10. FLOATS AND CAPTIONSThe \newfloat command generates several new commands, some of which are internalLaTeX commands. For convenience, assume that the command was called as\newfloat{F}{X}{capname}so F is the name of the float environment and also the name of the counter for the caption,and X is the file extension. The following float environment and related commands arethen created.\begin{F} float material \end{F}\begin{F*} float material \end{F*}The new float environment is called F, and can be used as either \begin{F} or\begin{F*}, with the matching \end{F} or \end{F*}. It is given the standard defaultposition specification of [tbp].XdepthThe Xdepth counter is analogous to the standard tocdepth counter in that it specifies thatentries in a listing should not be typeset if their numbering level is greater than Xdepth.The default definition is\setcounter{Xdepth}{1}To have a subfloat of X appear in the listing do\setcounter{Xdepth}{2}As an example, suppose you wanted both figures (which come with the class), anddiagrams. You could then do something like the following.\newcommand{\diagramname}{Diagram}\newcommand{\listdiagramname}{List of Diagrams}\newlistof{listofdiagrams}{dgm}{\listdiagramname}\newfloat{diagram}{dgm}{\diagramname}\newlistentry{diagram}{dgm}{0}\begin{document}...\listoffigures\listfofdiagrams...\begin{diagram}\caption{A diagram} \label{diag1}...\end{diagram}As diagram~\ref{diag1} shows ...\setfloatadjustment{〈floatname〉}{〈code〉}Often it is useful to add some global configuration to a given type of float such that onewill not have to add this to each and every float. For example to have all (floating) figuresand tables automatically centered plus have all (floating) tables typeset in \small use\setfloatadjustment{figure}{\centering}\setfloatadjustment{table}{\small\centering}170
