Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ subfigure remove captions

[CoolnessItself]

I think I'm using a subfigure. I say I think because I have something like

\begin{figure}[ht]
\centering
\subfigure[]{
\includegraphics[scale=.5]{pic1.png}
}
\subfigure[]{
\includegraphics[scale=.5]{pic2.png}
}
\label{fig:subfigureExample}
\caption{wowzers}
\end{figure}

But if I \usepackage{subfigure}, I get errors due to package conflicts (says subfigure is already defined, while declaring nothing at all results in \subfigure not working). So for now I'm using the above code with \usepackage{subfig}, which runs.

So whatever package I'm using, I'd like to get rid of the (a) and (b) below each image. I tried \renewcommand\thesubfigure{} but that didn't change anything.

Suggestions?

At least two:

a) Using \captionsetup from the caption package:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{subfig}
\usepackage{caption}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \captionsetup[subfigure]{labelformat=empty}
  \centering
  \subfloat[]{\rule{3cm}{2cm}}\quad
  \subfloat[]{\rule{3cm}{2cm}}
  \caption{wowzers}
  \label{fig:subfigureExample}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

b) Using minipage environments (with this approach there's no need for the subfig package):

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}[!ht]
  \centering
  \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
    \centering
    \rule{3cm}{2cm}
  \end{minipage}
  \begin{minipage}{.45\textwidth}
    \centering
    \rule{3cm}{2cm}
  \end{minipage}
  \caption{wowzers}
  \label{fig:subfigureExample}
\end{figure}

\end{document}

Remarks: 1) I used \rule commands in my examples to simulate actual images making the examples compilable for everyone. Please, in your actual code use the standard \includegraphics comand instead.
2) Inside floating environments (table, figure, etc.) the \label command must always be used after the \caption command.
