the figures are labelled
Figure 1: caption

I need FIG. 1. Caption
Notice the colon has become a period.
At the moment I am using \renewcommand{\figurename}{FIG.}
to change the Figure to FIG. and that is fine. How do I change the
following colon to a period (or full-stop for us English folk)?
For those who use another language than english the command to change the
label is (here as example for the language "ngerman"):
\usepackage[ngerman]{babel}
\addto\captionsngerman{\renewcommand{\figurename}{FIG.}}
To format captions use the LaTeX-package "caption". The package option to
change the label separator is:
\usepackage[labelsep=period]{caption}

Many thanks. Worked and the paper is now off to be printed.
