I'm using tocloft
with the report
document class. I have four chapters and some appendices. My List of Figures produces vertical spacing between figures from different chapters, but it does not add a vertical space between the last figure from my last chapter and the first figure from my first appendix:
3.7
3.8
<-- appropriate spacing
4.1
4.2
A1 <-- no preceding v-space
A2
Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong (and/or how to fix this)?

The default behaviour in
report
with or withouttocloft
is to add a vertical space of10pt
in the ToC, LoF and LoT whenever you use\chapter
. If you use\chapter*
for a similar chapter look-and-feel but no numbering, no entry is written to the ToC and this space is dropped.There are many ways to insert this "missing" gap, the easiest of which would just be to add
at the start of your appendix. This adds the traditional
10pt
space, but won't add more than that (due to\addvspace
; rather than\vspace
alone). For example, if the previous chapter didn't include any figures, you don't want double the gap between the LoF entries. This solution is independent of the use oftocloft
.Here is a minimal example:
