[comp.text.tex] selective figure numbering in list of figures with latex

ascott@gara.une.oz.au (Tony Scott STPG) (08/03/90)

I have a document using the report style in which I want to place
figures. The figures will be cross-referenced with \label{key}, placed
after a \caption{} command. 
 With the \caption{} command
the figure will be labelled with something like figure 1.1 or the
like.The problem here is that the
\caption command also makes an entry into the list of figures, something
that I don't want to happen all the time.
 My question is whether there is a way of allowing a simple figure
title like that above without to be used without the lof file being added to?

Thanks in advance.
