[Tex/LaTex] Remove Figure label in “List of Figures”

classicthesistable of contents

I'm using classicthesis of André Miede and I have the following list of figures:

I don't really like the sequence of Figure words (I think it's redundant) and I'm wondering if there's a way to keep only the numbering plus the caption.

Like this:

LIST OF FIGURES

2.1 caption
2.2 caption
2.3 caption
and so on…

Same thing with listings and tables. In chapters, instead, I think it's ok to have "Figure", "Listing" and so on.

I'm not handy with LaTeX so I don't know where to start and even if it's possible!

Add \renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{} to your code:

\documentclass{book}
\usepackage[floatperchapter]{classicthesis}
\renewcommand{\cftfigpresnum}{}
\begin{document}
  \listoffigures
  \chapter{Chapter}
  \begin{figure}
    \caption{A figure}
  \end{figure}
  \chapter{Chapter}
  \begin{figure}
    \caption{A figure}
  \end{figure}
\end{document}

[Tex/LaTex] How to change the line spacing in the list of figures

In the book class there's an internal macro \@chapter that's adding the space by this line:

\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\addvspace{10\p@}}%

You could redefine this macro. Alternatively, you could disable \addvspace in the list of figures, for instance by

\newcommand*{\noaddvspace}{\renewcommand*{\addvspace}[1]{}}
\addtocontents{lof}{\protect\noaddvspace}

The effect should end with the list of figures, but of course you could group it to limit the scope.

If you disabled it you could use an environment or a declaration of the setspace package, to get more space between the lines of the list of figures. Or you just use \linespread locally:

\addtocontents{lof}{\linespread{2}\selectfont}

[Tex/LaTex] Chapters inside LoF and LoT

You can insert part, chapter or any other references in a table of contents, list of figures or list of tables with \addcontentsline{ext}{type}{text} where ext is the extension of auxiliar file (usually toc, lof, lot), type specifies type of contents and text what you want to be shown in the list. Here you have a simple example.

\documentclass{book}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\part{A}
\addcontentsline{lof}{part}{Part A}
\chapter{A1}
\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{Chapter A1}
\section{A11}
\begin{figure}
\caption{FigA1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\caption{FigA2}
\end{figure}
\chapter{A2}
\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{Chapter A2}
\begin{figure}
\caption{FigA21}
\end{figure}
\part{B}

\end{document}

The result is

The package tocloft allows you to define or change the format of a table of contents but I've never used it. You can read its introduction and will learn how ToC works in LaTeX.

EDIT: You can avoid typing twice chapter names and part names if you declare your own commands. Look at the example \mypart command contains \part and \addcontentsline. This way, parts and chapters in lof will look the same as in toc.

\documentclass{book}
\newcommand{\mypart}[1]{%
\part{#1}
\addcontentsline{lof}{part}{\thepart\hspace{1em}#1}
}

\newcommand{\mychapter}[1]{%
\chapter{#1}
\addcontentsline{lof}{chapter}{\numberline{\thechapter}#1}
}

\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\listoffigures
\mypart{A}
\mychapter{A1}
\section{A11}
\begin{figure}
\caption{FigA1}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
\caption{FigA2}
\end{figure}
\mychapter{A2}
\begin{figure}
\caption{FigA21}
\end{figure}
\mypart{B}

\end{document}
