[Tex/LaTex] How to have separate list of Appendix figures

appendicestable of contents

My university wants figures in Appendix to be mentioned separately in TOC. Like this:

LIST OF APPENDIX
TABLES……………………………………………………………………ix

LIST OF APPENDIX
FIGURES………………………………………………………………….
x

All this in Table of Contents. How do I do that ?

I want list of figures and tables in appendix to be printed separately.

Following is the minimal working example using a template:

\documentclass[letterpaper,12pt,times,authoryear,print,index,oneside,custombib]{Classes/PhDThesisPSnPDF}

\ifdefineAbstract
\pagestyle{empty}
\includeonly{Declaration/declaration, Abstract/abstract}
\fi


\ifdefineChapter
\includeonly{Chapter3/chapter3}
\fi

\begin{document} \frontmatter

\begin{titlepage}   \maketitle \end{titlepage}


\include{Abstract/abstract}

\tableofcontents

\listoffigures

\listoftables


%\printnomenclature

\include{Chapter1/chapter1} \include{Chapter2/chapter2}
\include{Chapter3/chapter3} %\include{Chapter4/chapter6}
%\include{Chapter5/chapter5} %\include{Chapter6/chapter6}
%\include{Chapter7/chapter7}


\begin{appendices} % Using appendices environment for more
functunality

\include{Appendix1/appendix1} \include{Appendix2/appendix2}
\listoffigures

\end{appendices}

% *************************************** Index
******************************** \printthesisindex % If index is present

\end{document}

EDIT

How can I split the List fo figures? I want all figures that appear in the appendix to be in a separate list of figures.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{capt-of}
\begin{document} 
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures% List only the entries of the main part

\captionof{figure}{Wombat}
\captionof{figure}{Capybara}
\captionof{figure}{Duck}

\appendix
\listoffigures% List of only the entries of the appendix
\captionof{figure}{Ant}
\captionof{figure}{Biever}
\captionof{figure}{Cockroach}

\end{document}

This solution adds separate \listofappendixfigures and \listofappendixtables commands and a relevant entry to the ToC.

It changes the \tf@lof etc. file handles after the appendix such that no patching of \caption is needed.

Please note that the file handles are not restored afterwards! Any usage of \caption or \captionof will still write to the new .apt and .apf ToC files.

I used the MWE added by Johannes_B.

The code uses some adapted lines from my answer to this question: Printing a separate list of appendices.

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{capt-of}
\usepackage{tocloft}
\usepackage{xpatch}

\usepackage{hyperref}

% Just in case we're not using hyperref
\providecommand{\phantomsection}{}

% Generate the separate list of commands for appendix figures and tables
\newcommand{\listofappendixfiguresname}{List of Figures in Appendix}
\newlistof{appendixfigures}{apf}{\listofappendixfiguresname}
\newcommand{\listofappendixtablesname}{List of Tables in Appendix}
\newlistof{appendixtables}{apt}{\listofappendixtablesname}

\renewcommand{\cftafterapftitle}{\phantomsection\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listofappendixfiguresname}}
\renewcommand{\cftafterapttitle}{\phantomsection\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listofappendixtablesname}}

\xpretocmd{\listofappendixfigures}{\clearpage}{}{}
\xpretocmd{\listofappendixtables}{\clearpage}{}{}


\makeatletter
\xapptocmd{\appendix}{%
  \write\@auxout{%

    \string\let\string\tf@lot\string\tf@apt% 
  }%
}{}{}
\makeatother

\begin{document}

\listoffigures% List only the entries of the main part

\captionof{figure}{Wombat}
\captionof{figure}{Capybara}
\captionof{figure}{Duck}

Set the tocdepth counter to 0 for the appendix. (See also the answers to Numbered section hidden from the ToC.)

Note that while I use the article class in the following MWE, the solution also works for classes featuring the \chapter command (notably, book and report) because figure and table floats always feature LoF/LoT level 1.

\documentclass{article}

\begin{document}

\listoffigures

\section{foo}

\begin{figure}[ht!]
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}

\appendix 
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}}

\section{bar}

\begin{figure}[ht!]
\centering
\rule{1cm}{1cm}
\caption{An appendix figure}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

EDIT: As cmhughes points out, an alternative is to load the caption package and to replace

\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\setcounter{tocdepth}{0}}

with

\captionsetup{list=no}

in the above example.

[Tex/LaTex] Using Appendix prefix for figures in List of Figures

I'd suggest you a different approach. Using a manual formatting for your appendices implies too much work: you'll have to correct counters, marks, ToC entries, amongst others. Instead, you can use the titlesec package to easily change the chapter format in appendices, allowing you to use \chapter for your appendices and thus solving automatically all problems mentioned above; in particular, you recover the desired numbering for floats in the appendices.

In comments it has been mentioned that a colon must appear between the number and the title for ToC entries corresponding to appendices, and that chapter and section entries should have leading dots; this can be achieved with the help of the titletoc package.

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{titletoc}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{etoolbox}

\newcommand\AppChap{%
\titleformat{\chapter}[block]
  {\normalfont\large\bfseries\filcenter}{\appendixname\ \thechapter:}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}
  {0pt}{-20pt}{1em}
\titlecontents{chapter}
  [1.5em]{\vspace{10pt}\bfseries}
  {\contentslabel[\thecontentslabel:]{1.3em}}
  {\hspace*{-1.3em}}
  {\titlerule*[0.8em]{.}\contentspage}
}
\titlecontents{chapter}
  [1.5em]{\vspace{10pt}\bfseries}
  {\contentslabel{1.25em}}
  {\hspace*{-1.25em}}
  {\titlerule*[10pt]{.}\contentspage}
\titlecontents{section}
  [3.8em]{}
  {\contentslabel{2.3em}}
  {\hspace*{-2.3em}}
  {\titlerule*[10pt]{.}\contentspage}

\apptocmd{\appendix}{\AppChap}{}{}

\begin{document}

\tableofcontents
\listoffigures

\chapter{A regular chapter}
\section{A regular section}
\newpage
\appendix
\chapter{TITLE OF APPENDIX}
\section{A section in appendix}
\begin{figure}
\includegraphics{dummy}
\caption{dummy caption}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
