[Tex/LaTex] Make all figures and tables framed by default?

floatsframed

Rounded corner colored box around figure

I'm interested in having all of my \begin{figure} and \begin{table} environments automatically get framed. Is there any way to do this? I know that I can use the solution in Border or frame around figure, but that doesn't change the default behavior. Is there any way to do that?

\documentclass{article}   
\usepackage[framestyle=fbox,framefit=yes,heightadjust=all,framearound=all]{floatrow}    
\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
foo\caption{bar}
\end{figure}

\begin{table}
foo\caption{bar}
\end{table}

\end{document}

The framed or mdframed packages allow you to put text in frames. Here's a way to do what you want with mdframed.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{listings}
\lstset{extendedchars=true,
    tabsize=3,
    frame=none,
    showspaces=false,
    boxpos=c,
    float=h,
    escapechar=\%
}
\usepackage[style=1]{mdframed}
\newcounter{boxctr}
\DeclareCaptionType{boxx}
\usepackage{needspace}
\newenvironment{Boxx}[2]{%
  \captionsetup{type=boxx}
  \begin{mdframed}[%
    linewidth=1pt,
    roundcorner=10pt,%
    leftmargin=.05\textwidth,
    rightmargin=.05\textwidth,
    skipabove=.7\baselineskip]%
    \refstepcounter{boxctr}%
    \label{#1}%
    \gdef\boxxcaption{\caption{#2}}
    \needspace{2\baselineskip}
  }{%
  \end{mdframed}%
  \boxxcaption%
}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\begin{document}
This is a reference to Box~\ref{box:one}!
\vspace{1.5cm}
\lipsum[1-4]
\begin{Boxx}{box:one}{This is a caption}
  \begin{enumerate}
  \item One
  \item Two
  \item Three
  \end{enumerate}
\end{Boxx}
\lipsum[1]
\begin{Boxx}{box:two}{This is also a caption}
  \begin{lstlisting}
    Also works with listings

    \foo is escaped!
  \end{lstlisting}
\end{Boxx}
\lipsum[2]
\end{document}

Boxes take two extra arguments: a label and a caption, just like the environment defined in the question. They use the caption package's captioning magic. So this should make doing lists of boxes easier. The label should stick with the bottom of the box now. This might lead to some ugly whitespace, but other than making the boxes float, this is probably as good as it gets.

You can define your own \floatstyle. In this case I took the definition from the float package and adjusted it to use the mdframed package environment to draw the frame.

Here is a comparison of using \floatstyle{boxed} and \floatstyle{myRoundBox}:
