get rid of numbering of figures in appendix

Question

is it possible to remove numbering at figures? I am happy to have numbering in an article, but I would like to remove it from the appendix.

Answer 1

Add the following

\usepackage{caption}

in the preamble and use \caption* where you do not want Figure numbering.

\begin{figure}  
\includegraphics{}  
\caption*{Here is a caption}
\end{figure}
