I have a lot of figures which are numbered with: Figure 1.1, ..., Figure 8.5. In between, I have two special figures, that I want to call Figure A and B, so that the numbering of figues goes like:

Figure 1.1, ..., Figure 2.2, Figure A, Figure 2.3, ... Figure 5.6, Figure B, Figure 6.1, ...

I have tried to play with the caption package, but did not find the command. Is there something like:

\documentclass{ThesisTemplate}

\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}    

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=1.\linewidth]{./figs/special_figure}
\captionsetup{letter="A"}
\caption{Description of special figure}
\label{fig:special}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

    How should the numbering of the figures continue after thie "special figure"? Could you please also make your code compilable by adding the documentclass as well as the relevant packages. – leandriis May 08 '19 at 13:59
  • You probably should declare a new float, numbered alphabetically. – Bernard May 08 '19 at 14:02
  • @Bernard How do I do that? – guest_alex May 08 '19 at 14:06
  • @leandriis Thank you, I've edited the post. – guest_alex May 08 '19 at 14:07
  • See this answer for declaring a new float https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/95634/24974 – erik May 08 '19 at 14:12

    Load the float package and use something like \newfloat{Afigure}{htbp}{loa}[chapter] in the preamble: htbp are the possible placements for the new float (like the standard figure), loa is the extension for the auxiliary file that LaTeX would use to construct the list of Afigures, and the optional [chapter] would mean the ‘numbering’ would restart at each chapter. – Bernard May 08 '19 at 14:20
