figure numbering

Post by jauld »

I have chapters, sections, subsections and subsubsections in my thesis however when I include figures the figure numbering stops at sections. So a figure in subsubsection 1.1.1.1 has figure number 1.1.

Anyway to change this?

Thanks,

Janeen

Hi Janeen,

welcome to the board!
You could use the chngcntr package and write

Code: Select all

\counterwithin{figure}{subsubsection}
or if you use amsmath:

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{figure}{subsubsection}
The caption package provides another solution that could be found in its documentation.
