Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Subfigure reference format

[sandsoftime]

Hi
I am trying to change the default way in which the \ref command works with subfigure references. Right now the output I get is a figure number appended with the subfigure alphabet eg. 4c. I want it to appear as 4 (c) instead. I tried changing the \subref and \thefigure commands but couldn't figure it out.

Hi Murtaza,

the suggestion given in this other thread could be useful for you.

Hi
The captions themselves appear in the parentheses by default. The \subref only generates a reference to the subfigure and gives the alphabet (a), (b) etc. However, with \ref the parantheses disappear. Is there a way to make \subref work so that reference to the parent figure is also generated. Or anyway to modify the \ref command?

It's recommendable to use the subcapton package that comes with the current version of the caption package. It has its own manual which explains everything in detail. References are much easier.

...Is there a way to make \subref work so that reference to the parent figure is also generated...

That's exactly what the example code in the linked thread does.

Thanks. It works. I just forgot to add the \usepackage{subfig} explicitly in Lyx document preamble.
