List of Figures

What?

A list of figures identifies all the figures that are used in the current document. Each figure is printed with its number, caption and a reference to the page where it is located.

How?

To add a list of figures, add the following lines to the backmatter of your main document (e.g., main.tex):

\addcontentsline{toc}{chapter}{\listfigurename}
\listoffigures

The \listoffigures command creates the list of figures, whereas \addcontentsline places an entry for the list of figures in your table of contents.

Where?

The list of figures is usually placed in the back of your document, after the last chapter or the appendices but before the bibliography. Add it after the command \backmatter to ensure that it is not treated as a regular chapter or an appendix in terms of chapter headings.

Package Information

The command \listoffigures is a LaTeX core command and does not require any packages.
