Graphics, Figures & Tables ⇒ Advanced Numeration of Figures&Tables

[an24]

Please, can you help me with the problem.
Now I have the following automatic numeration:

Section 1
Figure 1
Figure 2

Section 2
Figure 3
Figure 4

Section 3
Figure 5
Figure 6

But I want:

Section 1
Figure 1.1
Figure 1.2

Section 2
Figure 2.1
Figure 2.2

Section 3
Figure 3.1
Figure 3.2

How can I achieve this?

Hi an24,

welcome to the board!

If you're already using amsmath, you could achieve that by

Code: Select all

\numberwithin{figure}{section}
\numberwithin{table}{section}

Or use the cngcntr package:

Code: Select all

\usepackage{chngcntr}
\counterwithin{figure}{section}
\counterwithin{table}{section}

Or, especially if your document is large, consider to use a class like book or report (or scrbook, scrreprt, memoir) that provide chapters. Usually figures and tables would already be numbered in the desired way, per chapter.
