How do I change the caption for a figure in Latex?

Question

I would like to change the caption from being:

Figure 1: ...

to

From left to right: ...

If I try and renewcommand the figurename, they still get numbered. This is unecessary as there is only a single image in the document.

Any suggestions?

You could also use the caption package to remove the "Figure 1:" from the \caption{} command.

\usepackage{caption}
...
\begin{figure}
\caption*{A figure}
. . .
\end{figure}
