Post by Chris RackauckasCentering the graphics in floats automatically is easy: Just add
\usepackage{floatrow}
to the preamble. I just made a module that does this and it's a quick fix
to everything. However, for this lab notebook I am making, I want to
quickly add graphics and not worry about having to center them or put them
into floats (and all of the formatting jazz that goes with it).
I had a similar question, and I =rmember that I redifined the
\includegraphics - but I don't remember any details anymore.
See e.g. the thread "Re: Search and replace within figure settings?" in
this group for an example on how to include always a shadowbox - this
could be easily changed to center the included graphics.
Here the relevant extract:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
%%%%%%%%
% from
% http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/70547/how-can-i-renew-includegraphics-to-always-use-shadowbox
\usepackage{graphicx,fancybox,letltxmacro}
% save the meaning of \includegraphics
\LetLtxMacro\latexincludegraphics\includegraphics
% pass the image to \shadowbox
\renewcommand{\includegraphics}[2][]{%
\shadowbox{\latexincludegraphics[#1]{#2}}}
%%%%%%%%
In addition, I used the following in the preamble to make the graphics always centered:
\renewenvironment{figure}[1][]{
\@float{figure}
\centering}
{\***@float}
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Cheers,
Rainer

Post by James SutherlandBetter yet, why doesn't LyX center graphics (at least in floats) by
default? It centers captions by default, so why not graphics? This
inconsistency has long annoyed me...

Post by Chris RackauckasHello,
I am trying to create a modification that will center all graphics
automatically. How would I go about doing this? I tried
adding \usepackage{floatrow} to the LaTeX preamble but this only centers
graphics put into floats. Any ideas?
