Is it possible to copy a float environment, such as e.g. the figure environment, to create a new environment, with identical properties except for the name (e.g. create a 'Ancillary Figure' instead of 'Figure' name) and float-counter?

In short, I would like to have a situation where I could have two distinct but concurrent figure-environments, one for "primary" figures and one for "auxiliary/ancillary" figures.

I expect that the float package would be handy here, but cannot see how to copy an environment.

  • Basically it comes down to float package usage, with \newfloat and some configuration of the caption, that should be done with caption package, of course. There's also a \newfloat package, by the same author as caption. Copying is more than just renaming the macro names ;-) –  Sep 09 '16 at 18:21

    Welcome to TeX.sx! I believe your question is answered here: New figure environment. If that's the case we'll probably close your question as a duplicate of the other one. – cgnieder Sep 09 '16 at 18:21
  • Indeed, this answers my question fully; if you would close the question as a duplicate, I would appreciate. Thanks to both of you for the help! – daysofsnow Sep 09 '16 at 18:45
