Removing picture text in rmarkdown

Question

When I insert an image in Rmarkdown, I see "Image #:" below the image.

How do you get rid of the text "Figure:"?

for example here is my code

![my caption](C:/mypath/myimage.png)

and the image will appear with the caption “Figure 1: my signature” below. I just want the signature to be "my caption"

I looked here http://yihui.name/knitr/options/#chunk_options , and fig.lp seems like it could be a solution, but when I include this in the header like:

---
title: "My Title"
output: pdf_document
fig.lp: ('';character)
---

"Figure:" is still displayed.

Thank.

  pdf_document:
