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

figure numbering

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.
