Hi,
This is a problem with the color package (used by xcolor and xxcolor
which is used by TikZ). For a minimal example:
\documentclass{uicthesi}
\usepackage{color}
\begin{document}
\begin{figure}
A figure
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}
\end{document}
The color stuff uses \aftergroup and assumes that a box has an extra
grouping level inside it. This extra grouping is provided by
appropriately defined LaTeX macros in class/style files.
Unfortunately, uicthesi.cls does not define macros appropriately in
this case.
You can see this if you compare the the definitions of \@xfloat in
uicthesi.cls and latex.ltx (which should be in the base folder of your
LaTeX distribution).
You can try changing the line in the definition of \@xfloat in uicthesi.cls from
\global\setbox\@currbox\vbox\bgroup
to
\global\setbox\@currbox\color@vbox\normalcolor\vbox\bgroup
Which should work. Given the difference in maintainance dates
(uicthesi.cls 1996, and color.sty 2005 - at least on my system), there
may be other bits that need updating as well.
Regards
Mark
