I'm currently using this code \begin{minipage}{.5\textwidth} \centering \includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{fixed_button_settings.png} \captionof{figure}{Some figure} \end{minipage} and this is the result For further notice, this line of code \captionof{figure}{Some figure} results in an error: Package caption Error: No float type 'figure' defined. I have added this in the main.tex preamble \usepackage{float} \usepackage{caption} What should I do to make the caption appear as: "Figur 1: Some figure"?

So you have two possibilities: copy all the code needed for figure into an own local new class mymoderncv.cls or do not use figure and make it by your own. You can use minipage, and write the heading by your own, because in a cv y

'caption' package and ACM SIG proceedings class... Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] Hi, I'm trying to solve a problem I'm having with use of the 'caption' package along with ACM's 'sig-alternate' document class (this is a common class for publishing in computer science proceedings). Specifically, I find that figure captions in my manuscript's appendix do not have the correct margins; the right-margin of the caption is inset from the standard http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/136509/how-to-fix-caption-in-moderncv column width of the 2-column layout and thus not properly aligned with the rest of the text in its column. In trying to debug this, I note that if I move the location of the appendix *prior* to the list of references, this bug disappears (however, I need to keep the document portions in their current https://tug.org/pipermail/texhax/2010-September/015595.html location)... It also disappears if I remove the use of the 'caption' package (however, I need it for other figure, especially along with the 'subfig' package). In terms of software versions, I'm using TeXLive on Debian Lenny (testing), specifically "texlive 2007.dfsg.2-1~lenny2" (in terms of Debian package versioning). My invocation calls: pdfTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.40.3 (Web2C 7.5.6) (format=pdflatex 2010.8.1) Some particular package versions: caption.sty 2007/01/07 v3.0k caption3.sty 2007/01/07 v3.0k subfig.sty 2005/06/28 ver: 1.3 Going in a different direction, I tried to upgrade to a more recent version of 'caption' and ran into a different problem. I tried the most recent versions of 'caption.sty' (2010/01/09 v3.1m) and 'caption3.sty' (2010/01/14 v3.1m) packages, and this actually solved the above problem --- with them, the caption in my appendix is properly aligned!!! However, unfortunately, another problem develops here: I now get a (pdf)LaTex compile error: "Package caption Error: No float type 'copyrightbox' defined." According to the SIG FAQ, I can remove the ACM copyright box, by making the following inclusion: \makeatletter \let\@copyrightspac

Backup. For the error: Package caption Error: No float type 'copyrightbox' defined In case you forgot, the ACM SIG Proceedings Templates are nice looking, but have quite a https://lilianweng.wordpress.com/2011/10/17/problems_with_your_acm_sig_proceedings_copyright_box/ few quirks. First is this error that you might get: Package caption https://answers.launchpad.net/moderncv/+question/189714 Error: No float type 'copyrightbox' defined. I'm not sure, but I think this is from using the subfig package. In order to "fix" this error while simultaneously getting rid of your copyright box, try makeatletter let@copyrightspacerelax makeatother Before the begin{document}.

to the definition of the moderncv class. However, I noticed that there is some packages to add caption in non-floating environment, like "caption" or "capt-of". Unfortunately, these packages seems to not work in the moderncv class (error "Package caption Error: No float type 'figure' defined \captionof{figure}{". The same code work if the classical article class is loaded. best, Question information Language: English Edit question Status: Answered For: moderncv Edit question Assignee: Xavier Danaux Edit question Last query: 2012-03-05 Last reply: 2012-03-05 Related bugs Link existing bug Related FAQ: None Link to a FAQ Xavier Danaux (xdanaux) said on 2012-03-05: #1 Hi Flo, The figure environment is simply not defined in moderncv. You can define it your self if you need it (\newenvironment). FYI, the figure definition in the article class is roughly the following: \makeatletter \renewcommand \thefigure {\@arabic\c@figure} \def\fps@figure{tbp} \def\ftype@figure{1} \def\ext@figure{lof} \def\fnum@figure{Figure\nobreakspace\thefigure} \newenvironment{figure}{\@float{figure}}{\end@float} \makeatother Kind regards, Can you help with this problem? Provide an answer of your own, or ask Flo__ for more information if necessary. History Link existing bug Create bug report Link to a FAQ Create a new FAQ To post a message you must log in.
