[Tex/LaTex] Lyx IEEE Transactions Figure Label Nonstandard

floatsieeetranlyx

I am using the IEEE transactions template in lyx and I noticed on the figures instead of saying "Fig.1" or "Fig. 2", the figures are labeled as "Figure 1." or "Figure 2."

I looked at the most recent publications from this journal and the correct method is Fig., not Figure as lyx is outputting.

I am wondering what could be wrong and what I should try. I already went to Document–>Settings–>Document class and double checked it is set to "IEEE Transactions" and Custom: journal.

Best Answer

ieeetran.cls has

\def\figurename{Fig.}
\def\tablename{TABLE}
\@IEEEcompsocconfonly{\def\figurename{Figure}}

so should be using Fig. except in the IEEE comp soc conf setting. You can always add

\renewcommand\figurename{Fig.}

to set it back.
