Figure environment definition in a class
Lynda Metref
I want to write a class for a thesis and I get stuck when defining the
figure environment. I used the book class as basis and the goal is to
have all figure environments centred.
I have tried this:
\renewenvironment{figure}
{\@float{figure} \centering}
{\end@float}
but now the argument [htb] used to give a hint on the figure position
is not taken into account any more.
Any idea?
Thank you
Joseph Wright
The trick is not to redefine figure but to mess with some internals.
\let\orig@floatboxreset\@floatboxreset
\def\@floatboxreset{%
\centering
\orig@floatboxreset
}
(If the floatrow package is going to be used, instead use its
objectset=centering setting.)

It's easier with
\g@addto@macro\@floatboxreset{\centering}
which is mostly equivalent to your solution, but avoids a new
command. I'd put \centering last anyway, after \@setminipage,
but I don't actually know if this makes a difference. :)
Both approaches have the drawback that also table environments
will be centered.

I'd call that a good thing :-)

One never knows what self-made publishers like to do. :)
