Figure without caption

[F.P. Laussy]

Hi,

How can I use \caption without numbering of the figure (and without any
mention "Figure. x" appearing). Using a starred version of figure
environment does not do the trick,

Best,

F.

the figure environment has nothing to do with the numberring, the *'ed
version is for something else.

have a look at the caption package, it should be able to do such a thing.

Those are two of the three things that \caption does. Do you want
an entry in a list of figures? If not then sureley just type your
text, without \caption. If you need a LOF entry, then I would
probably use \addcontentsline, but you might want to do

\renewcommand\***@figure[1]{\ignorespaces}

The memoir class and the ccaption (double c) package provide a \legend
command for this.
