How to label a figure as a subfigure of another

Post by aghoneim »

Does anyone know if it is possible to label a figure as a subfigure of another. For example I label some figure as {Art} and if displays as Figure (56). Is there anyway to make another figure display as Figure(56 A)?

You could do this using the caption package v3.1, for example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
% ...
\usepackage{caption}[2007/09/01]
\DeclareCaptionLabelFormat{continued}{#1~#2\Alph{ContinuedFloat}}
\captionsetup[ContinuedFloat]{labelformat=continued}
% ...
\begin{document}
% ...
\begin{figure}
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}
% ...
\begin{figure}\ContinuedFloat
\caption{A figure}
\end{figure}
% ...
\end{document}
The subfloat package should be able to do this, too, but I'am not sure about it, just take a closer look at its documentation...
