Removing prefix from figure captions in LaTeX

Asked 2010-10-01T19:14:35.027

I'd like to make my own caption inside \caption{} in figures of LaTeX. How can I turn off the "Figure " prefix from the captions that appear?

Instead of defining the caption style when loading the caption package, set it up afterwards:

\usepackage{caption}% http://ctan.org/pkg/caption
...
\captionsetup[figure]{labelformat=empty}%

These changes will now only pertain to figure environments.
