountered a problem I couldn't find a solution for.

My list of figures and list of tables requires a period after the counter (front number). My list of tables looks like this:
List of Tables

What do I need to add to the preamble to add the period without removing/changing any other formats?

The following code is used (just an extract, if more code is required, let me know. 

    %%% list of tables
\setlength{\cftbeforelottitleskip}{-10pt} % keep at 1 inch margin
\setlength{\cftafterlottitleskip}{0pt} % keep the double spacing
\renewcommand*\listtablename{LIST OF TABLES} % rename contents
\renewcommand{\cftlottitlefont}{\hspace*{\fill}\normalsize\bfseries} % keep consistent font size
\renewcommand{\cftafterlottitle}{\hspace*{\fill}} % center title
\renewcommand\cfttabafterpnum{\vskip10pt\par}
\setlength{\cfttabindent}{0pt}  % remove indentation from tables in lot

Here I add the page to the document:

    \clearpage
\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{LIST OF TABLES}
\listoftables

Thanks a lot for the help. I highly appreciate it.

Best,
Daniel

Best Answer

In your changes to the ToC you have \renewcommand{\cftchapftersnum}{.} to add a period after the chapter number. Do similar things for the LoF and LoT:

\renewcommand{\cftfigaftersnum}{.}
\renewcommand{\cfttabaftersnum}{.}

See the tocloft documentation (> texdoc tocloft).
