General ⇒ degree and appendix

[itb1000]

Hi,
I would like to write the degree symbol (circle).
I use: $^\circ$. The pdf file does not show a space between the degree circle and the next word. How can I solve this problem?

Next question:
My thesis has five chapters and I would like to include figures in an Appendix.
How can I create an Appendix and refer to the Appendix figure numbering in an other chapter?

I tried the following but it does not work:

The main Thesis:

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt]{report}
\begin{document}
\pagenumbering{roman}
\tableofcontents

\pagenumbering{arabic}
\include{chapter1}
\include{AppendixA}
\end{document}

In chapter 1:
\typeout{CHAPTER 1}
\chapter[blabla] {blabla}
\section{Introblabla}
text is shown in Appendix A (Fig.\ref{FigA1}).
more text
vfill

In Appendix A:

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{pic_chap2/FigA1.jpg}
\end{center}
\caption{text.}\label{FigA1}
\end{figure}
\vfill


Can somebody help me?
Thanks,
Thierry

Include the textcomp package and use \textdegree\ to get the right output.

You have to process your source at least twice to get all references right.

Hi Thorsten,
The degree symbol works well m\now. Thanks.

For the Appendix references:
I processed the source several time, the numbering of the figures included in the chapter works fine but I still get Fig.?? for the ones that I included in the Appendix.
Do you think that
In chapter 1:
\typeout{CHAPTER 1}
\chapter[blabla] {blabla}
\section{Introblabla}
Figure is shown in Appendix A (Fig.\ref{FigA1}).
more text
\vfill

In Appendix A:

\begin{figure}[htbp]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics{folder/FigA1.jpg}
\end{center}
\caption{text.}\label{FigA1}
\end{figure}
\vfill

Do you think that it is right?

Since I don't know what you are relly doing, I can only give an example that works fine for me.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}
\usepackage[centering,includeheadfoot,margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage{blindtext}

\setlength{\parindent}{0em}
\setlength{\parskip}{\medskipamount}

\begin{document}
  \tableofcontents
  \chapter{One}
    \blindtext

    \begin{figure}[!ht]
      \centering
      \rule{4cm}{3cm}
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-1}
    \end{figure}
  \chapter{Two}
    \blindtext

    \begin{figure}[!ht]
      \centering
      \rule{4cm}{3cm}
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-2}
    \end{figure}
 
   Reference to Figure~\ref{fig:dummy-a1} and Figure~\ref{fig:dummy-a2}.

  \appendix
  \chapter{One}
    \blindtext

    \begin{figure}[!ht]
      \centering
      \rule{4cm}{3cm}
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-a1}
    \end{figure}

  \chapter{Two}
    \blindtext

    \begin{figure}[!ht]
      \centering
      \rule{4cm}{3cm}
      \caption{Dummy figure}\label{fig:dummy-a2}
    \end{figure}
\end{document}

If the references in your document are missing, please post a minimal working example (MWE) that shows the effect.

Thanks.
Now it works.

I have several chapter and I wouldlike to label the figure with Fig A1 in Appendix A of chapter 1 and Fig B1 Appendix B of chapter 2.
It is possible?

Thanks for your help,

Thierry

I'm not sure if you only mean the figure name or its counter or both.
