The figure environment

[linwaytin]

For now, the default figure and figure* environments are structured like

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centerline{\includegraphics[]{xxxxxxx}}
\caption[]{\label{xxxx} }
\end{figure}

I would suggest changing the default to like

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\centering
\includegraphics[]{xxxxxxxx}
\caption[]{}
\label{xxxx}
\end{figure}

which seems more popular. I'm not a LaTeX expert, but \centerline seems not a good option here?

Or, is there an easy way to customize the environment?

Hi,

you can certainly customize the figure environment, using the variable cdlatex-env-alist, for example like this:

(setq cdlatex-env-alist '(("figure" "\begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[]{AUTOFILE} \caption[]{?} AUTOLABEL \end{figure}" nil) ("figure" "\begin{figure}[htbp] \centering \includegraphics[]{AUTOFILE} \caption[]{?} AUTOLABEL \end{figure}" nil)))

For now, I am not changing the default, we would have to have more support for this request.

Excuse me, I have tried the code you gave, but the AUTOLABEL does not work. it does not ask for a label. Do you know why?

Hi,

Autolabel works if you also use RefTeX.
