Figure numbering

Post by Andrea1998 »

Hello!

I am very new to Latex. I have a problem with the numbering of my figures. I would like them to just me numbered Figure 1, Figure 2 and so on. Instead, they are numbered depending on the chapter they are in, for example a figure in chapter 2 might be numbered Figure 2.1, Figure 2.2 etc.

This is very frustrating, as I have tried every solution the internet has provided me, and nothing worked... Can anybody out there help me? I am getting nervous as I have to hand in my thesis is 2 weeks...

Best wishes,
Andrea

The issue with the Figure numbering has been solved, yay!

I simply put this into my preamble:

\counterwithout{figure}{chapter}
