stepcounter

Post by gaus »

Hi

Im using this function to be able to post figures in my report:

\

Code: Select all

newcommand{\myfig}[3][0]{
\begin{center}
  \vspace{1.5cm}
  \includegraphics[width=#3\hsize,angle=#1]{#2}
  \nobreak\medskip
\end{center}}

\newcommand{\mycaption}[1]{
  \vspace{0.1cm}
  \begin{quote}
    {\begin{center}{\sc Figure} \arabic{figure}: #1\end{center}}
  \end{quote}
  \vspace{0.5cm}
  \stepcounter{figure}
}
How do I get the \stepcounter to start at 1, and not 0? Figure 0 does not make sense in the report!

Thanks!

Hi gaus,

welcome to the board!
You could use \setcounter at the beginning to set the value to 1.
